>>Putin is extremely popular LMAO... Kim Jung ill even more "popular" So why don't you move there if everyone is so happy with the "leadership" of a tyrant? In Putin’s Russia, The Neo-Stalinist Tipping Point Putin’s appointment of a Stalin-apologist ideologue as education minister is, for many intellectuals, the last straw. MOSCOW — For the first time in his adult life, Russian author and journalist Arkady Babchenko is planning to escape from his Moscow life, to take his family away from his home country to Europe. Babchenko has been one of the sharpest, most irrepressible critics of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s politics. In 2012, prosecutors opened a criminal investigation over one of his articles, but Babchenko was not one to be intimidated. He is a journalist veteran of two Chechen wars. So it is not a threat to his own life that is pushing him out of his country today. Babchenko is terrified about the future of his 9-year-old daughter, his only child, if she stays in Russia. “In two to three years, Russia is going to be like Iraq under Saddam Hussein,” Babchenko told The Daily Beast. “It will be full of miserable people, of children receiving poor education, facing street violence, and police at checkpoints—not a good place for my daughter,” the writer said. A few months ago Babchenko was upset to see his daughter, a 3rd grader at a Moscow school, marching in a semi-military uniform and singing patriotic songs at a school event. “We see examples of obscurantism all over the place: Communists running around with Stalin flags, Orthodox priests attending state events; but I still did not expect the appointment of an Orthodox fanatic and a Stalinist as the minister of education and science.” During a recent visit to Crimea, President Putin named Olga Vasilyeva to the post. She seemed to be a deeply religious bureaucrat who devoted her academic research to the patriotic role of the Russian Orthodox Church in Soviet times. Vasilyeva is also known for defending the record of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator notorious for executing political dissidents, including hundreds of thousands of Orthodox believers. (According to an analysis by Prof. Nikolai Yemelyanov at the Russian Academy of Science, Soviet security agencies killed as many as 500,000 Orthodox Christians.) The shadow of new repression is the reason many Russian professionals are leaving the country today. The new trend inspired by the Kremlin is to label its critics “russophobes.” But even inside the government officials are at odds about the glorification of tyrants in the name of patriotism. continued thedailybeast.com

Mq, Your post was good for a laugh, but not much else. You love Putin's kleptocracy and you want the same for Crimea and all of Ukraine. Hell, you probably want Putin's dictatorial thumb over the Baltic states after he finishes with Ukraine. You'll probably see the world as a better place when Putin regains control over the oil and gas lines to Europe. This should make it easier for BT to make more deals with Rosneft which will eventually weaken European security. I suppose it could help your pension, assuming Putin isn't assassinated by one of his business partners first. Putin did not invade Ukraine and seize Crimea. You continue to fulfill the roll of useful idiot. They were coming under attack by the Evil Kievans at the instigation of the Horrific House of Harpies. You mean the citizens of Kiev protested and died to remove a corrupt crony of Putin's, Viktor Vanukovych? I've noticed for a long time how much you hate women in power who don't hold your political views. So, now you call them harpies to avoid dealing with any political or moral arguments. This is the same type dismissal you have for the LLLs. Name calling is all you really ever had. Trump says live and let live. Putin's looking after his country and is extremely popular. Trumps says 11 million illegal immigrants are "gone" when he holds office. Per usual, you don't know what you're talking about. Words run out of your rear just as easily out your mouth, or into cyberspace. Putin is looking after himself; his country can to go hell. Putin acquired about $40 billion starting from his time in Saint Petersburg until now. Trump wants to try something similar.

Hillary's penis envy is much more dangerous than any pathology Trump may exhibit. She displays her penis envy through rash machismo: " we came, we saw, he died." And so did thousands more who did not need to die, including an Ambassador whose death she hypocritically and falsely blamed on a movie. She's deeply pathological. Everything she touches, she screws up. A political Typhoid Mary with an itchy trigger. She's very, very scary.
