Vladimir Putin

[Nonson]

Suffering is a fact of history in every nation. Democracy doesn't end it. The socialist-welfare state of the USA tried for forty years. So my question is, if you see no future why worry about the present? Either President Putin acts decisively in short order or Ruusia will be overwhelmed by the Zionists or the Islamic factions. He's probably the best shot Russia has had in years.

I do not know any "perfect" president in the world history. All of them sooner or later do some nasty things to the countries they rule.

I do no think Putin will create 3WW. His KGB background will prevent him from doing this.

Democracy is not a preferred system of government for those adequate to the task of life. The social strictures necessary to maintain it are debilitating to thoses strong enough to carry their own load. If you need some government to assure you of your right to life and to defend that life for you then you are admitting a fatal weakness. Governments only ensure their own survival if the protective drones can't do then job. Being able to reason is neither civilized nor barbaric. Its something you inherit from some deep, dark, and long forgotton past. Its a survival mechanism that will function just fine if you let it do its job. Dumping intellectual garbage on it doesn't help. In fact, it can kill you. Identification with suffering is not a good way to approach life. Everytime you stick a piece of meat in yourn mouth something had to suffer and die so that you can live. Perhaps, human suffering serves a just purpose also; one which we are unaware of. Sir, anarchy on a global scale is the only answer and solution the the monumental problems facing humankind. A savage reasoning just might save us all.

As a Monarchist, I think Vladimir Putin would make an excellent TSAR !

My own opinion on Vladmir Putin is so far that he mean business, I read a article in one of Hong Kong web site that he crack down on vodka trade, the corrupt media group and Boris Benskery the head of that media group because Boris didn't pay his taxes

Shame, shame, Boris

Hi Atossa,

Well he is doing good job of getting over on corrupt business, media, and some of the media groups in Russia. Like certain media tycoon named Boris Bensrkiey who "spoke out" against Putin during the campaign. But the coolest thing Putin did is when he flew a fighter jet part of the way to Cheynea now I like see my President, Bill Clinton do that, but he is too much a wimp.

Somehow I like Vladimir Putin very much as a person,and since he appeared on my television screen quite a while ago I became more and more interested in todays-russian politics and his job as the President of the Russian Federation.
