Without mentioning anyone in particular, it amazes me how any normal person could admire Putin. His incompetence has crippled the Russian economy and political system. He incompetently left a bunch of idiots in charge of weapons capable of bringing down commercial jets and now his government's explanations sound like they are being designed by an incompetent high school student. So, what is it that some folks admire? Or, are we just dealing with a bunch of middle-aged queers who get the hots because Putin takes off his shirt for them?
It's a real mystery. Putin's a joke.
I think most of them are on the FSB/GRU payroll and get paid by the post. And judging by the way that some of them express themselves and their grammar, it’s not hard to see that their native tongue is Russian.
