Putin is a wily politician. The reason he's outlasted FOUR presidents is he knows how to play the game.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an interview broadcast on Wednesday that he preferred Joe Biden to Donald Trump but was willing to work with any U.S. president.
Putin was asked by interviewer Pavel Zarubin who was "better for us" out of Biden, a Democrat, and Trump, a Republican.
Putin replied: "Biden. He is a more experienced, predictable person, a politician of the old school. But we will work with any U.S. president who the American people have confidence in.”

“Just look at the tremendous increase in wealth, prestige and military might the Russians have accomplished since the Globohomo disaster on the Dnieper began.”
You can’t be serious. Well, that is unless you are a Peeper.
The Russian navy in the Black Sea is certainly not prestigious. Neither is the Russian military in general in its war against Ukraine. And, Russia is so economically sound it has to import eggs and beg weaponry from that bastion of freedom, North Korea. If Russia is so wonderful, why is it that its only allies are communist dictatorships, islamic dictatorships, or struggling basket cases?
Yes, Trump can be unpredictable, among other issues, and with a high crew turn over rate, but predictably sails the US overall to starboard, despite a largely lethargic GOP crew, versus sailing a USS Woke hard to port towards shipwreck, with a aggressive pro-fornication, pro-abortion, anti-Christ crew that envisions Sodom as its destination.
Biden gave Putin the green light to invade. He even sent CIA Burns to Moscow to reassure Putin the U.S. and NATO would not get involved.
Who do neocons hate more Putin or Trump! Putin is betting its him and covertly helping Trump.
There is no excuse for Zeepers not rally around Trump as well. Get on board the Trump Train, Marcus! And, we can all celebrate together when Trump cuts off funding for the war in Ukraine!
Biden basically triple dog dared Putin to invade. Even Zelenskyy was telling Biden to STFU.
Putin is a wily politician. The reason he's outlasted FOUR presidents is he knows how to play the game.
Remember when Obama said to Romney, “The 1980s called, they want their foreign policy back”.
Trump has promised to cutoff funding for Ukraine. And, no politician I’ve voted for keeps his promises like Trump.
The typical neocon "guilt trip" BS that they consistently use against anyone who gainsays them their buckets of other peoples' blood.
Just look at you - again all giddy with excitement over other people dying so the MIC can make a buck.
FVP !
I don’t give a ____ about who Putrid prefers.
The bottom line in all this - what are the ACTUAL number of Ukrainian dead and wounded?
It doesn't matter what the Russian dead and wounded are, because the Russians will endeavour to persevere, because that's just what they do.
The situation is an existential threat to their country.
If the West is lying about the Ukie casualties, then that's a REAL big deal.
The Putin puffers on FR must be wetting themselves now that they have to somehow slobber all over someone who endorses the opposition.
The Russian Navy is their submarine force. The Russian submarine force is the most destructive one in the world. This new technology makes EVERY ship in EVERY navy vulnerable. With the approaching obsolescence of surface warships (see total failure of gunboat diplomacy in Yemen), which trillion dollar navy will be most affected? The Russians don’t spend a trillion a year projecting their power nor do the Chinese. They don’t need to. They aren’t the world’s imperialist policeman. 3.5% growth in 2023 while actually running a surplus. The sanctions? The best thing that’s happened to Russia since Peter the Great. Russians own Africa. Notice how French and other imperialists have gotten the bums rush off the continent while the Russians fill the void. The entirety of Global South is now firmly in the Russian/Chinese sphere. How many Arabs and Muslims? Putin’s actions make him the hero of all traditional societies seeking protection from globohomo hegemony. Notice those UN votes recently? Regardless of what’s happening or what we think. 95% of the world is against us and they believe we are financing genocide in Gaza and are reacting accordingly. BRICS, ever hear of Burgeoning BRICS?
Oh yeah, also in the process of kicking NATO’s ass in Ukraine.
Now another member of the Hunka Brigade from our northern neighbor is mad at you! 
Maybe you can do propaganda on Democrat Underground now instead of FR.
You have a weird Russia fetish that makes you spew totally ridiculous "facts".
I guess if you keep going North, Canada can be considered your northern neighbor.
Meanwhile, the Ukie trolls on FR are har-harring about the Russian Black Sea fleet like it's some "special case".
My family is Navy - but I wouldn't recommend shipping out on anything of ours these days.
