While Russian President Vladimir Putin is increasingly a pariah on the world stage, his approval rating in Russia has never been higher.

Maybe because he doesn’t hide behind a lying liar Press Secretary and act like he just heard about whatever from the nightly news like everyone else did. The other is that Putin has a pair of b@lls.
Ah tyranny.
RE: Maybe because he doesn’t hide behind a lying liar Press Secretary
You mean he just lies without having somebody doing it for him? Yep, got it.
Mayber the Russians would like a Stalin.
Seen him say so myself by golly. He usually uses his press secretaries, but he does lie himself for sure.
Putin lies just like Obama.
That’s a given. But I don’t think you’ll find a reference in any media where he purports to have the “most transparent administration in history.”
The point is really not Putin. He’s a communist and you can trust him to be devious and not tell the truth. It is all about Obama and the grand illusion he has perpetrated on THIS country from within.
No question about it, Putin is a commie thug. No question about it, Obama is a commie thug. The difference; generally, the Russians like and admire Putin.
Speaking of “Russins”. Rusev and Lana were on Monday Night RAW but didn’t do any talking.
Doesn’t really sound like he was a pariah or outcast at that recent BRICS conference where they set up their own money system...

Was that before or after the missile downed MH17?
I predict that America, too, will elect a "strongman" in the upcoming 2016 or next (2020) elections, begging him to deal with the problems the nation has. And deal with them he will-- by sharply curtailing Americans' freedom, and likely inciting a civil war, that will probably result in the breakoff of several present-day states into a separate country.
Agree somewhat but King Obama surpasses Putin by a huge margin. Never had a liar like King Obama in the world.
Okay, Putin has included a province populated by ethnic Russians. Putin is likely to support some pro-Russian separatists, who oppose Ukrainisation. Someone has probably shot down a plane with foreign civilians and the US and the EU are blaming Putin due to speculations and unreleased evidence in hands of the USA (while Americans are enemies to the Russian people as everybody knows). It’s very strange Russians appear to support Putin, isn’t it?
It also seems clear to me at least, despite all the noise, that the jury is not yet in on who shot that airplane down.
