He's dreamy. Ever seen him ride a bear with no shirt on, half-nude? Folks, don't get much better than that. putin-wink

That picture of him was in my high school textbook. Wonder who decided on that

Putin was portrayed as a hot, silly and harmless super villain until he started being a pain towards Western interests.

I think Putin is a piece of shit but the shift in media presentation is fascinating and telling.

He used to be seen somewhat as an ally of the USA against Islamic Terrorism

He was the first head of state to call GW Bush when 9/11 happened and offered support from Russia’s end. So keen to be friends with the US lol.

Seriously that PR campaign fucked him up. Who came up with that?

Putin is a soft hearted liberal bureaucrat who just wanted to do business with Europe and had been kicking the Ukraine problem down the road for years. There are hardliners in Russia taking far more extreme positions than Putin’s when it comes to confronting the West.
