Putin has 90% popularity in Russia and growing respect world wide

In a country with no competitive elections, state monopoly on the TV and heavily regulated Internet, popularity ratings mean nothing. The ability to make off-the-teleprompter remarks also means nothing. This "popularity" thing is more accurately termed "cult of personality".

About the "respect world wide", yeah, possibly. See the main topic again: reaching for world sympathy by false-flag terrorism acts.

The main topic is did Putin put a soda can bomb behind a seat in a Russian passenger jet, killing 224 of its own citizens. Just to justify aiding its ally Syria in his fight against a minority of rebels wanting to take over Syria, butcher the Christians and enlist Syria into a caliphate.

I don't think so. It amazing such nonsense allegations even gets posted.
