Putin, the next President of the United States
Putin, the next President of the United States
Would it be that bad? Of course it would, he’s is a communist.
There I said it. The one thing that the entire world is absolutely reluctant to admin when dealing with Putin. Let there be no doubt in your minds that this man has one ambition: To return Russia to its former glory days of the Soviet Union. Glory days is a sarcastic, contemptuous antonym for the most decrepit center of existence that was active in post-world war II Europe. This was the purest form of mind and spiritual control that has been known to modern man in recent history.
Fact: Putin will not and does not want to deal with Europe, the US, most of South America, Australia, parts of Asia and Africa. The leader of the current Russian Federation does not care about the rest of the world unless a specific country would like to become part of the “old regime”.
Fact: There will no democracy in Russia. If you are under some spell that the winds of change will waft over into Putingrad, you must be smokin’ some serious crack.
I realize that this article will probably ban me and my family from ever venturing into the lovely city of St. Petersburg (From what I understand, it’s quite lovely, actually).
At the heart of Putin is a KGB agent that has lived up to his true potential, a megalomaniac. He proved to the world that he will risk the entire welfare of his country to achieve a goal.
Let us initially take a look at the most recent historical facts. He waltzed into Crimea like he owned the place. If you speak to certain Russians, even those outside of Russian, they will tell you that Crimea was part of mother Russia during Tsarist times. Which is factually correct. The half year long Russian/Ukrainian conflict has spurned limited response from the West. Yes, Sanctions. But are they really working or is Russia try to avert a cash crisis with the decrease in commodity prices. The answer will need to play itself out for a bit of time before a final analysis can be rendered.
Laws do not exist in Russia. Putin is the law. He has an 80% plus approval rating. He is seen as restoring order in a Wild West environment (i.e. early 1990’s). The elderly have a pension that can live on, the young have an education. The working families are employed and can put food and Vodka on the dinner table. This is exactly what the soviet era was about.
Recent military maneuvers by the Russians resulted in NATO issuing “concern” over the actions.
No, we are not leaving out the elephant in the room. The MH17 downed passenger jet. Outside of economic sanctions, what did the west actually do? NOTHING. This was the ultimate pussy-footing reaction that Putin yearns to see.
The one item that is potentially lethal to Russia is the falling prices of commodities. If the west can orchestrate a financially engineered collapse of the energy, commodity, and raw material markets without single handedly destroying western countries, this would be the proverbial coup d’état.
The most recent military activity indicates Russia’s desire to bring the former block countries back to “Mother Russia”. This man yearns for the return of the Iron Curtain. On a megalomaniac scale of 0 – 10, he probably scores an 8.375. He has his dirty little fingers in every part of the Russian economy. Western banks have a difficult time tracking down source of funds as they may be colluded with the Putin regime.
Sources in the EU indicate that government leaders prefer to assuage this individual instead of antagonizing him, the proverbial “poking the bear”. Secretly, conversations around Europe mention that Putin may be “a few sandwiches short of a full picnic setting”. (wink, wink)
Internally, Russia is allowing faster citizenship tracks to acquire more young men available for the draft.
No political leader in their right mind has any desire to start a massive military offensive with the Russians. Think of the implications on global politics, macro economies, and the financial markets.
So here is my prediction:
Putin will continue to do as he pleases. What happens in Russia, stays in Russia. From a military perspective, the more emergency meetings the EU and NATO have on the Ukraine situation without much resolution, the more empowering it is to the Putin Regime. Putin understands that NATO, EU, and the US is more or less “powerless” with respect to military retribution.
The financial side is where things can hurt Putin and Russia. 50% of Russian revenues come from commodities and energy. Oil hovering below $80 per barrel is certainly a strain on the economy. The Ruble at multi month lows points to difficulties for international companies transacting business in Russia. Obviously, the low ruble hurts the Russians ability to profit from their energy supply lines. This is why Russia is so keen on transacting trade with China, specifically energy and commodities. Remember, China as a tight grasp on the fluctuation of the Yuan. It’s a match made in the early Soviet Era, literally.
Short of a massive commodity and energy price collapse, Putin will continue to show his prowess. Global leaders will focus on the diplomatic approaches but will fall short of anything decisive. Putin already knows this fact.
Outside of an internal military coup, massive debilitating sanctions, financial ruin within the Russian government, destruction of the revenue streams, any Western based news we see regarding Putin’s regime will be pure lip service.
Disclosure:
I did not bring up the oligarchs in this article, as I enjoy feeling my own pulse in the morning.

You claim Putin is a Communist, but you provide little evidence. That he wants to restore the glory of Russian empire is nationalism not communism. I see very little to suggest that he thinks the US and EU are powerless. If when I disagree with the Tylers, I can respect a well argued stance. This is a string of assertions disguised as an essay. Sophmoric might not to too harsh a judgment.
What is the difference, at this moment, in Commie Russia and the USA? Rule of law? Courageous leadership? Respect for individual rights? Democracy vs. Socialism? Warmongering? Overpowering govenment control ruling every aspect of life? The Ruskies ignore the lies and murderous acts of Stalin, while Americans ignore a shredded Constitution and an illegal president born in Kenya to a Leninist father. Is there any difference found in maniacal egoist leadership? Or is is found in a dumbed down population intent only in getting its instant, daily, gratfication jollies? Gee, which nation are we talking about here. I'm confused now.
Seems as if Momma Russia has moved closer to what Uncle Sam used to be, while the USA is as much or more commie than the USSR in the 1950's. Sure, Vald is a commie. He's open and honest about that. Never hid that for a moment. So the author of this article is not the first to say that. More like the last.
How about our guy? Pretty honest and trustworthy is he, or is His Imamship an islamic infiltrator? Both have an idea of remaking your world and mine. Only one of them currently has any sway over my life, so which one-- which enemy-- is closest and more a threat?
Putin is collecting gold and has kicked out the Rothschild Central Bank from Russia. Therefore he probably supports a return to gold backed genuine money. Gold is Kryptonite to the criminal Central Bankers who control the West.
Therefore Putin supports a world liberation movement of genuine money that will unseat our oppressors. Russia was the first country to ban all GMO food imports and GMOs, vaccines, poison-based agriculture and many more poison delivery systems all work to enslave western peoples through toxic injury by these western central bank criminals.
You can villify the expansionist, communist Putin but no-one can rival the criminals controlling America and enslaving it's people.
Putin is our hero along w/ China who will overthrow these psychopaths.
Oh, and MH17 was definitely a "false flag" operation by the Yats/Poroshenko regime and CIA/Mossad.
Why would Putin or the East Ukr rebels want any civilian dead over their territory?
--> Putin, the next President of the United States
--> How about an American Constitutionalist as President of America
Hmmm? Let me see here. Putin has no connections with anyone? No, none at all-he owns the brics, has bypassed Europe and is doing deals hand over fist in S. america, the far east, especially China have bent over backwards to do gas deals. Egypt has fallen onto his lap like a ripe fruit, Iran is his and so is Syria. He's deeply regarded by the Europeans, even though their Goverments are NWO shills. YEA , I GUEESS YOU'RE RIGHT HE'S ALL ALONE OUT THERE!
this guys name is pivotfarm? frank zappas son?
Ever listened to any of Putin's speeches? Obviously not. Totally ignorant. What a drag.
Stupid ZHers taking the strong man bait.
Bullshit propaganda article, where the author poses his unmerited, opinions as facts...<
Putin is a Communist.
This is the stupidest statement I have heard for some time now. A bit like saying that Merkel is a Nazi.
Putin is not a communist, you buy business protection in Russia for a fixed price from authorized distrubutors, you get to do whatever you want after that. I see a lot more wealthy Russians in Florida buying expensive real estate than I do Americans when I'm in Russia I see an awful lot of people driving nice cars compared to United States.

This reads like it was written by a twelve-year-old who paid attention in social studies.
Why do statists have to be so fucking stupid? This is nothing but a mismash of belief systems having no bearing upon the mafia that rules the world.
Pivotfarm, please step away from the Kool-Aid!
I was waiting for the /sarc tag at some point in the article. Never came. Huh.
"Putin, the next President of the United States"
Why, did something happen to the current presidents, Obama and Netanyahu?!
An American, not US subject.
What a dumb article, full of ignorant statements and prejudice with a good dose of smelly, mainstream propaganda.
Fact 1: Putin is making plenty of extraordinary deals in South America, Asia, Africa and he would love to deal with the US, Europe and Australia. However, the AngloZionist world does not like to deal with anyone who is not subservient to it.
Fact 2: Putin is not buying into the western concepts of “democracy”. He tends to call a spade a spade; in his own words: “The Western world is in the clutches of corporate dictatorship; it is inhumane and deceitful with a highest from of legalized corruption called Lobbying.”
Laws do exist in Russia and the majority of people in Russia are far more free then the majority of sheeple in the west. They have more varieties of diverse opinions, they discuss it freely, and don’t mind to change their minds when they see a good reason for this. Moreover, nobody would give a shit if you’re anti-Putin, or pro-Putin… so, if you want to go to the lovely city of St. Petersburg – you can and you should, it will do you some good.
“No political leader in their right mind has any desire to start a massive military offensive with the Russians. Think of the implications on global politics, macro economies, and the financial markets.”
There doesn’t seem to be any political leaders in the west who’re sane or uncorrupted. They will do whatever they are told to do by their financial donors.
"What was left to do, for the moment, is to challenge Putin in order to drag Russia in an endless attrition war in East Ukraine and this explains to a degree Putin's hesitation to act like he did in Crimea. Against Russian army, of course, the West will not risk to put an organized military force, but only teams of mercenaries of private armies, as already did. It is certain, however, that, despite that the global economic oligarchy has lost valuable time because of its wrong moves, it will not give up its plans for Russia easily ..."

This item is nonsense propaganda. Zero Hedge should be more selective.
I don't think there's a gatekeeper for these submissions at the top of the page. I've quit reading nearly all of them.
It's good to have a dissenting view from time to time.
It's good to have a dissenting view from time to time.
based on your views, bullshit is also a 'dissentive view'
... have at it and eat it with the large [dissentive] dipper
Dissenting views are fine -- this is just childish drivel from a high school adolescent.
He has a big ego. He wants to be recognized. He wishes not to be a push-over for Western hegemony. He is also a Leader. He gets things done. He has the respect of his people. With that now out of the way, how many military bases, outposts, incursions, coups, takeovers, bombings or other adventures into the soveriegn lands of other nations worldwide, does Russia currently have again...?
you wrote:
"he’s is a communist."
LOL...that's a good one. A clue for you--there has NEVER been ANYONE in charge of ANY nation on earth who has been a communist. Period.
Another clue for you: leaders always say they are one thing, but they are another. Corporations say that, too. Used car salesmen also tell lies.
Clue for you: people lie.
Now go get yer shine box...
History seems to repeat itself, or at least rhyme. The zionist leaders have now declared war on Russia - just as world jewry declared war on Germany in the 1930's and which brought about that country's (and Europe's) devastation. Putin should surrender before WW3 mushroom clouds and radiation, worse than Hiroshima, destroys his country and probably most of Europe. (Better to live and fight another day than to be dead and gone). The main reasons for the tribe's wrath are: 1. Punishment for Russia's inability to glorify uncle Karl Marx's communist ideology in the 20th century 2. Russia's recent blocking greater israel's designs in the ME (eg. Syria, Iran) 3. Russia attempting to create a stronger economic block with the BICS, bypassing the US petrodollar reserve currency and 4. Russia trying to control it's own vast natural resources without sacrificing them completely to the tribal bankers.
Indeed, but they are cautious and wary of the Chinese - and now, will so be with the Russians given the two nation's rapidly accelerating 'friendship'. After all, the Chinese are a 5000 year-old civilization too and have had time enough to perfect the art of deception all the same, so from a purely strategic standpoint, they represent a more difficult obstacle for the tribal bankers to control.
The Author's head is lost in the 1950's and the bogeymen of his Parent's generation, while ignoring the socio-facism of the West and its corrupt kleptocrats and oligarchs.
Putin at least is intelligent, not a mealy-mouthed equivocator nor bullshitter, and respects the Eastern Orthodox faith and other traditions that are the foundation of his culture.
+1
Hot garbage, but you had to know it was sensationalized click bait right from the title.
I'll answer one question from it: "Outside of economic sanctions, what did the west actually do?"
Simple: They helped keep the most important evidence from surfacing.
Who is this pivotfarm shithead anyway? This isn't the first piece of complete and utter crap I've read from him/her/it/
Certainly is the last that I'll read.
C'mon now, if we didn't have the opportunity to read tripe like this, how would we know who the idiots/.gov stooges are? ZH is doing God's work.
right? I was open to reading this piece until I hit that, stopped right there.
Putin/Ventura 2016. The purge of the New Bolsheviks. Navy SEALS and Delta Force hunt them down worldwide. Let it begin.
Lots of assumptions in this article.
For example: MH17...what about it. The underlying assumption is (I guess) that Putin shot it down.
That is doubtful. What is clear is that the Ukes have not released the singulatly most important piece of data, the ATC audio. So when you rest your arguments on such assumptions (and an abundance of opinion) it is difficult to take you seriously.
The fact is that nothing in this article proves anything about Puty or his ambitions. If you take him at face value and listen to his words then they say quite the opposite of what you contend.
Those of us who grew up in the cold war and have watched the US response to Russia after 1991 it seems we still have a bone to pick with the Russians. After 9/11 we responded with war rather than reaching out to the rest of the world to help us deal with radical Islam. Russia would have beena natural ally in that effort.
I'm not ready to condemn Putin nor to give the USA the benefit of the doubt.
Show me data and keep your opinions to yourself.
"If you take him at face value and listen to his words then they say quite the opposite of what you contend."
Why on earth would you take anything a politician says at face value? You analyze the intent of politicians by examining their actions - even then it's problematic.
I'd suggest ditching the Putin vs. USA meme that ZH-ers seem to love and condemn both until one is proven worthy of a thumbs up.
The ZH meme is idiotic. You don't have to canonize Putin to have issues with an autocratic, overly-secretive and incoherent US government. I mean, it is theoretically possible that scumbags run both countries. And I'd be willing to argue scumbags run all countries. Except Lichtenstein. I don't know enough about them - they're very tiny.

I always start with the assumption that what I'm being told is the truth. It only takes one lie to undo that trust but that is just me.
It generally works well on a personal level though I have been taken more than once.
Politicians are hard to read knowing that they don't deal in clarity. Putin's body language seems sincere. I don't speak Russian and I'm not a body language expert but listening to Obama causes right upper quadrat pain, waves of nausea and a tic of my right eye brow. I don't get those when I listen to Puty.
9-11 was an excuse for war to happen, dont kid yourself. we had no other "reason"
Fact: You are a Soros shill!
Fact: you are a Soros shill!
Fact: you are a Soros schill!
So Putin, the communist understands what gold, (ie real capital is) and the western capitalists do not?
I would give the author a "C" for this article. I hope that this grade doesn't prevent him from getting promoted to his sophomore year in high school.
Yeah, wow, that dangerous KGB... I would much rather have the (fully accountable) NSA, IRS, DOJ, Homeland Security, etc., etc., etc., And yes, Putin obviously shot down MH17, I wouldn't want to be a deny-er.
Fully accountable NSA, IRS, DOJ, HS? Perhaps I misundestand your comment (being sarcastic?), but it's pretty clear there is little to no accountability there currently. I don't see how the NSA, IRS, DOJ, and HS are all that different than the KGB itself. The name KGB evokes throughts of James Bond finding them waiting behind a mirror, recording and filming him, while he is in a hotel in Moscow. This is perhaps not even half as bad as what the NSA is capable of doing and IS doing on a daily basis to Americans.
Yes my point exactly. There is no accountability in anything the government does; that is why all the secrecy. The MSM propaganda machine covers it up from view and labels Putin as a thug when the US government is the biggest thug around. Sorry, should have put "fully accountable" in quotes
Somebody destroyed the US constitution, destroyed the US economy, opened the borders and launched the pointless GWOT.
It wasn't Putin. I don't lose any sleep over Putin.
Putin doesn't want a return of the Soviet Union. He's not a communist. Perhaps he does long for the days of the Russian empire, but do not mistake this for the Soviet Union. He is a political thug and likes power, but I would consider him not half as bad as most of the Russian politicians. Putin does seem to genuinely want his countrymen to be proud of their country and is very savvy on the world stage in counteracting American hegemony. So no, I don't think he would make a good US president, but that is only because he doesn't embody the principles our our founding.
Putin would make a great President - but he's far too intelligent and principled for American taste. Obama is more Marxist than Putin is Communist. This is a shallow hit piece - US/NATO/Israel have been probing Russia for weakness in the hopes of pulling off a coup to capture Russia - the only reason it hasn't received the Iraq/Lybia treatment is that it can hit back. I vote Putin !
Yeltsin brought Putin, an unknown, to the Russian Jewish oligarchs as a pliable replacement for himself. The oligarchs erroneously approved of Putin. I don't know if the whole thing was an accident or Yeltsin had something up his sleeve but Russia was incredibly lucky to have ended up with Putin, intelligent democratic selection had nothing to do with it.
well, one thing we could count on, he wouldnt constantly try to provoke russia into a war
Ythefuknot???? Already have an illegal indonesian kenyan alien muslim so why not a ruskie since the constitution is ignored byt TPTB. Sure as sh*t better than an ugly old white woman responsible for the murder of 4 Americans in Benghazi....
