They even tried to "prove" that he and his military shot down a passenger airliner and can't provide a smidgen of proof. They slap illegal sanctions on Russia without any explanation and still Vladimir Putin, as cool as an Arctic cucumber, absorbs the blows. Sets up a new bank with the Chinese, creates the new Silk Road and again being cool doesn't lose his rag.....he just cuts off gas to Ukraine. It's a beautiful thing.

He said that if the plane developed mechanical trouble, ditched in the sea, or had to crash, there could have been serious environmental implications. “The idea of carrying such weapons through a busy airspace beggars belief. If there was a psychotic episode onboard and the weapon was detonated it would send out a massive electromagnetic pulse before the mushroom cloud which would destroy onboard communications systems on potentially dozens of passing commercial aircraft,” Dr Clonan said. “These planes would be disabled in mid-flight and could potentially lead to the loss of countless lives.” I seen those movies too !

He ain't that. The misrepresentation of him doesn't absolve him. It's crazy doublethink just because of being anti U.S. (I know not everyone who's highlighting the western media's misrepresentation is also saying Putin's a decent soul by the way).

B_Wayne wrote: » Well, in between you calling everyone 'bitches'. The political opposition has been assassinated in Moscow. Nemtsov voiced concern in past few days that Putin would attempt to have him assassinated. Hits such as this generally require government approval for them to go forward. And it's most definitely a hit. But your big concern is calling those who criticise Putin out as 'bitches' and 'lame'. You have not got a leg to stand on.....

The guy, no matter, what rubbish is slung at him regarding "threatening his neighbours" is aware that people like you have been told that he's a tyrant. Why not go to Russia? Why not actually sit between arguments rather than blindly suck the crap that's spat out by Bill O'Reilly or the spinmeisters from the pentagon and Cameron's lickspittles? What we have here is America trying to paint whoever rules Russia into another bogeyman. The reasons? He subjugates gays.....laughable if it were true yet not a peep when Saudi Arabia stones queers to death...not a peep. Putin wants to reisntitute the former Soviet Union....yet he was instrumental when assistant to the mayor of Leningrad in smashing a plot to sabotage the unravelling of the USSR. If he was such as Bolshevik then wouldn't he have joined forces with the august 1991 coup?

I know some such young lads. Lovely fellas but completely naive. Also homophobes and some far-right types (not pro American) are gonna adore him, and people with blind hatred of anything U.S. at all. As long as rational people aren't fooled though, that's the important thing.

It highlights the largescale propaganda while idiots in this topic pretend to be an expert upon Putin, the guy who is largely accepted to be causing more damage to Russia than good. But seriously, to all those defenders of Russia, you're just behaving as a cog for Russian propaganda while dissenting voices are jailed or murdered in Russia.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/russia/11441780/Boris-Nemtsov-Final-interview-given-by-Putin-critic-just-hours-before-his-murder-in-full.html

So long as ISIS are doing their massacring outside of Russia, Putin could care less.
