Troll.
I think that you protest too much...if you are strong in your beliefs, others opposing them, should be of little concern to you. Putin is the head of a VERY powerful country and should be given due respect as such. I think that he is a fool for acting as he does...he has the ego of a professional wrestler....and the I.Q. to match.
In these days of islamic terrorism, he could be raised above all the fracas if he would just join civilized society in the war against terrorism....but his ego gets in the way every time.......sad
