What are your thoughts on Vladimir Putin?

Vlad the Mad/Bad is a dangerous ratbag. I am amazed that some people buy his line about "NATO aggression". The Baltic states and Eastern European countries asked to join NATO because they were concerned that what is happening to Ukraine now would happen to them, a fully justified concern. Most of Putin's propaganda is laughable bullshit, but some people actually seem to believe it.

Another bully with nukes. He failed to make his country an international economic power, and when he finally realized the "infrastructure" he put in place, turned Russia into a gas station with nukes, he decided to lash out.

He should have created a democracy, allowing brains to thrive, instead of migrate to the US, it would be a different story, but that's what bullies do.

Just another rather sad human being swirling in samsara, going nowhere. Yet causing such misery and suffering.

Seemingly rebuilt the Russian economy and standard of living to an unprecedented high, only to piss it all over the floor by invading the Ukraine. We should have figured out what was coming from the dress rehearsal: Georgia.

Protecting his line to let NATO know not to cross there.

Doing everything he can to protect his country from NATO expansion in Ukraine.

The U.S. Corrupt Government including some parts of NATO trying to feed the Machine. Oh especially the U.S. keeps on giving.

Did brilliantly for most of the 2000s. Then fucked up everything he achieved and has to rely on the threat of nukes to prevent him loosing a war against a smaller neighbor. A war all of his own making.

Negative

{@corvusblackthorne ] a very dangerous man as people who have crossed him will tesify

Chop him up and deep fry him and sell the pieces as souvenir pork rinds.

His older brother Dracula was less of a c#nt

He used to be America's favorite for Russia and now he's the excuse for cutting Europe off. The EU is probably grinding its brains into weiners to justify it for you.

He thinks what he’s doing is right. Just like his alliances do.
NATO is just doing what they feel is right

We bicker about it all not knowing the full story. We only know what our government tells us.

Him NATO I could name others all think they can take over it’s just him now up to bat not say I theirs right I don’t just saying we will see others we have in the past look at history

Man of the Centuries
Hero of Russia and Syria

Trump is the best for America.
Biden stole the election. Senile, weak leadership. It is a catastrophe to betray Democracy, isn't it ?
Enjoy the Chaos now.

Even a capitalist country feelin' his threat. I must say he does has dangerous trait that make people flinch. Maybe Russians built that way.

one time a secret admiration for him a firm leader trying his best for russia,but now a total loser.i hope one day he swings.

murderous dictator and criminal thug, more like mafia boss than national leader.

Nasty little paedophile most likely.

A megalomaniac: A person who is obsessed with his own power.

He is an anti-communist and imperialist pig
