Including having such a good propaganda machine.I wish we were all a bit more like Putin.
You might want to try asking a few Russians about their opinion of him.Read Vladimir Putin's wikipedia article today, and looked around at some stuff about him on the internet. I never realized it was possible for a man of one of the most despicable professions available could be such a man's man, and furthermore, be so competent. I wish we were all a bit more like Putin.
Actually, regardless of my opinion of the man, Putin's approval rating in Russia is exceptionally high.You might want to try asking a few Russians about their opinion of him.

Just don't be an oppositional journalist.
It's anonymous tumblr asks, don't expect anything worthwhile from it.While this should make me weep for humanity, all I gotta ask is what is it about anonymous comments that make people think a comment like this is actually a good question to ask?

Cus gotta admit, I can't tell if this was a very cleverly constructed troll comment working off the praise/insult/praise form of logic or someone so dense that he thought that this was the type of idea to ask someone flat to the face.

Well, I've never met a Russian that liked him, but I guess Russians who are abroad might be abroad for a reason.Actually, regardless of my opinion of the man, Putin's approval rating in Russia is exceptionally high.

Kim Jong Un's approval rating is through the roof!Actually, regardless of my opinion of the man, Putin's approval rating in Russia is exceptionally high.

Well, there are some countries that are fairly pro-Russian. Belarus and Kazakhstan comes to mind. On the other hand you have countries like Georgia and the Ukraine that shows what happens when former Soviet republics try to align with the west (although the Baltic states did all right). Of course, that's in reference to the political and economic elite, and not in reference to most people. Russia maintains an increasingly more friendly relationship with China, although China isn't as interested in antagonizing the US or the EU as Russia is, since China's economy depends much more on export to those very countries.Or, you know, any of the countries neighboring Russian?
Granted, I do think Putin is a badass, but I wouldn't willingly give him any sort of power. Although, after WW3 the world will have significantly less problems, being an irradiated rock tends to do that...
Well, as much as I think Russia's media is heavily manipulated (moreso than Western, at any rate) I do think Russian approval ratings are reasonably accurate as Russia is a very different beast than North Korea.Kim Jong Un's approval rating is through the roof!
Actually his economic gestures are primarily bent towards helping Gazprom, the state-run oil company in which Putin has major personal interests. Gazprom has also been used as an economic weapon (there's a history of it being used to cut off European states from energy as a strongarm negotiating tactic).At least he actually improves the economy instead of perpetuating and exacerbating an economic black hole that's abused for personal profit and is actually detrimental to the entire world, let alone his own Country.
Whoa. You're talking about three VERY different politicians, one of whom hasn't been elected (and hopefully never will be). Trump is the current frontrunner among Republicans with 30%... which means nothing more than 30% of Republicans are idiots. It also means that 70% are desperate to elect ANYONE ELSE. People also compare Trump to Ronald Reagan, an unfair comparison as Reagan served as a politician in lesser roles for years before attempting to run for president.AT LEAST BETTER THAN OBAMA/BUSH/TRUMP.
You mean improved until Russia got hit by sanctions because of the whole Ukraine thing?At least he actually improves the economy
