Except of course, the big W, who met his soul mate and fairly swooned when looking into those eyes.

[randys1]

[CBGLuthier]

[madokie]

11. Mikhail was the last sane leader they've had

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Gorbachev
Best I remember he actually had a heart and cared for what was the right thing to do, in most circumstances. I admit that my old brain may be slipping and I just flat out don't remember things as they really were.

Butcher comes to mind right now.

[Journeyman]

All that's missing is the AK-47 strapped across his shoulder.

[maddezmom]

9. Agree...but you really need a warning in the subject line.

[madokie]

10. I really really don't like this fella' either

In fact if there is a more dangerous person in the world I wouldn't know who it is.
puttie putt putt is a crazy person on so many fronts.
Kinda' like I think of our own bonehead, too much booze flowed through those veins too many years for he/them to have a rational thought in their brain

[Hekate]

28. Oh, Vlad is rational all right. He's just a stone cold KGB killer is all.

Yeah, look into those eyes. And see his "soul." The Abyssal depths will stare back at you.

[sufrommich]

12. He basically is beloved by the Russian version of people

who adore Ronald Reagan,worshipers of that hyper macho, phony cowboy lovin' tough guy,morons who miss the non existent good old days.He's a teabagger.

[jillan]

14. Well that just proves one thing about you....

You are a Democrat.

Comical and just in jest.

[BillZBubb]

30. Sadly, Vlad is very popular in his own country.

From a Russian point of view, you have to admit he's done well--he annexed Crimea without having to go to war.
