And if you ask all these Putin lovers, how many of them would go live in Putin's Russia, you will hear crickets.

You people have lost your minds.
Well there seems to be some professional agitators here on CD - I have certainly seen them in other places - even on NFL Team discussion boards during game-day.

Anyone who speaks out against Putin - either online or in-person in Russia puts their life in danger. The life expectancy of vocal Putin critics/rivals is very short - even outside of Russia - just look at how many Russians have died in the UK under suspicious circumstances.

Hard to say someone like that could ever be a "good" guy.

Here is some more recent news from Russia.

Russian billionaire 'loses half his fortune' after 'divorcing Vladimir Putin's daughter'

Perhaps if you spent more time with reputable news sources, you'd know about Putin's frightening authoritarian reign in Russia, and his actions to undermine a host of other western countries, not only the U.S. Then you wouldn't post such silliness.

I don't want to live in Russia. I was just a bot manufactured there.

Putin is all about protecting and advancing interests of the upper class in Russia.
Sometimes it correlates with Russian national interests, but for the MOST PART, it really doesn't.

98% of all the comments in this forum are nothing but parroting with no individual thinking at all. Ironic how brainwashed people are by the same propaganda they denounce.

This video will tell you the level of brainwashing you've been exposed to.

There are millions of Russians who are speaking out against Putin now (on-line including.)
Just in case you are not aware - the elections in Russia are coming up in March and they've got a new contender for presidency. The problem is - this new contender is not darling of American establishment Navalny, and that's why you don't hear much about what's going on there now, in connection with upcoming election.
The man that plenty of people support (and hence harshly criticize Putin) has been nominated for presidency by the united front of the Communist Party and variety of other national-patriotic organizations.

He was head of the KGB.

You might want to read up on what it took to climb to the top of that manure heap. Hint - a good person wouldn't be able to do it.
