    He has to be one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known, not just a stuffed suit like his wooden American counterpart. His steadfast resolve in the face of a proxy war being waged in Ukraine has to be admired, a war that would never have happened if billions weren't poured into Ukraine to kickstart a coup.

    Like him or loathe him there is no doubt that Vladimir Putin is a very shrewd operator who is consistently one step ahead of the game.

    Best leader they've had since Joe Stalin. A brand I trust. Appointed by a drunk. A thief supreme. A murderer of journalists.
    Little known fact: he actually body doubles for rats in several b-list horror movies.

    He can eat 6 double cheeseburgers in McDonald's without taking a drink . If that doesn't deserve appreciation I don't know what does

    I like him because if ISIS made inroads into Europe he'd crush every last one of them.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,133 ✭✭✭FloatingVoter


    He has sired several winning racehorses and has the pictures to prove it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    Only last week he murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalised a brick! he's so mean he makes medicine sick! :pac:

    He's a bollocks though, tbh.

    He reclaimed oil and gas from greedy foreigners back into the state hands, where resources for every country should be. How he did it was more cunning than a fox, but he did it.

    You know there is an islamic insurgency going on in russia since the last 10 years or so right? Thousands dead not even including all those slaughtered during the 'crushing' of the Ichkerian republic.. I don't think most people have a clue what goes on in russia tbh

    Putin the Vlad back in Russia. Some say he doesn't wear shoes, and that his left leg can bench 200kg.

    It was EXACTLY that type of thinking that led to the likes of Hitler and Mussolini becoming so loved

    He is a vile excuse for a human being.

    A world leader who actually backs up his talk with actions. It's no wonder he's so popular in Russia.

    You mean:
    - Changing the constitution to increase presidential term by 50%
    - Changing the constitution to remove term limits.
    - the wholesale theft of the last presidential & parliamentary elections leading to massive protests.
    - the subsequent subjugation of opposition & free media to ensure such dissent nover reoccurs.
    - effectively president for life.

    Robert Mugabe heads a democratic nation too.... apparently!

    He was working as waiter in a cocktail bar when I met him

    A "world leader" of some "Stalin style" still dreaming of the "resurection of the gone USSR". One should not forget about his background (ex-KGB agent) which explains a lot.

    Popular in Russia? Certainly among those who are his followers, those who oppose him and his policies aren´t among the "lucky ones".

    I neither appreciate him nor his policies. In all I find him being a dangerous man in power of a "former" super power.

    He was good in Casino Royale


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,106 ✭✭✭pcardin


    he looks like chihuahua, sized as chihuahua, as angry and complex as chihuahua.
    One day he will be hanged for war crimes the same way as Germans were. :pac::D
