Vladamir Putin - Presidency Thread - nothing is better than butter

RIGOLO

Seems about time a great leader, an eloquent statesman, a major figure of the 20th and 21st century, one of the most erudite and intelligent figure on the world stage should have his own thread.

I have to say Im developing a real respect for him.
The man speaks alot of sense and is refreshing to hear him speak in real terms on real issues.
Keep in mind is Russia a product of Putin or is Putin a product of Russia. But I have to admire his ability to keep some kind of unity among 140 million people with varying ethnic, geographic , language backgrounds, managing a country that borders the west and east , with a past full of unstable regimes.. its no mean feat.

Dont be believing all that fake news main stream media b.s. that is being shoved down your eyeballs by Western media.

Couple of great videos to get you started .

One is a recent 3 hour live phone in he did with the Russian people, 3 hours in a studio taking calls and questions from citizens on everything from the price of bananas to Ukraine and Crimea , questions on vaccines, lockdowns, chickens, sheep, eggs, construction materials, business loans, defences, security , phone scammers, British navy , gas pipelines supplies, unemployment payments, Selling apartments ... you name it whatever the people wanted to ask.

Impressive stuff, Ive never seen a Western leader give an ordinary citizen the time of day.
.

As they used say in the old Soviet Union days when they had 2 state run newspapers PRAVDA (The Truth) and IZVESTIA (The News) ... there's no truth in the news and thers's no news in the truth ...
Putin rocks and easily dispenses with the prevarications of western media amateur journalists. No notes, no cheat sheets, the man talks off the cuff on a broad range of subjects , and he also has some great one liners.

Watch , listen and learn.

Putin holds 3 hour direct line phone in with Russian citizens . An anual occurence. Very insightful on Putin but also the Russian state and daily life there.

Putin - 1 hour interview with the Financial Times

Recent 1 hour NBC interview with Putin .

It's a sham ,it's easy to maintain control when anyone speaks up ends up in prison on corruption charges or dead especially journalists ,
Raising inflation and unemployment won't end well

gral6

Putin belongs to prison

Putin is hated by the west not because he’s a dictator (he isn’t anyway), the west makes alliances with dictators. Nor because he is anti LGBT, the west has alliances with Saudi, which has the death penalty for homosexuality.

It’s mainly because he started to fight back in Syria.

They scripted 3 whole hours of pre approved and pre written questions wow such sincerity

How would you know , unless you watched all 3 hours , in less than 25 minutes.

For those who arent bringing a bias to the table.

At one point there is a lady who 'facetimes ' in with a question.

She is live from inside a shop and she shows Putin the price of bananas from Ecuador , next to the more expensive carrots from Russia.. and she asks her President how this is so.

Hardly seems pre-approved and pre-written.

like I said Dont be believing all that fake news main stream media b.s. that is being shoved down your eyeballs by Western media and that is regurgitated by the western media acolytes who are un-informed but still spout off.

Yes. That's the point of Russian propaganda. It's supposed to make you feel like that. You probably caught it off MAGA twitter in much the same way that one can catch cholera from rivers of shít.

I'd recommend peeling yourself away from it for a bit, take two paracetamol and get a good night's sleep.

The reaction is indicative of how deep western propaganda has infected peoples critical thinking.

Putin is having live stream chats with citizens who are showing him plumbing problems, dirty water, high prices in the shops , showing him peeling paint in their schools... and the sheeple here say its all pre-scripted and staged.

The bias runs deep.. PDS.. Putin Derangement Syndrome.

RT is a pretty good station, for example, it was the only news station that had a regular economic chat show that forecast the 2008 economic crash. RT among other places was where I had my views on the world economy circa 2008 confirmed.
You see if you didnt have your Western bias indoctrination , and had listened to other voices, who knows you might have ridden out the 2008 crash smoothly.

Has anyone who is moaning about Putin , actually watched any of the videos , and care to take up any of the points Putin covered in the videos... thought not.

Muahahaha

Just the 21 journalists murdered in Putins Russia But sure he knows the price of bananas, isnt he just great :rolleyes:

This post above should serve as a warning to any young people who think that they're being clever by using RT as a way to get "both sides". It's just more shíte and overdoing it can lead to posts like the above - completely devoid of reality, self-reflection or irony.

RT - Not even once.

You see thats what your dealing with nowadays.
A poster feels qualified to judge the qualty of RT television station and has not even watched it once. You see , peoples critical thinking is at an all time low.
Given a chance to open their mind , given a chance to see and an insight into Russian daily life, they reject it , and yet comment on it .
I blame the universitys among other things.

Al Jazeera is another great news channel , shame it doesnt get the credit it deserves. I dis-agree with alot of their content and their position on some middle-east issues, but I still watch it regularly. Damn they have made some of the finest documentaries Ive ever seen on TV.

You see , go outside your little circle jerk normal environment, open your mind to some new ideas and voices. Its refreshing.

There is a funny moment in the 3 hour live call in with Putin. All the IT systems crash , theres a DDOS attack and they have to reboot everything.

At the first signs of dissenting views you’ve given up on your appeal from your OP and are now just telling the skeptics you were hoping to have a dialog with to all **** off as wannabe elitists.

still commenting on videos you havent watched...... true derangmeent syndrome

the ultimate in elitist condescending attitude.

too profound in their own mind to watch some videos about Russian daily life, all becasue it offends their sensitivity about what TV they demand the rest of us should watch.

Next they will be telling us what books to read .. oh hang thats already started.

You gotta love the part in this video where Megyn Kelly is questioning Putin where she asks him about intelligience reports on Russia. She sets herself up as asking a really cutting question about a report..
He looks her in the eye and asks "have you read the report "
...crickets... course she hasnt she is a typical western journo, too lazy to do the research , but think they are clever.

This one is 2 and half hour long. Megyn Kelly went to St Petersburg to moderate a economic summit.

It was very interesting....great to hear another perspective on the stories making our headlines

now cue all the comments from all the people who havent watched it....

Do I agree with everything Putin does or say.. course not .. but the least people should do is listen and maybe learn something.

He had a great idea for solving the housing problem, during that 3 hour phone in. If you were selling your house and had lived in it for less than 5 years then you would be exempt from income tax for 1 year, they idea being in a rising market if your trying to chase the gains you should not be punished. A very interesting idea.

Now , time to go visit my local Russian restauraunt. I imagine some of you are shocked and would be afraid to eat Russian food in case you were brain washed...

crooked cockney villain

I wonder how popular he really is. He does seem to have steadied the ship.

Like, in the countries our media regularly covers, does anybody actually love the leadership or is it a case of best of a bad bunch?

Point of order- the three videos in the OP total five hours of footage. And since then another one posted this time its two and half hours. So now the OP expects people to watch 7.5 hours of footage and if they dont do it then that can only mean that we all have closed minds and therefore he is right.

Seeing as the OP watches RT so much and is claiming it to be a trusted source of his I would be interested to see him posting lots of videos of their coverage of the 21 Russian journalists who have been murdered in Putins Russia. Can you rise to the challenge OP? If your Russia Today source is so trustworthy and isnt just a propaganda channel you'll have no problems finding their coverage for every single one of those journalists

Ahh I can see I am dealing with the new generation of "there is a prize for everyone " .

Obviously many of the recent comments are from the type who want to be awarded the 1st Class Honours degree but dont want to put the work in.
It seems you are of the generation who wants the top marks but dont want to do the study.

So still no commentary on the content of the video, after all how could there , many of the 'dolts' here who are commenting havent even watched them .

In fact its now become my fault, because the videos are long.
Sort of like its the teachers fault because the questions were hard.... 'safespace' anyone ?

Again it would seem it all comes back to the universities and our failing education system.
We dont have any critical thinking in the masses these days. How could we, sure most posters here are afraid to watch a news channel like RT in case theres some electro magnetic subliminal messages that will give them a craving for 'borscht' .

I guess your all in favour of NordStreamII which some would claim is lining Putins and his mates pockets ... quick off ye run to wikipedia to educate yourselfs.

Im so glad I lived thru a time when one could try out all the societies in college and get a broad view on life. The days when you could go to a 'Spear Of Destiny' meeting upstairs in the pub, then go down stairs in the same pub and go drinking with the communists, before everyone went on to a disco to shift the hippie and the goth chicks.

I like this quote about Putin, "If Putin asks you a question, he already knows the answer to it "
