Putin redpill

>Is Putin a manlet?
Well yes, duh.
However keep in mind he has a black belt in Judo and is a former KGB operative. That kinda checks out for him.

>Is Putin a patriot of his country?
Compared to average European "leaders"? Yes. If speaking in general, I believe yes, but some may argue. Although since the start of Ukraine crisis his critics have less and less of ground to base their accusations which most often concern the economy and immigration policies. The strongest point proving he is a patriot - respecting the military. Russian army under him was put back into shape. While still a mere shadow of former Soviet glory it made great leaps in terms of equipment and combat training/readiness.

>Is Putin a cuck?
Sort of, if we speek in Sup Forums terms. Putin is an advocate for multicultural Russia and a fierce opponent of Russian nationalist movements. However, keep in mind that Russia has more than 140 different ethnicities comprising it's population and some very difficult regions like the Caucasus. Letting nationalists express their views freely may open the Pandora's box and start another parade of secessions. Remember: Russia was an ethnostate only before the conquest of Kazan and Astrakhan (even then it had more than plenty of ethnicities). After that it became an empire and remains as one to this day with Russians being it's core ethnicity. Also, note, that most ethnicities are living on their historical lands, are localized into ethnic regions/autonomous (on paper) republics. They don't dictate their will upon federal government - this shit was prominent only near 1998 when Russia was in deep shit.
There's another thing - immigration from ex-USSR Middle Asia shitholes. Russia basically has open borders with them. In 2014 (or 2015 - don't quite remember) the immigration laws became more strict. Legally one can remain in Russia for 90 days for work purposes now and the punisment for violating these laws became harsher - so that's a good thing.

>Is it Putin's achievement that Russian economy was on the rise throughout 2000-2013?
Yes and no.
Yes because during his first term he pushed some very important economic reforms. He basically broke globalists' grip on Russia, returning most of shares in privatized enterprises (formely government-owned) into the hands of Russian residents, saving strategically valuable installations. He also created stability ending terror on Caucasus, largely defeated organized crime. And businesses love stability. Under him Russia received a huge ammount of foreign investiments.
No because most of the growth of GDP and population's purchasing power came from high oil prices obviously. He failed to diversify the economy (it is slowly diversifying somewhat right now thanks to low oil prices and sanctions). He failed to beat the corruption (although in recent months Russia has witnessed an anticorruption campaign never before seen). Most of prime ministers he appointed and cabinets they have had formed were liberal (almost too liberal) economically, withdrawing welfare, social benefits and cutting government subsidies with each year (not all of them, of course, some new have been introduced like maternal capital), and too conservative when it came to putting additional income from selling oil to good use, fearing the rise in inflation. Generally speaking, these policies is what led to 2013 stagnation in economy (even before the onset of oil price drop and economic sanctions). The policies have to be changed oherwise Russia will never return to previous rates of GDP growth.

>Is Putin a dictator
Mmm. I'd say no. He's more liberal than not. Liberal in classic sense. But Russia has seen many restrictive laws starting from 2012 and onwards. Vatniks could say it's for the national security and to prevent color revolutions in the country, but it's a bad tendency. Russia now basically has anti-hatespeech laws just like EU, so decide for yourself.

>Is Putin responsible for numerous journalists' and some politicians' killings?
No, probably not. Well, maybe some, who knows? But he had literally no reason to do so. His ratings never dropped lower than 40%, remaining around 60-70% most of the time. His "opponents" never got any noticeable support, so killing them achieved nothing. Those murders only gave his image negativity, consoledated protesting electorate and gave food to Western MSM to smear him. Journalists and politicians from non-systemic (not presented in any branches of power) parties had plenty of enemies especially within local corrupt authorities and organized crime circles.

>Is Putin a communist?
No, he is a patriotic liberal. As he himself put it: "One who doesn't remember USSR with warmth has no heart, on who want's to restore it has no brain." However unlike neoliberals and globalism puppets he does not paint USSR in black and draws much pride in it's achievements. You have to understand, Brezhnev times - 70's - early 80's were the happiest times for Soviet people, even happier than 2000's. Nothing was bothering them. Present and future looked bright for people. But those times are a thing of the past. Communism is an ideology of old people in Russia and it is slowly dying out. Recent parliamentary elections demostrate this as Communists' Party support dropped by 5%. Once the new generation steps in power - expect Lenin to be taken out from Mauzoleum and buried.

>What's Putin's stance on international relations?
Simply put: realpolitik. To expand: let us trade, cooperate, compete, but strictly in the limits of international law and with a sense of mutual respect and consideration for other parties.

>What is Putin's ultimate goal?
Making Russia great again. The main obstacle to this in the last decade apart from internal problems was the US and it's hegemony. In order to achieve his goal he has to strip the US of it. However, now that Trump is almost in the office - a new prospect opens which goes like this: I am okay with the US leadership if it brings positive changes to the world around it and respects other nations' sovereignty. Thus his words "USA is the sole superpower nowadays". He is open for cooperation. Just don't poke a bear.

Cheers, I feel like I can form more of an opinion on him now, thanks for typing this out.

as a gigantic martial arts autist i literally can't not like Putin

Bump for good thread

I eagerly await the moment when Putin is going to be hanged in the middle of the Red Square like all corrupt dictators before him.

>Like all corrupt dictators before him.

Doing gods work, russkybro. Thanks for that insight.
Do you think he'll be president until he dies or will he ever be voted out?

There are slight indications that he may go into shadows after the end of his current term. However it is more likely he'll stay for the fourth term and it will be his last most definately.

>Do you think he'll be president until he dies or will he ever be voted out?
He will not be voted out. He might eventually step back on count of old age and/or to ensure smooth transition of power, but voted out? Not happening.

>100.5% Total

Hahaha, no fuck you

Thanks for your bump, kind sir.

no respect for Putin until he retake Konstantinopolj, also for Trump

If you have no respect for Putin, for whom do you have? One may not like him but he is one of the most influential politicians of the last one and a half decade.

for no one, until Konstantinopolj is mudslim city

> Putin is an advocate for multicultural Russia and a fierce opponent of Russian nationalist movements.

all the Sup Forums cucks will still suck his dick

and it's not like russians are allowed to elect somebody else like USA

>ukraine

Ok If a Russian leader some day decides to retake Constantinopol, we'll make sure Serbs are in a vanguard.

>expect Lenin to be taken out from Mauzoleum and buried.

>Communists' Party support dropped by 5%


feelsbadman

putin's russia is a shithole, just read this

On the contrary.
Communism is unsustainable. Not at this point in human history at least.

>like all corrupt dictators before him.
Like who?

And what does that prove? Could be a provocation.
Emelyanenko and Kadyrov met in person after this. This issue was settled.

Funny you mentioned that, this actually happened on tv.

This also became a meme.
146%.

Capitalism is seeming pretty unsustainable at this rate

>Capitalism is seeming pretty unsustainable at this rate
Dunno, state capitalism is kinda working well for us and china.

Neoliberal Americanocentric Globalism you mean.

>Neoliberal Americanocentric Globalism you mean.

Yes.

The state capitalism that emerged from USSR, China and Vietnam isn't as bad.

no he isnt stop lying you fucking cunt

checkd
>The state capitalism that emerged from USSR, China and Vietnam isn't as bad.
Can't say for Chinese or Vietnamese, but our state capitalism is still quite bad. The best capitalistic society ever existed was in the US during 50's-60's I believe. Since then it slowly degraded, having completely mutated into modern monstrosity in the mid 80's.

Yeah it did exist in the 50s and 60s but not anymore, that's why I pointed out the unsustainability.

You talk of unsustainability, but capitalism exists in the West for how many centuries?
It got many forms in the past, but the core principle is still there. While communism
1) never been truly tried hehehehe
2) even attempts at achieving it failed in historically small periods of time
By your logic the most sustainable form of society is tribalistic or feudal since they existed for longest periods.

Capitalism existed in the west for hundreds of years, and for hundreds of years people have been finding problems in it. For hundreds of years it hurt more people than it helped. I don't claim that capitalism is all bad, but even when it works, it doesn't work for everyone.

Also in the 50s and 60s in America there were a lot of social issues (read: civil rights movement.)

Capitalism is still the best system humanity has to offer right now.

If you have read Marx you know that according to him, mean of production define societal formation. Right now humanity is heavily industrialized, resources are limited and production still requires labour. Until we obtain near-unlimited supply of energy, food and other commodities, and until human labour is still required in considerable ammount, communism will always fail because there's no limit to human needs. You satisfy one - he creates another for himself. The state can't satisfy everyones' needs because there's no limit to them and even if there were, it still requires tons of labour from someone. The state also can't efficiently distribute production power. The most efficient regulator is market. Demand and supply.

So basically until we have thermonuclear reactors, molecular and subatomic deconstructors and mass 3d-printing technology there will be no communism. And when we achieve it and if we achieve it, it won't become instant salvation. There still will be problems. And problems are good. They keep us moving forward. Refer to universe 25 experiment. Creepy stuff.
