All one needs to do is listen to his speeches to see what a great leader sounds like. No wonder he is supported by the vast majority of Russians.

 

If only we had someone like him in France, instead of the little Rothschild employee who openly despises the French people and precipitates us further down the abyss every single day…

I am genuinely at a loss on this one.  I have no idea where they are coming from, but I'm certain it is not a good place.

Please handle it yourself. Have you ever listened to – or read a transcript of – a Putin speech?

not understanding people have differing opinions is the problem.  do you need a safe space to process it?

He refers, among other things, to the Donbass and the way the US-backed Ukrainian government has been treating people there since Maidan. Here is a 2014 article which might help you grasp the reality of what is at stake in this region:

 

For months, the US-backed regime in Kiev has been committing atrocities against its own citizens in southeastern Ukraine, regions heavily populated by Russian-speaking Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. While victimizing a growing number of innocent people, including children, and degrading America’s reputation, these military assaults on cities, captured on video, are generating intense pressure in Russia on President Vladimir Putin to “save our compatriots.” Both the atrocities and the pressure on Putin have increased even more since July 1, when Kiev, after a brief cease-fire, intensified its artillery and air attacks on eastern cities defenseless against such weapons.

Stephen Cohen is considered as being one-sided on this matter. If I remember well, he even acknowledged it.

So....evidence that Ukraine was repressing dissidents in a rebellious region.  How does Russia deal with dissidents?

 

Oh yeah, that's what this topic is about.

Right.  The lingering effects of a near fatal assassination attempt using the Novichok nerve agent, brutal incarcerations, grossly inadequate medical care had nothing to do with it.

 

If you believe that I have a bridge I'd like to sell you.

I have not read a single speech by Putin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, or other tyrants.  I judge them by their deeds.

I didn't get it. 

Novichok is WMD to be used in battlefields, not as Bruce Willis did in "Jackal" movie. Well, whatever

Oh yeah, that's what this topic is about.

 

Evidence that the Ukrainian government, backed by the Western establishment after the removal of President Yanukovych, has been relentlessly repressing, humiliating and killing the Donbass population, the vast majority of which is culturally Russian and speaks Russian as a first language. From that same article:

 

Considering those preceding events, but above all the country’s profound historical divisions, particularly between its western and eastern regions—ethnic, linguistic, religious, cultural, economic and political—the rebellion in the southeast, centered in the industrial Donbass, was not surprising.

 

[...]

 

But by declaring an “anti-terrorist operation” against the new protesters, Kiev signaled its intention to “destroy” them, not negotiate with them.

 

[...]

 

Zealous, barely trained and drawn mostly from central and western regions, Kiev’s new recruits have escalated the ethnic warfare and killing of innocent civilians. (Episodes described as “massacres” soon also occurred in Mariupol and Kramatorsk.)

Quite possible. But the article ignores plenty of other facts that don't support Cohen's stance.

He said something like he knew his articles were one-sided, but articles are too short to show contradicting facts.

He's from the old "peace" mouvement and has always been naive re Soviet Union and Russia.

 

Anyway, too bad he's dead.
