Default Re: Please share your views on Vladimir Putin

I agree that VP is an intresting character. He turned the Russian economy around, threw out the oligarchs, imprisoned the head guy - a Russian/Israeli dual citizen, and nationalized Gazprom, the big oil company. Ariel Sharron immediately flew over to Russia to demand his release which didn't happen. I read Dick Chenney is still furious about it. They had their eyes on all that nice oil money and it's gone, plus made some nice investments. No returns, oh well.

Russia is still having it's economic ups and down but is in far better shape than it was prior to Putin. It appears he really did throw out the western illuminati powers that had been running things from behind the scenes for so long.
