hard to say about Putin, he is not a bad guy. There is just what Russia needs v US needs.

Economically Russia is upside down, Russian business man Traver to US to buy stuff here. They don't try to sell Russian made stuff abroad, they don't really make anything.

Russian is nationalistic, Russia is called after a people that are called Russians, so their laws are right for their national interests. We are a meting pot, we do not have nationalistic interests like that.

But to the OP, sub cultures that go Russia become Russian and not weird foreigners, assimilation, like the Borg.

America has turned into a police state... You don't believe me?

Would a free republic ban free speech? Would a free republic take away citizen's rights? Would a free republic force it's mandates on it's citizens? Would a free republic tell it's citizens to report their neighbors to authorities if they suspect something suspicious?

Would a free republic allow illegal aliens to infiltrate and undermine itself?
You're bytching about becoming a police state, while making a thread expressing your love and devotion to the former head of the KGB?

Damn dude...unreal.

So far what this thread has shown is just how brainwashed America has become, nothing more than one viewpoint ridiculing the other viewpoint...

Blinders are on, closed-minded...

Could you take off your progressive liberal sunglasses just for a moment and show me exactly where I showed my love and devotion?

I said this:
Quote:
I am not a communist nor a red sympathizer but I do admire Russia's President for his patriotism.
I suggest you go back to grade school to learn how to read, understand and comprehend what's written in the English language because as it stands now it's obvious you don't...

Um no, it's not concerning the OP, it's concerning that fascist, selfish, sorry excuse for a leader Putin is. Nobody respects him, if you love him so much go move to Russia! Get the hell out of this country!

You do understand that many of the hackers stealing identities and money from Americans are sponsored by the Russian government? I'm sure Putin could stop it, but probably gets a cut.
