We have a Putin fan club right here on FR. But I don't believe for a second that they seriously believe the guy has turned over a new leaf. Some of these nitwits I'm sure are being paid to boost his image.

The Kremlin’s Troll Army: Moscow is financing legions of pro-Russia Internet commenters
A June article by Max Seddon of BuzzFeed reported the Kremlin was spending millions of dollars to pay English-speaking Russians to promote President Vladimir Putin and his policies in U.S. media like Fox News broadcasting and The Huffington Post and Politico news sites. Trolls are reportedly expected to manage multiple fake accounts and post on news articles 50 times a day, often with sentiments as simplistic as “Putin makes Obama look stupid and weak!”

It’s an embarrassment on a US Conservative website to have know nothings who don’t understand our philosophy and embrace a corrupt, statist, self-serving foreign tyrant out of despair with our own clownish, corrupt, statist Obama. Oppose them both with principle and manliness. Don’t act like a fawning goober for a jerk and maniac like Putin.
