[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;24036656]Wow that's great I didn't know FP were such fans of authoritarian dictators nevermind then.[/QUOTE] He fucking brought Russia from ruins to back to power (nowhere near the soviet days tho') in only a couple of years, he has updated the law system, he has created workplaces for people again. Your arguments are on the level of an 12 year old child. Just drop it already and go play some halo or something, unload your sexual-frustration/rebellion rage on something else than facepunch

[QUOTE=POLOPOZOZO;24036656]Wow that's great I didn't know FP were such fans of authoritarian dictators nevermind then.[/QUOTE] You're just jealous.

[QUOTE=Heroms;23990294]POLOPOZOZO doesn't know shit about Putin, apparently.

Have you ever considered the fact that he might actually care and is putting those forest fires to help? Honestly your head is so far up your ass at this point I don't think there's any hope. This is like saying Bill Gate's donated to charity and created a whole new foundation just to raise his popularity and so people view him as a good person.[/QUOTE] I can pull charts out of google too!

No, you just quoted Heroms you idiot

Economic power in exchange for the largest genocide in recorded history, that's great, you must feel so proud of yourself. He brought power back to a government controlled economy while the public continued to live in unbearable conditions under constant fear and paranoia. Now this asshole has the same Cult of Personality bullshit going for him and not only does half his own public fall for it, tools outside his own country buy it. Except this time instead of economic power going to an authoritarian government it's going to the fucking oligarchs who according to even that own previous poster's citation now have a flat tax rate and decreased corporate tax, while people outside the cities are the same drunk, uneducated, impoverished country bumpkins they've always been. And now, some weeaboo tool is trying to justify half a century of what can be described as nothing short of villainy to me through euphemism, ad hominem, and blatant hypocrisy. I mean wow that last sentence there is a perfect ending, so well articulated and intelligent! You must feel so much more above me because obviously this is all just teen angst.

He was a terrible president, sorry to inform you of this.

I guess polopozozo thinks every emperor and king that ever lived were terrible leaders, too. Hitler was intelligent, he just fucked up by systematically killing people. Remove the genocide and he's an amazing leader.

I found the source of his awesomeness: [img]http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/completestore/2009/1/25/128774102593530355.jpg[/img] Putin is James Bond.

Remove the genocide and he's an amazing leader.[/QUOTE] Right because pushing a public into supporting world conquest for the good of a single nation isn't bad either. Also I don't know of any kings that managed to get the kill count to at least 20 million but ok good argument Heroms you win. I mean sure Putin isn't as bad as Lukashenko or something, but don't make him out to be the best ever with stuff like this, I'm not sure why people are so naive about him.

Taking matters into your own hands = vigilante Thats how justice sees it.

Is it suspicious how all of Putins critics have small testicles?

Once you reach max level you stop leveling.

Putin is a god.

Why is Putin such a god damn bad ass?
