I don't know. It kind of SOUNDS like something Putin would say.

[Red Badger]

There’s something about that guy I just like...................

[onedoug]

Was it ever thus?

[Iron Munro]

Can’t shoot the messenger for telling the truth.

[txhurl]

Supposedly he is a voracious student of American politics so he would know he’s only addressing half of us.

.....2014 is coming, “hint, hint”.

Oh, and by the way, you Americans might be interested to know that Christians are much better off in pro-Russia Syria than in post-American Iraq. That’s right: In Syria, Christians are part of the governing coalition; they are safe as long as Assad stays in power. By contrast, in Iraq, after the Americans came and went, having wrecked the place in between, the Christians are abandoned and vulnerable. Today, the US doesn’t seem to know or care that Christians are being targeted in Iraq—37 Christians killed on Christmas Day. Gee, I wonder why Barack Hussein Obama is so disinterested. Actually, I don't wonder at all.

Hmmmmmm. I don't find either condition very comforting.

Sounds like Putin is a Tea Partier?

Pray America is Waking

[concerned about politics]

Yes, I mean you, the people of the United States, where an elite of non-democratic dictators trickles its immorality—and incompetence—down upon the masses.

The U.S. and the old Soviet Union are trading places. Russia is becoming moral/ accountable and getting stronger. America is being sucked into the liberal vortex of perversion/ignorance and becoming weaker by the day.

Putin may not be the perfect leader, but he seems to have learned from Russia's mistakes. Our politicians just blame it on everyone else and screw up even more.

[TexasCajun]

Nice abs Vlad! ...thanks for saving my bacon on that Syria thing.

[SevenofNine]

When Bob Costra come for Olympics can you arrest him at airport send his butt to Gulgug in Siberia

Do they have still the gulgug in Siberia????

I have taken note of America’s staggering geopolitical incompetence, and mocked the messianic pretensions of your media-anointed President Obama. And I chuckle when I think about how long it took for Americans to notice his obvious ineptitude.

What's he talking about? Most obama voters STILL haven't noticed his obvious ineptitude.

[greene66]

Putin sees America swirling downward into decay and decadence, and eventual oblivion, and is taking steps to ensure his country survives and prospers. Can’t help but admire him for this.

It really is a mind-boggling reversal of the Cold War days, with America embracing deviancy and evil, while Russia goes in the opposite direction. A surreal irony, if America indeed becomes a force for darkness in the world, while Russia becomes the light. But with each new day presenting incidents like childrens’ Christmas cards being banned from VA-hospital patients, and fag-marriages being celebrated on Rose Bowl floats, it’s no longer a far-fetched premise.

[BradyLS]

That was hilarious! I had to laugh to keep from crying!

For example, let’s look at the way the debate over homosexual marriage has played out over the past few years in the USA. The American people were confronted with the issue of homosexual marriage, debated it, and then voted against it in the tens of millions; dozens of US states passed specific laws to ban homosexual marriage. So then what happened? I’ll tell you what happened: Unelected judges simply overrode the will of the people—and legalized such marriage in much of the country, including the largest state, California. In other words, the judges acted as dictators to overturn not only the laws of America, but also the law of God; these are spelled out clearly in both the Bible and in the Christian tradition.

Whoever wrote this hit the nail on the head here. And it's about to get much worse. How many Federal Judiciary vacancies can obama fill before the next Congress sits wthout a filibuster?

[lafarge]

Love this guy. We will be so easy to conquer.

[Cyber Liberty]

OK Vlad. We get it. Hey, next time we need somebody to show our leader has, in fact, no penis we’ll give you another call, K? Ya done good last time. But it would be nice if you could make a New Year’s Resolution to stop knocking people off with Polonium? Thanks in advance.

[DouglasKC]

Well hmmm...i never thought I would be saying that our government is more leftist by far than Russia. Never.

[Hiddigeigei]

Is this really Putin, or something someone wishes he had said. I can’t find any Russian source for this New Year’s statement to the United States. It’s not referenced in http://english.pravda.ru/

[unlearner]

Brilliant. He mistakenly calls liberals libertarians, but otherwise he has a lot of wisdom.

Ironically, it may require an alliance of conservatives here with China and Russia to save us from American socialists and communists.

The whole world has a stake in the welfare of our nation. Our self-destruction damages and endangers the world.
