I posted on another thread that I suspect many of Putin's problems were left to him by the corrupt Yeltsin.

Yeltsin allowed the oligarchs to seize the major industries in exchange for bribes.

Putin has had to deal with horrific terror attacks such as the theater invasion, bombings, Beslan and other attacks.

Is there anyone here who doesn't think his restrictions on the media is a good idea under these circumstances? His media is as anti government as ours.

Putin has been shutting down any media that criticizes him.

Putin is the KGB agent he always was.

Putin doesnt care about fighting terrorists because if he did then he would not be supplying Syria and Iran.

Also Putin helped attacks on his country happen so he could put down restrictions in the name of security.

Putin is no friend.
