really? Cause as bad as Bush messed everything up... at least he didn't destroy democracy in the US. Saying Bush is worse then Putin is honestly ridiculious. Bush will be gone soon. While Putin in his Chronies will have control of ruissa for years to come... because nobody will get a fair vote.

Bush maybe an idiot but Putin is an authoritarian ruler that only pretends to be a democrat, that man controls media, exterminates people in chechenya and deals with the opposition. Former KGB Colonel made sure that his buddies from FSB (Old KGB and NKWD) are the true masters of russia now (they dealt with people like Chodorkowsky or Abramovich), and current president is only his puppet.
Facts are Russia was never a democracy, in fact russians dont even like democracy in their whole history they have been strong under an iron fist, leadership without a challenge and they proud of it.
And of course Russia are looking at Ukraine, Moscow believe that they own Ukraine since XVII century and they would never let it go, Ukrainians tried so many times to break from Empire or Soviet Union but they failed. Now Russian elites still see Ukraine and other countries from old sphere of influence as their provinces.
