Hmm. Are you saying that most Russians want to annex the lost Soviet states? I'm not sure of the popularity that Putin enjoys in Russia?... I've read that quite a few Russians are actually opposed to what's going on with his cronyism. We do know that the Russian media is again being controlled by the Kremlin, and that's a result of Putin.
Btw, agree with you also, as to Ronaldo Magnus Reagan. He was a good man and president. :-)

Did I say that? I don't seem to be able to find it.

That's close to what I asked you.

According to Russian sources, Putin's popularity is about 80% at the moment, and over 60% would vote for him for President, tomorrow.

We do know that the Russian media is again being controlled by the Kremlin, and that's a result of Putin.

We do also know that the Western MSM is being controlled by the leftist Progressive DemoRats, and has been for a half century, and that they cover for leftists, hate Putin, and that's a result of willing cooperation with Socialists. Don't give me this crap that Western Media is not as much propaganda against Putin as Russian Media is for Putin.

Putin's overall popularity in Russia far exceeds Obama's overall popularity in America.

Indeed, Russia was an Empire but it works in a different way than any other known Empire which is usually about to make a metropolis profit off it’s colonies. Russian Empire was always about security and buffer zones. They haven’t earned a dime from their colonies but actually spent a lot to keep them. I guess average Ivan is doing much better now, as far as he is not supporting welfare state in East Germany, Vietnam and Ukraine.
