You have to admire both Vlads......on made a legend (or myth) and the other is making history. Putin isn't perfect but look at the mess he has had to deal with since Boris left office. Russia is a powerhouse........not some mess with rape gangs running the streets (as they were in the beginning). His vision isn't perfect but it is one the russian people understand.
Yes, he single-handedly raised the price of oil himself, which put the country on a decent economic footing!
Perhaps you and your lot would approve of having a leader like him over here? Who needs a free press! Jail successful businessmen if they appear to have even a chance to rival your power! Have the government take over their business! Create your own terrorism to scare the populace into supporting you even more (some of his doings on that end seem to have inspired the "Loose Change" idiot conspiracy wingnuts over here to think our gov't has done the same thing).
