Walk like a Putin


Recommended Posts

A team of European neurologists says in a new study that Russian presidentVladimir Putin walks with a peculiar “gunslinger’s gait”.

The study, published on Tuesday by the British Medical Journal, notes that Putin has shown a “clearly reduced right-sided arm swing”, possibly related to weapons training he received when he was part of the Soviet KGB.

Donald Trump has said that he would "get along very well" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.



Apparently, the feeling is mutual.


Putin offered high praise for the billionaire businessman turned Republican presidential front-runner on Thursday during an annual news conference with reporters.


"He is a bright and talented person without any doubt," Putin said, adding that Trump is "an outstanding and talented personality."


And in remarks closely mirroring Trump's own assessment of the race, Putin also offered his assessment of the U.S. presidential campaign, calling Trump "the absolute leader of the presidential race,"

Was watching "Vice" on HBO last night and it was the episode on Putin and Russia. Economic sanctions have really hammered Russia. The ruble is in free fall and Russians are experiencing serious inflation problems. Putin is probably wishing Bush had stayed president and Obama had not rallied the world community against him and Russia

Russia's economic problems are tied to energy prices. Obama has tried to curtail exploration and production but has failed in that regard. Whether Russia would be worse with Bush cannot be determined, but Russia certainly wouldn't be better off with him. As I've stated here numerous times, the way to control Russia is through energy. It wasn't that many years ago that they could hold Europe hostage by threatening to withhold natural gas from them. Now it's a blue light special.
