PUTIN TO USA: MIND YOUR OWN DEMOCRACY

Putin is a smart man. Yes he's a shady thug but he knows how to turn the critical arguement 180 degrees. All Putin's points are relevant.

"Putin needs to calm down and have some guts to let it go sometimes. This is not a way he should be going through, and addresses US in this form; it's disrespectful and apologetic for US. Last thing you need is to attack your own ally. Russia as US is in crossroads of their own destiny, either they pick themselves up and face what is before them, or they will face destiny of their own destruction, for which I don't want to see it."

“No Tico, problem lies in Putin statements, as you know; sometimes we may say things, and later we realize we have said something wrong. In my opinion Putin went little bit too far on this one."


Thank you good America friend"Tico"

Putin not only longs for the days of the Soviet Union, he is IMHO actively trying to return to it.

How? By the flat 13% income tax? By breaking at least a few of the monopolies? By the 24% corporate tax? By removing the sales tax? By slashing the payroll and VAT taxes? By initiating CHRISTIAN education courses in schools and the military? (that one is pure communism after all). By establishing trial by jury (another communist favorite) or by putting 20% of the land for sale and setting property rights laws (Marx 101 right there). Oh I know how he's doing it: by banning abortions after 12 weeks and working to ban them out right, along with banning euthanasia. Or maybe its the fact that the public there now has limited gun ownership rights, more so then in almost all of Europe. And the cutting down of government, that is by all accounts pure marxism, right? So how is he remaking communism

Putin is doing nothing of the sort to bring back communism and I can applaud him for that. What he IS doing is bringing back the Russian Empire and setting himself up to become Tsar Vladimir I.

Oh yes, we are in the shadow of huge intellectual potential of a guy, who has dolls on his home page :)

Coming from a man who's usual contribution to a post is a couple of pictures. Yeah, ok.

The outcomes of regional elections are increasingly predictable, as elites appear to be engaged in a process of negotiation long before candidates can even be registered. For example, competing interests groups from the oil and timber industries agreed in advance to back the same candidate rather than competing ones in December

Welcome to American politics, this is the point where you become the pot calling the ....

We ignore the advice of leaders like Putin at our peril.

Let the argument stand: if Nicholas II had stayed on the throne, Soviet Terror, Nazi Germany, WW2, Korean War, Chinese Revolution, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Cold War, etc would never have happened. 130 million people would have been able to live, the present state of leftest American decay would not have proceeded and the present EU monstrocity that is growing into a future Fourth Reich beast to be slain would not have been there.

One can say that a constitutional monarchy in Russia is not a bad thing.

Thank you

"US have to stand up for it self and tell the world to deal with their own problems. As far as Putin goes, he shouldn't disrespect US like this, and he should apologize for his statement toward US internal problems. And who make him knowledgeable of US affair and her democracy."



Thank you
