Our country was wrong to limit Presidents to two terms. Russia would be wrong to give Putin three. In only two, he has created a dictatorship. In three, it would become a totalitarian state.

“Roosevelt laid out his plan for the country’s development for decades in advance” and was criticized for that by the U.S. elite, Russian news agencies quoted Putin as saying.

despite what we’re taught in public skrewls, FDR was probably the worst president in american history.

FDR may not have been a communist, but he was surrounded
by communists and communist sympathizers. Putin has his
facts wrong: The depression of the 1930’s did not end
until the Second World War ended. This had nothing to do
with anything FDR did.

This is a triple bagger. Not because FDR was not a Commie, but, because Putin thinks he is even half the leader (politics aside) that FDR was.
