Yeah, he's a bad guy. Try reading a little if you don't know about him.
All true. That's why he's so popular with American neo-fascists. You have to understand that at the heart, the Trump Cult is all about anarchism. Ultimately, destroying our representative democratic government is their prized goal, has been for 40 years. Putin is grinning ear to ear as he plays them like puppets; there is a reason why he supported Obama's election and then he supported Trump's election; he could not care less which party wins, his goal is to drive the wedge, to support the candidate who is most controversial and divisive.

July 7, 2009. Obama praised Vladimir Putin's "extraordinary work" as Russia's president and now prime minister.

The US finally trying to put some bite in the bark? This is the first time I have ever seen the possibility of sanctions against the oligarchs of Russia. Seems we need the EU to be on board with it too. Many of these people have their ill gotten gains in EU banks. I suspect they will be making other arrangements. Chinese banks specifically.


US Invites EU To Blacklist Russian Oligarchs

I can't see where anything will change. If the EU goes for it toes will be stepped on, sensitive toes. Then the Russian oligarchs will go elsewhere.

Have no idea where you are going with that. The reality is that BOTH Obama and Trump were ideal Presidents for Putin. He could not care less about their politics. All Putin cares about is to keep driving the wedge. What could be better for him than having a black President for 8 years, during which he used social media to drive anti-Obama memes, to easily build the anti-Obama movement, which eventually became the Trump movement. Then to actually get Trump the lover of Chaos elected? That was a gift from the gods for Russia.

They told us 50 years ago and KEPT telling us that they would destroy us from within. And they may very well be right - Putin understands how easy we are to manipulate and he will use that tactical advantage in every way possible.

Some get away with just being forced to resign over "sexual harassment" scandals, or, Twitter taunted to political death.

Putin had nothing to do with the ANTI-OBAMA movement. Obama and the Democrats did all that by themselves pushing a left wing agenda when they had control of all branches of government and pushed Obamacare and raised spending.


You make it sound that Putin controls the American media, American newspapers, Wall Street and the entertainment industry which is very political and very Pro Obama and liberal. That is how clueless you sound.


Before Obama, it was W BUSH and before him Bill Clinton....same politics of division and hate that Putin had nothing to do with it.
