Democratic Government, Human Rights, and Transparency! :D

Okay, got that out of my system. No, there is nothing he cannot do. He even started learning how to speak English in the last couple of years. Now whoever gets Bond has no excuse not to cast him. Hell, make it one of those UK/Russia team up if you have to deflect criticism.
 
Putin is basically the only politician who openly says and acts out "I own this country,so I do WHATEVER the fuck I want."

That's all that matters, and that's what all this dear leader shit is about. Simply prepping the way.

I often look at Putin and think about Hitler pre-1939. Meanwhile gaf just thinks he's awesome because he does bullshit PR photo opps that are actually incredibly embarassing and cynical.

I'm pretty sure starting massive wars is not in Putin, or Russia's future.

Voice of reason.

All I see here is: "The great leader is putting out the fires! Don't worry!"
 
Meh, Russia. Just hope they won't become powerful enough to dominate the world. We can bitch about the USA all we want, but its leaders aren't all batshit insane.
 
The way I see it this isn't any different than all the BS that comes from Kim Jong Ill. What we need is a leader that clears brush on a ranch somewhere...then we'll show Putin for sure.

China will keep them in check, don't worry.

Dude is definitely a dictator in training, but I can't deny he does brilliant PR and seems like a genuine badass. I had figured he had just pissed on them to put them out.

Don't be crazy he finished training once he became prime minister.

He was President of Russia for 8 years before becoming Prime Minister. That and he was Prime Minister pre-Presidency as well. Nothing big there.
 
This guy gave the green light to the firing of ballistic missiles right into the middle of Grozny's central market because he wanted to take out some arms dealers The missile strikes took out around 100 civilians and injured up to 250, and hit a maternity hospital.
It was Putin that oversaw the second Chechen War, which killed something like 80 to 100 thousand Chechens and involved all kinds of horrible massacres and war crimes. The guy is war criminal and a bad motherfucker in the literal and figurative sense of the term.

China is as scary to me. People like Putin are the reason I'm glad humans are mortal. You can be the biggest, most powerful douchebag in the world, but guess what, you'll still die after 70-80 years. Douche!

There are countless other people who are extremely similar to Putin and use exactly the same methods like him. KGB and it's successor organizations are an infinite source of Putin-like people and since Russian intelligence basically controls the entire country, you can bet that current Russian politics is here to stay. Although I cannot explain why have they elected Medvedev as the president since he doesn't really fit into KGB agent description.

So the KGB agent style people can control him better? And it's better for international relations probably.

That's a possibility, although Medvedev has shown signs that point to him starting to confirm his position as a supreme leader of Russia, thus replacing Putin. He has been disagreeing with him on some key issues. On the other hand, two of them are maybe just acting and bursting in laughter somewhere while reading "Putin and Medvedev conflict?" headlines in the news.

Medvedev has recently said and done stuff that contradicts clearly with Putin's views though. He doesn't seem to be as much a puppet president as he used to.

If only our president would do such awesome stuff. Although I imagine it is pretty risky sitting in the copilots seat of a firefighting plane.

Not really. You just need one competent pilot.

I don't meant to be an anti-American but wasn't it Bush who invaded Iraq supposedly because Jesus told him? Or was it that he based some of his policy when it came to Palestine/Israel by what Jesus had told him? I maybe getting things confused. Either would certainly trump any crazy spouted by Chinese or Russian leaders in recent times.

Edit: Oh sorry I just realised you said "aren't all crazy", should have paid more attention :P
 
Just got to love leaders like this. They act like they care to get more popular when they could actually try to solve the problem and improve Russia's fire brigade system.

You've got me wrong. I'm not belittling his experience as President, but complimenting his tact in his process of becoming a dictator.
 
I always thought the Putin love was supposed to be ironic like the Chuck Norris meme from a few years ago. I didn't know people were being serious. :lol
