The Vladimir Putin Discussion Thread

[kainedamo]

Just look at him! What a man!

He started off in the KGB. What a badass. As much as I politically disagree with what he has done recently, I can't help but admire the sheer style of which he pulled it off. He was the country's President, and when his term came to a finish, he had a puppet dude become the new President (Dmitry-something or other, who cares?) and basically appointed himself Prime Minister. By name he is not the man in charge, but we ALL know Vlad is the guy still pulling the strings. What a man.

Russia is basically a dictatorship trying to not look like a dictatorship. But Vlad isn't even all that subtle about it. What's he care? He's Vladimer ****ing Putin!!

If I lived in Russia, I'd be like "hail Lord Vlad!!!". Gladly.

Some occasional news reports, the odd Russian military plane flying in other countries' airspace, controversy with previous Russian nations breaking away, etc, lead me to believe there may be possible escalated friction in the future between Russia and the west. Has Vlad took it upon himself to be Russia's dictator in order to take some hard stances against the west, to drive Russia into the direction he thinks it ought to go?

Vladimir is so badass, he can spell his name correctly

 

[rdh007]

He's no Noah Bennett.

I want Jack Coleman running our CIA

 

[tzarinna]

He is rather sexy. :meow:

That's a James Bond villain. But seriously,I think Putin did a lot to bring Russia back from when the Soviet Union fell apart. Keeping his country together and putting fear in America and the west is what he does.

You know Putin is the kind of guy who could kill a man with his bare hands without breaking a sweat.

Other countries leaders shake in his manly shadow.

As much as I despise Putin for basically returning Russia to a dicatorship and having the George W. Bush mentality of thinking that he can do whatever the hell he wants, there is no denying it that this guy is one badass mutha' ****er. The mother ****er is even a black belt for crying out loud.

 

[Hobgoblin]

His grandfather was Stalin's cook, so I guess thats how he became such a hardass. True story. And yes, he could break a man just by thinking it.

He did this in broad daylight and no one said ONE WORD.

 

[Marx]

^I think I remember seeing something about that.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Politicians are horny.

 

[rdh007]

^That Clinton and Lewinsky are scary. Also, the reason I supported anyone but Hillary this primary. I couldn't take another 4-8 years of Bill and Monica.

He is the Samuel L. Jackson of dictators.

That child looks terrified. His eyes are just screaming, "Please do not eat my intestines."

Politicians are horny.

That cracks me up to this day. Angela Merkel just looks so annoyed.

I'm just amazed he thought giving a fellow head of state a shoulder massage was a good idea.

...


Wait, no I'm not.

I would've been amazed if it happened in 2001 or 2002. By 2006 nothing that man did could suprise me.

You bring up a very valid point Demo...

As Bush boards Air Force One for the last time he is going to flash everyone.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Yeah, I just wonder what his big finish will be. He is probably thinking that his public is looking for a coup de grace. Or however the hell its spelled.

Anyway, back on topic.

Putin having a black belt? ****. We're doomed.

 

[Matt]

I am skired that Jack Bauer is going to go after Vladimir Putin. If those two clash I am fairly positive that the world would in fact implode.
