Either way - sorry your hero isnt flawless afterall.

I posted this on the OT but this is the best way to sum up a Putin lead country.

The ruble isn't worth the paper its printed on.

The country's educated and wealthy are leaving.

Foreign investors are thinking twice.

Its death rate and life expectancy are alarmingly bad.

Russia is one of the ultimate handouts countries in the world with its people needing money from their gov't.

Russia was so desperate to increase its population due to it shrinking so fast they opened up their borders to all ex soviet countries to move there.


Id rather have Obama in charge than Putin. At least we can speak our displeasure about Obama. If we did so under a Putin lead government we would end up missing.
