I don’t like KGB,or commies.

But Putin is a known quantity. He will do what he thinks is best for Russia, and he enjoys the hell out of being Valdamir Putin.

I have yet to find a Russian willing to trade presidents...

I know the guy has values that are likely 180° opposed to many of mine. But by all the things I have seen about him and his devotion to Russia, he is someone I could easily see as a buddy with common interests and values.

As opposed to the current usurper illegally squatting in the White Hut. Would not feel at ease with him in the men's room.

I like and respect Putin for the fact that he is a true warrior, he looks like one and acts like one.

I also enjoyed the mutual respect he shared with President Bush while he visted the ranch.....
