Please people, lets get something straight. Putin was the head of the KGB. In the end, no matter what he says, he is not our friend. Let’s also keep in mind that for 70 years the official state religion of Russia was atheism. This guy is not the defender of the faith. He is a master of positioning himself. That is all.
While we may agree with him on his traditional values preaching and against gay marriage. We certainly disagree with his oppressing any peoples rights or persecuting them such as gays. The only thing I will compliment Putin on is that he is more of a man than our metrosexual President. Sad day indeed....
He was never the head of the KGB. He was an officer.
Bush #1 was head of the CIA.
Putin looks out for the best interests of Russia, the country he is leading.
That is more than what we can say about our president who is NOT looking out for the best interests of the US.
Does this help make it clear why some of us have a net positive view of him?
“persecuting them such as gays. “
He is NOT persecuting gays. You really need to get some correct information, instead of the MSM propaganda.
The only thing he did, he made it illegal for push gay propaganda on those 18 years or younger. Do you have a problem with that?
He did NOT ban gay lifestyle.
