1.You guys really think Putin is your buddy?

2.You really think Putin will just sit back as both NATO and the EU weaken?

3.Forget Eastern Europe, have you seen what happens to people INSIDE Russia once Putin sees them as a threat?

4.Its shocking how calm so many people are about all this.

1. Yes, he has an account here. 

2. Yes, he is playing time. EU will fall sooner or later, USA will - highly likely - start confrontation witch China, and Russia is mandatory ally in this project. NATO ? Well, it's basically USA + Turkey if we talk about serious military capability. Also, Russia has no desire for NATO sphere. They dont even want a whole Ukraine, only eastern part.

3. People inside russia ? - Well, 1.8 birthrate for woman is already higher than in the EU.   awesome net national income growth during whole Putin's terms, just weaken by santcions, booming agriculture sector etc. Long story short - Russian people quality of life is improving, just partially blocked last 2 years. U dont get 70% votes if u are unpopular, just like Western puppets in Russia are.

4. Im realistic. That's the way I am.

 

BTW - Im from Eastern Europe, and what I can say - our elders say Soviet domination was more democratic and more friendly for our economy than current USA/EU/corps/banksters etc.

Lol, Russia's economy is shit and not just because of sanctions (which Putin is to blame for as well by the way). Also Russia has a life expectancy average of only 70. That's 8-10 years lower than civilized countries.
