Vladimir Putin's approval rating at record levels

[Okurkabinladin]

Have to love stats coming out of Russia about loving a dictator,North Korea will follow suit now.

Putin has a real problem on his hands and I can not wait to see how he deals with it. He has so far been a pretty good strategist,have to admit the Russian mind is different. They play poker and chess differently.
So he has very little friends or some one he can trust to take over for him and not take away all the money he has built up. Honestly he could end up dead if the wrong people got into power,he has way to much money to be ignored. They estimate his billions and they figure he could be in the high billions.

Like Russian burned book in Crimea ? Like Russian kicked all tatars from Crimea ? Of course when this is others ... this is bad , but when russian ... normal ... nothing to look go away ... LoL

Do you have any evidence for all the verbal diarrhea which comes out through your orifice? As far as I know, the Crimean Tatars are still living in Crimea. No one kicked them out.

Have you a brainwashed ? Russia get destroyed only and only because they prefered to build weapons ... nothing to do with Puppet ...  If russian gov had taken more care about the basic things ... never the Russia had the bankrupt ...  and for the Wall i let you you choose ..

Listen. Russia is the no.2 weapons exporter in the world. Arms industry is one of the major forex earners. You worry about the bankruptcy of your country (Ukraine). The Russians know how to take care of their country.

You come here to do critic over US & all European ... but so far all the EU country lived in peace after the WWII WAR and not with the "communist like" ... spy your neighbor to get a better place in the party..

In peace, and without sovereignty, as loyal vassal states of the US.

After the end of WW2 ... the only country that sent TANK to put down population HAS BEEN RUSSIA ....  Praga ?? You have some miss in your historic culture ?? How the Polish president declined the offer of the Russia to deploy Tank too in poland when workers in Gdansk .... go outside to kick the communist party !

Oh, then what about the 70 or so countries which were invaded by the Americans in the past 7 decades?

And this is a good thing that the Iron curtain has been break with the help of Pope Jean-Paul II & Polish people ... If living under Russian was so Nice .... explain us why all country living under Russian domination, once free ... banned mostly russian ... and do not want to get anymore anything with them ... ? Hoo just for the fun perhaps ?

Most of the Poles are born idiots. So it doesn't surprise me. And what your gay pope Jean-Paul II did is not important here. The iron curtain was brought down by Ronald Reagan, and not by the Polish idiots or the gay pope.

Bryant,

actually along with Belarussians, Poles are genetically practically identical to Russians. Their irrational behavior can be easily explained by their catholic bias aswell as complex of "great nation" confined to "small country" (fault of Russians of course). I do not approve of Polands actions (which has been destabilizing to european peace in the past century), but I do understand their agenda.

Meanwhile, Europe gets swamped by more selfinflicted debts and refugees...

Being Catholic is no excuse for being stupid and Russophobic. If that was the case, then the French and the Italians would have been even more Russophobic than the Poles, and the Romanians even more pro-Russian than the Kazakhs. But that is not the case. IMO, the problem is that the Poles are easily brainwashed. A reason for that might be the reduced intelligence and mental retardation resulting from working too much time in the toilets of Germany and the UK.

[Okurkabinladin]

Thats why I mentioned "syndrom of small nation" too  religion and assumed national identity are really two most significant differences between Pole and Russian. Genetically (and culturally considering pre-christian times), they are very, very close.

See for yourself.

[bryant.coleman]

Genetically, the Poles might be very similar to the Russians, but culturally, they have been very heavily influenced by the Germans. And another thing is that, although I am not very fond of the Poles, I will agree that their numbers have been going down for the last many decades (if not many centuries), due to assimilation. In the 19th and 20th centuries, large number of Poles were assimilated in to the other ethnic groups, such as Germans, Ukrainians, Belorussians, Lithuanians, Russians.etc.

This is something that caught my eye, something that the media has actually covered. According to the sources (I've read it first in local newspaper) a girl had sent a letter to Putin saying how her family can't afford to buy this rare dog. Putin actually replied to her and got her the dog.
I would not be surprised if we see people saying that he did this solely for publicity. If he does nothing then he is bad,and if he does something he is still bad for some.

Gifting a new dog is not that difficult or someone like Putin. I was about to post that Putin should care more about the Russian citizens, than sending gifts to the Kyrgyz nationals. But then I noticed that the girl was an ethnic Russian.



That said, for me, the following news is more important:

Of course it is not difficult, however most presidents wouldn't care. What I was trying to point out was that the sheep would use any news related to Putin against him.
Just read a few comments on that article. I would say that Putin is doing a number of great things, but the west is trying to disregard all that and just talk about tensions, Crimea and whatnot.

Are you of Eastern Europe descent? This may seem off base like my comment but I am curious,would explain the take on my post.

If you do a research in every research center placed in every kind of the earth about Kim Jong-Un you will find that 99.99% (or even 100%) of North Korean people will love him. That doesn't mean that this person it is not a dictator and a common delinquent which torture its people like his father and his grandfather.

The Russians must pray that one day the daughters of Putin take the place of their father because only the genes of Putin race can guide the Russian people versus the continues glories.

Russia is not Third Reich, its statehood is imperial, not ethno-obssesive  it is also not United Kingdom where purity of your bloodline decides your rank among those waiting for throne. It is difficult to discuss specifics of the country, if your mind is closed, even conditioned to hate certain culture. As to some families being privileged more than others, when I look at India (Ghandi clan) or United States (Kennedy clan, Bush clan, Rotschilds) I dont see that much difference. All of those are oligarchies dependant on some degree of public approval.

That isnt criticism, atleast unlike in Europe (which devolved into technocracy where votes are as universal as they are meaningless), public opinion still matters.

Now, Putins background is that of secret service officer, so I take a guess, that the next likely candidate for Russias leader will have similar background, his sheltered daughters are not viable for such role.

Could you explain what you mean by that?
The Ruskies are extremely ethno-obsessive. There is plenty of evidence of that in this thread, simply because Russians (and Russian apologists) cannot stop thinking about the genes and genetic history of "everyone else".

No one has done any research in North Korea, because the American research agencies are not allowed inside that country. That said, the Russophobes will always be having the difficulty in accepting how much public support Putin commands. His public support in percentage terms is almost twice that of Barack Obama, and the Western sanctions have played their role in increasing it from 65% to 90%.

And the Russophiles are too stupid to understand that approximately 60~70% is the upper limit for political support where they don't need to be embarrassed. Above that limit, it indicates the following:

a) there is too much group-think. The country is dominated by mindless sheep who have been fooled by the president's populist tricks.

b) some of the people are too scared to openly voice their opposition. I understand that Russians have a kind of cultural idiocy where they confuse "respect" with fear and intimidation. High support levels indicate that the leader is very intimidating, and therefore he has more power to force the people to do things, such as start wars. That is bad.

c) The opposition is too weak to keep the leader in line. You can't have a stable system without negative feedback.

You are the ultimate idiot, not the Russians. You have no problem in supporting a habitual liar and warmonger such as Hillary Clinton, and now you are mocking the Russians for supporting Putin. An average Russian is more intelligent than the average American, as seen from the choice of presidential nominees. And once again, Russians know what is the best for them. They don't need advice from Russophobes such as you.

[nutildah]

Anyway, clearly Putin resonates with many Russian citizen.  Having control of the media and putting a lot of his political opponents in jail probably also helps.  However, it is hard to argue with his success.

Sure, its easy to make a lot of "friends" once you dispatch all your enemies... I think he got that pearl of wisdom from Stalin.

Point is, your president is a dictator. Dictators are never good. Your nation is reverting back to the old ways, except its not called Communism anymore.

This is good. "An average Russian is more intelligent than the average American, as seen from the choice of presidential nominees." Never hear such stupid things. All the world want to emigrate in the USA and the most intelligent people are in Russia. As it can see in Usa emigrate all the stupid people and and the intelligent born in Russia. There are some techniques of sex that only Russian known and uses and made that Russian born more intelligent than all the other nations of the world. The problem is that URSS was destroyed from the stupid Usa people. But now Russia has Putin which will have revenge for this. Poor Americans what will have from this glorious leader.

Yes so glorious that his daughter live in switzerland with $$ ... far away from russian crisis ... always more easy to -> Do what i tell not what i do !

Souldream we are at the same ship mate. I think that Putin and his entourage are destroying Russia. I think that Putin is a miserable being human which think for himself as a new world leader to whom no one cannot do nothing while can do everything he want. But as every little dictator this end will come from his nation. The question is when. Sooner for them better for the Russians and Russia.
