Politicians will practice a new discipline of winter sports: "slalom around Putin".

Putin does not have a beard because facial hair is terrified him but under his non-existent beard is Chuck Norris fist and under that fist awaits a Siberian Tiger ready to pounce what is under the tiger is unknown at this point and time because no one has lived beyond that point.

I can see it now, Putin, shirtless, with aides spraying water on him so he is glistening. Alot of lens flare to hide his age wrinkles, extreme Russian photoshopping skills to hide the world of hurt on that ancient old body.


I LOL at his attempt to be Stalinesque/ Cult of Personality.

What a joke. Just launch a nuke, it is his only man outlet at this point. (I call a 4 inch erection at best, this guy got a Napoleon complex)

His cult of personality seems to be working well in Russia.

Yeah Stealhead.

The people seem to like him, and that is ok with me.

He don't seem like a terrible man, and has done well for his country. So let it be.

I was just making satire. I am a comedian by nature.

I beg to differ Russia lacks the freedom of press that you see in the west so expressing your opinion is at best questioned and at worst can get you in jail.So some Russians like him because they are not aware of the truth others like him because they benefit from him being in power.

The gap between the rich and poor is massive in Russia much more so than in the west.Bottom line is that most Russians are too busy just making it day to day to really have the time to contemplate how good or bad Putin may or may not be.

The Russian government is quite skilled in propaganda so much so that they put the time and effort to have an entire network that focuses on Americans that dislike their government(Russia Today).

Of course we sit here and talk about Putin when our country is far from perfect.

The media input on Russia, Russian society and Putin over the years gave me the strong impression that the majority of Russians is even more authoritarian and Stalinesque than Putin himself. Seen that way, he possibly is a lesser evil. And the weakning of the West, Europe and America alike, is achieved by the West all by itself. Putin, China, Iran just accept the generous invitation to push for more.

Never thought about that and as is said "Every nation has the government it deserves."

Is that kind of comment really necessary? Making fun of a politician you don't like seems to be part of the game everybody plays, but sexual comments, female or male, are of no use at all.
