I dated a Russian woman in the 1990s; her and all her fiends loved Putin. Even then he was riffing on Russian nationalism and Christian values as a post-soviet political solution, he was way ahead on this.Originally posted by Jog On View PostHe's definitely cashing in on the silent majority of people who are happy to let others live their lives however they choose but are getting a bit sick of 'diversity' being force-ably rammed down their throats everywhere they look.
It's not hard to appeal to the masses who are a fed up with fanatical liberals and leftists calling anyone who disagrees with them a nazi/racist etc. This is why Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan and other 'alt right' figures are so popular. Vlad knows exactly how to exploit this.Comment

Maybe the Russians deserve Putin. Doesn't mean Putin should inflict his nonsense views on the (relatively) decent parts of the world.Originally posted by TwoWolves View PostI dated a Russian woman in the 1990s; her and all her fiends loved Putin.

He's not saying anything new. He's saying what Jordan Peterson and other critics of liberalism are saying. Whether he means it or not and is just saying it for political gain remains to be seen.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostMaybe the Russians deserve Putin.

The BBC by making this front page news think they're scoring a goal by trying to make him look like an intolerant racist LGBTABCDXYZ-phobe alt-right nazi. When what they will probably achieve is creating more useful idiots who agree with what he's saying."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

Well if we really do believe in liberalism then he should be perfectly free to air his views whilst we quietly smile and ignore them. All this angry disapproval is kind of making his point!Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostMaybe the Russians deserve Putin.

This has to be my favorite picture of 2019 so far:

I'm trying to think of anyone who does that. I disagree with Vince Cable, but I wouldn't call him a Nazi or racist.Originally posted by Jog On View PostHe's definitely cashing in on the silent majority of people who are happy to let others live their lives however they choose but are getting a bit sick of 'diversity' being force-ably rammed down their throats everywhere they look.

Trump news – LIVE: President wags finger at Putin and says 'don’t meddle in the election'
The pair traded brief remarks on Friday about issues they planned to discuss when a reporter shouted to President Trump about warning Putin "not to meddle" in the 2020 election.
The president answered "of course" before he turned to Mr Putin and said: "Don't meddle in the election."
He playfully repeated request while pointing at Putin, who laughed.
