The Unofrtunate Rise Of Valdimir Putin

The Unofrtunate Rise Of Valdimir Putin

I have been impressed with what Putin has done as a leader. This does not mean I am a champion for Putin, it just means that leadership, which is so lacking in America these days, is a breath of fresh air for those who recognize it. The fact it comes from a Russian President is incredibly ironic from an Americans point of view.

Don’t take this post the wrong way, I was taught throughout my life that Russia was our enemy, that the Old Soviet Union has fallen does not change the fact that Putin would like to rebuild that legacy which puts him at odds with America. I’m an American, enough said, but I still did not understand the high regard I had for Putin until I read this:

Simply put, Vladimir Putin is the stuff of Western progressive nightmares because he’s what they thought they’d gotten past. He’s a traditional male with “outmoded” views on, well, everything: gender relations, race, sexual identity, faith, the use of violence, the whole retrograde package. Putin at some level is the Old White Guy that post-moderns fear and loathe, except this one happens to control the largest country on earth plus several thousand nuclear weapons – and he hates us.

Steve Sailer has pointed out quite a few times that American elites seem to have the biggest problem with Putin over homosexuals. Over the last two decades, having a homosexual on your piety bracelet has been the hallmark of progressive fashion. It is so well established now that it is inconceivable to them that any civilized person would have a contrary opinion on homosexual marriage, homosexual rights and so forth. It is why young males today work so hard to adopt bathhouse fashion, going so far as to get beard transplants so they can look like a young George Michael.

This is fundamentally why Obama has been repeatedly humiliated by Putin. It is not simply that Obama is a thumbless klutz. While it is true that American foreign policy is run by rather foolish people with little going for them other than useless credentials, the real reason is Putin needs to do it. His NYTimes piece after outfoxing Obama over Syria was more than a victory lap. It was a signal to his people that he is not just smarter than the American leader. Putin is different in kind from the Americans and their European toadies. A part of building his new culture in Russia is defining it as different and, of course, uniquely Russian. The fact that it is a winner closes the sale. Keep reading

    1. Tim – Astonishing really. I knew that progressives were doing damage but they have destroyed the very fabric of the country. Damage that can’t be undone in an election.

      1. Unfortunately, Tim is right. And the entire fault lies at the feet of the Ayatollah Obama. Putin is playing The Ayatollah like a cheap fiddle and Obama blissfully goes on his merry way lying about just about anything and everything that he thinks of.
        I read on the Grouchy Old Cripple some months ago that Putin said that negotiating with Obama is like playing chess with a pigeon. He knocks over all the pieces, shits on the board, then struts around like he has won the game.
        The only thing left for those of us who want this country turned around is to get a lot more Republicans, real Republicans, not the John McCain types, elected into enough Senate seats to get a majority and put Dirty Harry Reid out to pasture. With any luck that pasture could have a headstone in place.
