More interesting to read Putin’s full presentation. It’s a dreadfully long speech and Q & A but it touches on many pertinent issues:

Very interesting - and long. He brings up many points that are not openly discussed here - social upheaval and destruction, the balance between the state and the market, the value of a reasonable conservatism. I would dance giddily if i ever heard any of our politicians speaking in such depth.

Typically, the only people who can drone on and on for that long without people nodding off are people who can imprison people for nodding off.

Or manufacture military conflicts with a handful of real casualties to boost his popularity.

He's a murderous thug, not an idiot. I think what's funny is trusting idiots just because they're not murderous thugs.

For Russians, Putin’s musings come as a breath of fresh air in part because he is the first leader since Stalin who can actually form coherent sentences and devise and implement policies which they, for the most part, can relate to and support. To use Stalin’s infamous slogan; “life [in Russia under Putin] has become more easy, more happy”
For Westerners he is, of course, a Stalin like thug, who hates liberal democracy in general and modern progressivism in particular. That too is correct.

Maybe if almost everybody you quoted wasn’t such a piece of shit I’d manage a more positive reaction.

Who'd a thunk it? A turd that doesn't like shit...
BTW, the last thing I quoted today...
"The best friend man has in the world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son, or daughter, that he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and good name may become traitors to their faith. The money a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our head.
"The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only to be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounters with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince."When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing, and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.
"If fortune drives his master forth, an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies,. And when that last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there, by the graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true, even in death."
--Senator George Graham Vest, speaking to a jury about Old Drum, shot in 1869. Johnson County Circuit Court, Warrensburg, Missouri
Yep, absolute shit...
