Putin says new post-Soviet union ready for 2015 launch

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Be careful, you are using gay themes to mock the man, is that a little homophobia poking through?

No, Danno. It's Putin that has a homophobia issue. And more often than not that indicates a certain leaning. You know what I'm talking about, don't you?

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

There's a lot of racism and homophobia in Russia to be sure.

There's a lot of racism and homophobia in Russia to be sure.

There's a lot of alcoholism, too. Russia is still a very troubled place. And Putin sure isn't making it any better.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

No they need to get shot of him and the idea that the measure of a good leader Josef Stalin. Some people there still rate him as a great leader despite him being responsible for tens of minions of deaths.

The whole country could go to but as long as there's a man of iron sitting on the throne... Juvenile.

Of course I know what you are talking about, I have been "calling" you folks out on it for years now.

You are special, privileged, you can mock race, gender, and even Gays as long as it's for a noble cause, and in this case, to belittle the man that bested your Man Obama.

Actually he is making it better and that is what bothers you so much.

No one can compare the Russia he inherited to the Russia of today.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Yes, in the same way that Castro is making his country better. I know you have a crush on dictators, Danno.

Well perhaps you are right and I just need to be taught, explain in what ways Russians are worse off now.

Lets begin with Economic growth.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Putin keeps political prisoners. Russia is less free today than it was last year. And Putin will see to it that Russia is less free next year than it was this year. He's a dictator, Danno.

THIS will be Obama's legacy. The reassembled Soviet Union. Congratulations! While we messed around with Obamacarw which was ultimately cancelled by Obama...Putin slapped him around and re-formed the Soviet Union. It was essentially dependant on Ukraine's going along with it...which they did when Obama showed repeated signs of weakness to Putin. Obama is an incompetent civil servant that should have stayed working as a community organizer

But no one cares about Ukraine?

One good thing about Russians...they don't run into a place with a bomb strapped to their chest and blow people up.

The Soviet Union did more to further American might than anything to date. I welcome the competition. Assuming this Eurasian trade agreement amounts to what you think it will. Based on past hysterical predictions, I'm going to say no. We're focused exactly where we need to be right now, Asia.

As opposed to your proper way of doing the same?

Just as there are a fair amount of people who sing Obama's praises, and can't admit how he's hurting our country. The disease is not confined to one country or continent...

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I don't think the two are comparable really. Stalin was a murderous dictator who killed tens of millions. Some modern Russians seem to overlook that because they perceive him to have been a strong leader.

Cuba seemed OK to me when Michael Moore visited them to get some healthcare in his movie "Sicko". A real utopia.

You're not saying now that Moore was.....misleading us are you?

Tens of minions. Tens of them.
