My new Putin avatar...

They say that a photograph speaks a thousand words. So I wasn't really inclined to use much text in this post, but since that is the rule, here goes.

I don't know about you all, but I see a kid beaming with intelligence. Even at this young age, he looks like he already knows everything he will ever need to know.

And then there is the PEACE he projects. I don't see a grain of evil in his face, whatever the general conception may be. I see a man of integrity.

This is a man who speaks the truth, you know... like a MAN!

He has a Russian population approval rating of 85%. And of the remaining 15%, the majority finds him too soft on foreign policy...

He doesn't throw cheap and degrading insults at his opponents. He has manners.

Hearing this man speak is always refreshing after all the childish crap being spewed by our western politicians.

This man has peace in his heart. Can you see it?

Oh, and he looks almost exactly like my dad. No kidding.

He has dead eyes in that photo.
I don't mind the chap for some things but he isn't what you have described.

So a Russian mobster,billionaire oligarch is your hero ?

Well alrightie then.

I just don't get idolatry.

I really don't.

Putin's opponents getting killed, doesn't mean that he is the one ordering those killings. Think about that for a minute.

With this, I am also admitting that he is not the one making all the right moves for Russia. All I am saying is that this guy is not evil, and has tons of integrity.

You may see dead eyes, but I see very focussed eyes. Focussed on you and the rest of us.

I normally don't either. But decades of watching our own leaders lying through their teeth, and being idolised for it, have changed me for just this once.

One guy i know who looks like a doppelganger to him is an alcholic and misuse prescription drugs. He is also quite intelligent but drank his job and future.
Point is young face doesn´t tell what kind of man he is going to grow up to. And what comes to black and white images they always have "nostalgic " feeling and always look better than colored ones.

Putin also had a serious drinking problem when he was working in St.Petersburg

Oh and OP.

Get a room!

Some of the best people I know have a drinking problem. My post was about integrity and peace. What the hell does that have to do with drinking alcohol??

As a child and during that era you have picture from him. He was a thug and he wanted to call himself rather "Bully than a pioneer"
East German intelligence called him philanderer and a wife beater

I guess some folks sees him as a great role model....



You said "My post was about integrity and peace."


"My post was about integrity and peace."


Hmmm... he looks quite peaceful in that pic

I see sadness in his eyes not peace but who he was then is not who he is now , as we grow and experience we change.

I'm sure that if you try hard enough, you will find a pic of yourself in which you don't look so peaceful either.

It is possible to feel sadness and peace at the same time.

Sorry OP but I find this type of hero worship a little odd and unhealthy.

Something we may all discover soon enough if Mr Putin continues to stir the pot.

What exactly is odd and unhealthy about admiring someone's qualities?
