Is hating Putin / Russia now mandatory?

[Polishprince]

Can anyone come up with something they admire about Putin?

I like the way he stood up for Russia's Prostitute community a few years ago, pointing out the Russia's has the finest gals of easy virtue in the world. You don't see Biden standing up for America's Hoes.

He has a keen sense of history, focus, balls, and loves his Country.
A true nationalist.

Yes, he is kind of a badass. Putin is probably the best fighter who ran a nation, at least in the modern age. He is a black belt judoka.

He loves the money he is skimming.

They can shut their traps instead of trash talking the POTUS in a time of international crisis & bragging up a murderous thug like Putin.

Nice people you defend.

Not our problem.

Vladimir is also deeply religious. He even went through an Eastern Orthodox ritual of sitting in freezing water in front of a crucifix.

Putin's take is a pittance compared to what he's done economically for the Russian people. Their per capita income has gone from 12K to 27K under his watch. Why wouldn't the Ukrainians want to go back to Mother Russia when their income under Eurine-Union controlled leadership is only a fourth of that?

Given electoral history Putin has just handed Bidet the gift of improving his re-election chances. American voters don't change horsed in the midst of a war. Of course we'd have to survive the nuclear exchange first.

My opinion is that people should develop their political positions according to a set of values and ideals.

This forum is filled with ultra-conformists who don't. All they do is repeat the talking points provided them by their masters.

It is the Chinese who are the biggest threat to both us and the entire world, and so we should have been working all along to create a situation where Putin DOESN'T have China's backing. He wouldn't be invading Ukraine without it.

Can you be any more of a dupe?

Yes, he is kind of a badass. Putin is probably the best fighter who ran a nation, at least in the modern age. He is a black belt judoka.

He also takes the best shit.

No seriously, the sausages that this manly-man can power out of his bowels is just awesome and it definetly has big implications for his AUTOCRATIC, IMPERIALISTIC GOVERNING that is screwing Russians 7 days a week.

Putin is now a psycho war criminal.

How do you figure he's a "war criminal"? The UN hasn't even condemned him yet. Why isn't Sleepy Joe having him deported to the hague?

No way bro, how can a man that did some Sambo and horseriding be a phycho war criminal?

It's just not possible.

Why must you lie in your every fucking post?

UN condemns Russia as Putin orders troops over border | First Thing

US ambassador to UN says Putin’s claims about ‘peacekeeping’ operation are ‘nonsense’. Plus: how AI is tackling the biodiversity crisis

A spokesperson for the UN secretary general, António Guterres, said he “considers the decision of the Russian Federation to be a violation of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine and inconsistent with the principles of the Charter of the United Nations”.

......And didn't want a Nato country right on his border. Considering all the decades of hostility involved, his not wanting such seems entirely reasonable.

We also blew it with him in regards to Syria. Let's face it - there are only two possible forms of governance in these inbred Arab countries - a strong armed, and hopefully fairly secular ruler, or religious nut jobs. Obama went with the religious nut jobs and he might as well given a huge batch of fertilizer to kudzu, so predictable were the results.
