He's right, but fuck Putin. Insanely corrupt and evil and massively hypocritical. I'd take anything he says with a grain of salt.

There is a saying in Russia: if they foreigners detest our leaders, then they are doing something good.

I'm sure such thinking boded the Russians really well around the time of Stalin and the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Hell, how's it going for you guys lately with Putin? You enjoying being under the helm of a man who built himself a one billion dollar mansion? A man who poisons his political rivals so no one but him can be elected? Has your government gotten that fully monitored and censored internet up and functional yet? How's the freedom of speech in Russia these days? Yes, clearly your leaders have done and continue to do your people real well.

Name a national leader who isn't all these things. I'll just wait here, twiddling my thumbs.

That's an incredibly simplistic non-argument. Not all national leaders are the same. You don't honestly believe all leaders are at the same level of corruption and hypocrisy around the world, do you?

Still waiting...

Dude, your argument was bad. It doesn't merit an answer. Nobody owes you anything. If you honestly think you made a valid point, you're mentally retarded. Now go away.
