"Visiting 79-year-old artist Ilya Glazunov, Mr Putin stopped in front of a large painting of a medieval knight.

"The sword is too short," he is reputed to have said. "It's only good enough for cutting sausage." "

LMAO.....Thanks god I'm in an electronics Lab all by myself cause I busted up...

and if that wasn't enough....


Last week, he humiliated one of Russia's richest men on live television. He forced the billionaire businessman Oleg Deripaska to reopen an aluminium plant after protests by laid-off workers.

As the cameras rolled, Mr Putin threw his pen on the table and ordered Mr Deripaska to sign the paperwork.

"Noobs, reopen that aluminum plant...and don't cut the sheets using swords that are so short they looked to be designed to cut sausages!"

I guess that's how dictators stay in power.

I'm trying to prevent this thread from getting onto P&N 😉 I very well know of a lot of controversy around Putin....but I'm not interested in having this thread moved there.

And I did laugh at the sausage comment, and felt obliged to share it 😛
 
Putin is funny in the sort of way that someone who pines to restore the Soviet era hegemony of zero human rights, a two class system of the filthy poor & powerless and those with godlike wealth and influence, perpetual war, culture of propaganda and ignorance, and piss-poor economic policy can be funny.
 
WHo do you think would win in a fight? Obama or Putin?
I'd say probably Putin. Dude is scary. Any world leader could take him in a one on one, no weapons, fight?

Of course Putin would win. dude is KGB psycho insane.
 
I think the comparisons of Putin to people like Stalin in the Western press are exaggerated. He may not be a American/Western European style pro-Civil Rights little "d" democrat, but his heavy handed tactics are popular in his own country, and dare I say - they actually work? He's played hardball with the west and with Russian business leaders (who purchased all the state assets in the 1990's in rigged auctions), and Russia is more prosperous for it.

I have no doubt some of what you're saying is true, there's a little propaganda war going on, but when numerous journalists that have been critical of putin as well as other critics are murdered, its clear there is more authoritarianism going on than they are admitting to.
