G-d help me, but Pravda makes more sense to me than most stuff from the American MSM these daze.

he is an enigma. I am not sure what his politics are, except the politics of Putin remaining leader of Russia and a world leader.

He talks the talk and walks the walk. He is a REAL MAN....which is something we have not had in the oval office for 4+ years. and I am not putting Bush up on a pedestal as a president...only as a MAN.

That’s because Putin is doing a better job of watching out for our interests.

It's because Russian and Chinese leaders realize deep inside that they are dependent on America to stay afloat themselves.

From the article -

However, when they watch Obama destroying their own country with no hero to save them they become frustrated and look to Putin. Although they hear the same mantra from their TV that Putin is a dictator, Putin is evil, Putin is a murderer; from the internet they see him kneeling at Christ’s Holy Sepulcher which Obama never does when visiting Jerusalem. They see him going to church when they know Obama favors Muslims. They see Putin establishing laws to protect the church and laws against homosexuality. This they admire and this brings them hope. Hope in their crazy world where there is a leader willing to follow Christ. They have no Reagan but they see Putin whom they wish was their president. They write me,

“One of my fantasies is to kidnap Vladimir Putin and make him the leader of the US.” - Jim

“The fact that Putin allows Christianity is an AMAZING thing, while Christians, true ones, are persecuted in anti christ America.” - Robert

“Putin has encouraged the nation of Russia to return to spiritual values, whereas the US. is going in the opposite direction. “ - Glen

“It is a shame that it takes someone from Russia to speak the truth that our media refuses to do. The reason they don’t is because they are communists themselves. “ - Steve

Russia is always an enigma, Churchill was right on that.

There is more truth in Pravda than the la slimes and the ny slimes put together.

Putin just threw over his wife of many years for some acrobat. Give me a break about how devout he is.

I think this article misses the mark on American Christians. I certainly have never held any ill feeling towards the Russian Orthodox Church, and have never witnessed such feelings from anyone else. In fact, I greatly admire the Church for what it has done in Russia. It’s survival is a testament to the power of our Lord.

I don’t trust Putin, but I don’t really trust ANY foreign leader. Heck, I sure as hell don’t trust our foreign leader, Barack Hussein Milhaus Obama! I’d say that to distrust leaders is very healthy and the Founders encouraged it.

With regards to Christianity vis-a-vis Russia/America. Yes, Russia is becoming a safe haven for Christians while America is turning into the United Soviet States of Sodom, or the USSS.

When compared to obama, Putin seems to be a rational individual and a leader.

But I still would not trust him, anymore than I would trust obama.

I don’t so much TRUST Putin as RESPECT him.

Whereas I neither trust nor respect Obama. . .

In describing Putin, you state: he is an enigma. I am not sure what his politics are

And my response: No more so than our putative president.

In a time that has past, I would have said that is the dumbest thing I've ever read on FR.

In the present time, that is a very astute and intelligent observation.

I firmly believe our _resident of the White Hut is a dyed in the wool Marxist. Not a stretch really. and one who will ‘Stand with Islam’(in his own words) if it comes to a battle.
