As George Patton said “America Loves a Winner!” (or so the movie goes) and Vlad bests the BAM in every encounter.

I would say I have Respect for Vladdy, but it sure isn’t love.

“The Secret American Subculture Of Putin-Worshippers”...

This "secret subculture" consists of a few comments made on a few message boards, and many of those comments were made in semi-jest. That is hardly a "subculture." Some of us were just surprised to hear Putin sounding more like the pope than the actual pope. It's kind of like libs dredging up a 50-year-old comment by William F. Buckley in support of their view on some current controversy; it's not as if they would actually have supported Buckley in real life.
