I found that article terribly written, while perhaps factually correct, it's a american nationalist piece of crap..
The truth is we're all jealous that Putin has a pair of balls.. it's more than we can say about the Canadian or US heads of state.
:???: !00% wrong. He's a troublemaker and a problem child. You're jealous of that?Nesikep":pxmve0gk said:The truth is we're all jealous that Putin has a pair of balls..
Using that line of thinking would have limited the life of this country to a very few short years after the originals died off. Most fought simply to get here period.Bigfoot":3401xlxp said:Dang, I'm the 6th post in, and im gonna deal the death blow to the thread. We're getting bad about this. Many of our founding fathers promoted American Nationalism, and denounced immigration. Their theory was that if people came to our country, that had not fought to achieve freedom here, that it would be the death of democracy. Crazy notion I know.

There's so much behind the scenes BS and slanted media coverage to deliberately make him look bad... I'm don't want to say he's a shining example of a human or anything else, but when a Russian is a nationalist it's a terrible thing (on the world stage), but when an American is, that's OK.
As they say.. don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you read.
