Valdimir Putin, the George W. Bush of Russia

[MohRokTah]

The Russian economy is tanking but his popularity in Russia keeps going up, mostly because of his tough guy bullshit.

The Russians have been infected with the Dumbass virus that spread across the US in the early part of this century.

1. I'm pretty sure that Israel has it too...

There's been a huge expansion in RW BS pedalling around the world.

2. The dumbass is still here in America if the Senate goes, Republican infection remission is over.

We still have the low grade fever and have to throw up from time to time. Viral Infection is a good analogy for this disease.

3. They are BFFs!

Dubya and Putin Twinkies!

4. Putin is smart and strategic. bush is an imbecile.

Putin gained the Crimea for Russia without a war. bush gained nothing for the US but two failed wars and tons of debt.

Both are amoral, economically inept, and play the tough guy. So, there are similarities.

5. Putin is smart and strategic. bush is an imbecile.

I doubt the people in Russia have much of a choice in Presidents, but Bush was self inflicted, I tried to warn people about Bush but sadly to no avail!

I don't think Putin is a genius, when things are going your way you look smart, but you can lose control of wars real quick!

6. They both

have had certain news networks spread propaganda for their agendas, but while Putin has been popular throughout his presidency, Bush ll's approval rating actually took a serious nose-dive as the years passed, and was in the low 20s near the end of his term. Nevertheless, they both are far more liked among American RWers than Obama ever will be.
