Saying you believe someone is a genius is a far cry from praise of someone. Whatever the feeling on Putin"s IQ level he still seems to be able to hold the loyalty of Russian citizens. End of March 83% of Russians approve. Our "leader" can only dream of numbers like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every country wants a strong leader, not all get one. Putin is admired because he is seen as tough. Many as in our country do not question the lies. Many believe this is about fighting the Nazi's, just as in our country many believe we are fighting mythical bad guys. All the while here and elsewhere the bad guys are getting stronger everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
