By now, a reasonable person would realize that it isn't a man crush, but simply an understanding on my part that Putin is dealing with the same globalists and tyrants that are terrorizing us in this hemisphere. It is sad that we don't have more leaders in The West that are willing to stand up to them.I didn't think he was calling me a traitor, just wasn't sure who he was referring too. While I can't understand your man-crush on Putin (it's baffling to me) I in no way consider you a traitor. Far from it actually.

Is there corruption? Likely. I've said before Putin is no better or worse than most other world leaders if you remove the Western/US spin and fearmongering. However, the tyrants over here are not pro-family or trying to maintain the native culture and religion. The tyrants here are not putting the best interests of this country first the same way Putin is. The Western media and globalist love to paint any leader that goes against Western ambitions as a terrorist or tyrant, when in fact, the biggest bullies on the block are right here on our side.But Putin is the same as the globalist tyrants we're dealing with in this hemisphere. He's raping his country and citizens the same way they're raping us.

Russia is an extremely socially conservative country, more so than the United States and way more so than Europe. Who knows what the man actually believes - he espouses that stuff because it is a political winner. If you think he gives two s**ts about his people, or cares more about them than our leaders to, then I dunno what to tell you. Anything you say about our leaders could be said about him.Is there corruption? Likely.

I think Putin has been intentionally demonized and mischaracterized by The West. I think opinions about him are formed based on those mischaracterizations and exaggerations.Russia is an extremely socially conservative country, more so than the United States and way more so than Europe.

I hate to break it to you, but there is way more of an appetite in the US and Europe than Russia for the woke stuff. That's why our politicians play to it. We're different culturally than Russia. If you think Russia's culture is better, perhaps you should move there.
If by "demonized" you mean that Western media covers the dynamic between the West and Putin in overly simplistic, good vs. evil terms, then I agree.I think Putin has been intentionally demonized and mischaracterized by The West.

I can't trust anything this govt or media tells me about anything. That may be the reason why I'm willing to not believe the fearmongering that they pump out about Putin, Viktor Orban, Assad, Trump, etc...If by "demonized" you mean that Western media covers the dynamic between the West and Putin in overly simplistic, good vs. evil terms, then I agree.
If by "demonized" you mean he isn't as corrupt, authoritarian, etc., as he's made out to be, then I disagree.
IMO, the spin in US media comes when they cover our intentions/actions as being more innocent, blameless, and benign than they actually are, as opposed to making Putin look worse than he actually is.
btw, they also interfered in the US election, and we are taking it the **** back baby. America is better then THAT. Obama warned us.
March 2014Here's what Obama said: "Russia is a regional power that is threatening some of its immediate neighbors -- not out of strength but out of weakness."
“The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.”
–President Obama, during the third presidential debate, Oct. 22, 2012
