English is my native language and I know the meaning of the word admire. Words have meanings. You need to look up "admire" in the dictionary.
Anyone who uses admire and Putin in the same sentence is a fool or a knave. You have no understanding of the nature of communism or the human toll it has caused. Putin was and is a KGB agent. He is bent on restoring communism to Russia. He is an enemy and no friend.
What the Hell you are doing on a conservative website like FR is beyond me.
You are mistaking me for somebody who gives a tinkers damn about what you think. Kiss my Pootie Pooh!
