Vladimir Putin appreciation thread

[alea_]

The USSR and Russia used to be among the most totallitarian systems during the Soviet Block Era.

Currently, commie US with it's neo-feudalistic tendencies and ruthless foreign politics and imperialistic tendencies is one of the most despotic and ruthless super-powers

Will Putin and Trump put an end to this abuse of power? Or was it all just pre-electoral bullshit talk on Trump's part?

People forget that Russia did a lot of heavy lifting as one of the Allied partners.

And who became some of the USA's largest trade partners after the war?

Germany. Japan. Italy.

Better Russian American relations could yield tremendous economic benefits to the first world and keep the little pissant terror states in check with a unified heavy stick.

Just a thought.

US-Russian relations will much improve after Russia re-annexes Georgia, Azerbaijan, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Moldova, and Belarus. And Poland. And Hungary. Hi there, Vlad! Ya want Alaska too? Take it, buddy, it's yours. Hey, you'll let us build Tromp Towers in Moscow and Minsk? Groovy!

Hungary being Re-Adnexed Russia?
I'm confused. When did that happen, other than the post-war divisions?
If we go by that logic, every country in Europe was adnexed either to Russia, or to the US('s sphere of influence).

Hungary has no other ties to Russia other than the fact that they're both independent thinking nations who are proud of their heritage and culture, and refuse to boot-lick to the US.

Well Lance, it seems we agree here.

If I were in a position to counsel Trump I would recommend that he started by stating that a regime change in Syria is no longer official US policy and offer to join with Russia in ridding the nation of ISIS, then help with the rebuilding.

It bothers me not at all that Assad is a dictator. When it comes to the middle-east it appears that dictatorship equals stability.

Further, there is no way in hell that Russia is going to give up her Syrian port privileges on the Med. anymore than they were going to give up the Crimea without a head to head confrontation with whoever wants to deny them that privilege.

The entire Libya/Syria/Egypt adventures of the outgoing administration were short sighted and patently ill advised.

Hungary being Re-Adnexed Russia?

Russian tanks rolling through Budapest in 1956 sure made the experience seem like annexation. I knew people who escaped from that.

A tangential story: I dropped out of high school, boogied around, then graduated from adult HS in San Francisco in 1970. Many of my classmates were immigrants. One Italian-born physics teacher was very Roman Catholic. He happened to ask the class about the status of Catholic priests in their home countries. Latin Americans gave the expected answers. Cambodians and Chinese said they hadn't seen many. The Hungarian guys said, "Oh, we have no priests. The Russians shot them all."

Putin is very anti-Zionism, so if Trump keeps his word to the voters and doesn't serve the Zionist scum like Obama did, the world might just have a chance with both the US and RF both working towards similar goals.

1.,2. I heard about that. And how they used to send any intellectual who harboured disident opinions to work in the mines or other harsh places.
On the other hand, most of my discussions involved Eastern Europeans who were born at least a decade later, and who remember a "softer" comunist era so to speak.

2.I see traces of that attitude here in this forum. The intolerance of Christianity or of anybody who's a practicing Christian or sees some of it's merits, alongside the bad is odd.
