Ha! Jokes on you, there is no poll.

Me, too.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to William Tell again.

Very simple. What is your view on Vladimir Putin? Let's sort this out.

I was certain he could kick Obama's ass and I'm pretty certain he could kick Trumps too..

He seems to be pro-Christian...

Other than those superficial observations I don't know enough to form an opinion....

On a serious note, libertarians who are reluctant to criticize Putin puzzle me. So much for your passion for liberty.

You need to learn more about the deep state.

 

[DanJ]

Because that's the key to understanding Putin? Fuck logic right.

He gets paid less than $200,000 a year yet has somehow amassed an estimated fortune of some $200 billion. He has some nice friends.

The Richest Man in the World Could Be Putin


Russian President Vladimir Putin has amassed a massive fortune, potentially the largest in the world.

International Business Times pointed out on Wednesday that Putin's fortune could be as much as $200 billion.

But Putin has been snubbed from official world's richest lists in the past, such as Forbes.

"We value individuals' assets–including stakes in public and private companies, real estate, yachts, art and cash–and take into account estimates of debt. We also consult an array of outside experts in various fields," Forbes wrote in 2015, but noted that some individuals "cooperate" while "others don't," and added that the magazine excludes "dictators who derive their fortunes entirely as a result of their position of power."

Forbes did not stipulate that was the reason for his omission, however.

Time Magazine reported similarly in January, citing estimates from $40 billion to $70 billion.

"I believe that it's $200 billion," Bill Browder, author and a former fund manager in Russia, told CNN.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a news conference announcing Alexander Acosta as the new Labor Secretary nominee in the East Room at the White House on Feb. 16, 2017, in Washington, D.C. The announcement comes a day after Andrew Puzder withdrew his nomination.

"After 14 years in power of Russia, and the amount of money that the country has made, and the amount of money that hasn't been spent on schools and roads and hospitals and so on, all that money is in property, bank--Swiss bank accounts--shares, hedge funds, managed for Putin and his cronies," he added

I was thinking about the 93 million in gold he took while working in the St Petersburg Mayors office that was to be used to buy food with back in '92 . That too was stashed outside the country.

US foreign policy is bad, therefore anyone who opposes it must be good - that's the source of the misplaced Putin love.

The reality is that both sides are more or less equally bad.

Same for the Snowden avatars.
Used to think it was one guy who'd finally just snapped and started having arguments with himself on a message board.
Then I realized it was more than one guy with a Snowden avatar.

There is also the "Putin's boot isn't the one on my neck" factor.

I don't dislike Putin nearly as much as I would if I lived in Russia ...

Where is all this money that Putin has, and how do they know he has it?
