What many in the West don't get is that many Russians are a patriotic
lot, and hardy in their nationalism, and with the history of the world
since perestroika, they carry now a not insignificant disdain for "the
West".

Putin really is the most moderate politician that is actually
acceptable/ electable in Russia.

And this is not a comment on the particular man, Vladimir Putin, but on
the political positions or nature of him - by Russian sensibilities he
is very moderate, excessively accomodating to the Western regimes, and a
bit too much of a "weak pussy" who ought to have stepped in and
militarily protected the Donbass (the area where the Russian people in
Eastern Ukraine live), should teach the West a royal lesson in Syria,
and generally dish out some Russian justice to the axis of Western evil.


Let's make no mistake, the average Russian sees things just a little
differently to the average USAian :)
