JV:So we need a Prez who was a viscious KGB leader that will shut down the opposition press, nationalize our largest oil company and have his critics poisoned with highly radioactive compounds?"I cant help but to admire this guy, he has done great for his contry !!! We need a president like that in the US ......."

M:See above."Putin is the kinda guy that Australia needs as PM"
==================================================================
Bs:Wow, the Putin fanboys are out tonight! Your level of admiration for this guy is bordering on the creepy. Just tell me that you do not have a poster of a bare-chested Putin over your bed.... please?"He's also a friend of Fedor; a judo blackbelt; was head of the KGB; and managed to pacify Chechnya. He hunts bare-chester; takes down oligarchs at will, and subdue's tigers. The guys a badass whichever way you want to look at it."
==================================================================
PJV:I do not understand why everyone is taking what could well be just a phoney staged photop as fact without questioning it at all."Wow ok nobody can call Russia weak anymore, their prime minister took down a mothafvckin tiger."
----------I guess the rise in energy prices had nothing at all to do with that. It was all the work of Mighty Vladamir."Putin revived Russias economy and brought millions of Russians out of poverty while those other pussy oligatrchs all invested in western banks while their fellow russians fell into poverty. Fvck ya Putin deserves the money he has."If he is so much less corrupt that previous leaders, then how did he get so rich? What jobs has he ever held besides being a KGB official and a politican? Last time I checked, those gigs did not pay billionare wages.An excerpt from the Wikipedia entry on Putin:
The flow of petrodollars was the foundation of Putin's regime and masked economic woes. The share of oil and gas in Russia's gross domestic product has more than doubled since 1999 and as of Q2 2008 stood at above 30%. Oil and gas account for 50% of Russian budget revenues and 65% of its exports.[122]
This Moscow Times article sums up with this statement:Yeah, this is the kind of guy we need as Prez.Abundant oil revenues have made it possible for Putin to avoid difficult reforms and to allow his inner circle to indulge in some of the worst corruption the world has ever seen.![]()

Putin 'saves TV crew from tiger'
Man of action: Vladimir Putin holds the tiger's head as the tracking collar is fitted (Reuters: Alexei Druzhinin/RIA Novosti/Kremlin)
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has been feted by Russian media for saving a television crew from an attack by a siberian tiger in the wilds of the country's far east.
Mr Putin, taking a break from lambasting the West over Georgia, apparently saved the crew while on a trip to a national park to see how researchers monitor the tigers in the wild.
Just as he was arriving with a group of wildlife specialists to see a trapped Amur tiger, it escaped and ran towards a nearby camera crew, the country's main television station said.
Mr Putin quickly shot the beast and sedated it with a tranquilliser gun.
"Vladimir Putin not only managed to see the giant predator up close but also saved our television crew too," a presenter on Rossiya television said at the start of the main evening news.
