The Kremlin leader's popularity among Americans, as of the first quarter of 2023, stands at 21 percent, according to pollster YouGov. In the first quarter of 2021, Putin's popularity hovered at 15 percent, and shortly after Russia began the war with Ukraine, it was registered at 17 percent.

Could there be people who (gasp!) don't trust the American government and media?

Say what you will, at least Putin is pro-Russia, his own country, unlike Biden. They are both nasty dictators, Biden just hasn’t gotten as far over the threshold for jailing political opposition. Biden helped Zelensky start the Ukraine war in the first place with the Nuland color revolution.

21%?

His popularity rating on Free Republic has gotta be at least 25 points higher than that.

As was the case with the leftists who yearned for a more European leader like Merkel in Germany, or who threatened to move to Canada after Trump was elected, there is nothing stopping these Putin lovers from moving to Russia.

Read up on Alexey Navalny, Putin's electoral opponent over the last 15 years, and the legal lawfare, questionable electoral methods, institutional harassment, and street-thug treatment he has faced.

You can cross out the word "Navalny," and write in "TRUMP," and nothing would be out of place. Its like a instruction manual the US deep-state is following. The only thing left is to put Trump in jail.

The USA should not be lecturing anyone about "democracy."

Putin — dictator who rejects fascist hedonistic one world government order.

Biden — anti-Christian anti-American fascist totalitarian authoritarian who wholly embraces the fascist hedonistic one world government order.

I remember when Gorby was much more popular in the US than he was in the Soviet Union.

beat me to it.

Hell, apparently we have the worlds greatest marksperson here on this forum who is a big Ukraine supporter who could probably end it all in weeks by jumping into the fight.
