Putin labels himself world’s sole ‘absolute democrat’ Tuesday, June 05, 2007
MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin has described himself as an “absolute democrat” whose credentials are so pure that he has no peer in the world, a Russian newspaper reported on Monday.
“Of course I am an absolute and pure democrat…the tragedy is that I am the only one, there are simply no others in the world,” he told foreign journalists ahead of this week’s Group of Eight (G8) summit in Germany, the daily Kommersant reported.
“Look at what is happening in North America: The horror, torture, homelessness and Guantanamo with imprisonment without a court or trial,” he told foreign journalists on Friday. afp
I thought President Musharraf was probably the most self-obsessed person i’ve ever known after reading third of his ‘In the line of fire’ book but, Putin has just beaten him.
tell puto to shut up and live with the relegation as a has been superpower which is still begging from the world at large. russia of today reminds me of france.. a has been power that has problems accepting its fall.
he resembles old soviet leaders even more..and that is troubling that he resembles them and the republicans, because i am not sure what it is telling us about our republican leadership.
These white anglo-saxon thugs wanted Russia to be a banana republic which would be told what to do. But Patin doesn't take orders from nobody and wants to take russia to its past glory when it was a much stronger country !!!!

Congratulatoins, you have narrowed down your racist comments to just the anglo saxon whites. Pretty soon maybe it will just be blond-haired, blue-eyed anglo saxons that are on the receiving end of your ire.
It's going to take a lot more than a beligerant stance by a government stripping away its peoples' rights to regain past glory.

At least Putin doesn't invade other countries, nor does he run abu-ghraib or guantanamo like prison where innocent people are tortured and covered with feces.
More people around the world according to polls are scared of the neocon bush USA then russia.

I wouldn't bet on it. How do you know what goes on in his secret prisons where people are dying all the time?
He may not have a publicly known abu ghraib, but he does engage in extrajudicial executions, arrests, and extortion of Muslims, strips away people's rights, imprisons or kills political opponents and journalists and is otherwise turning Russia into a banana republic-like totalitarian regime. What do you expect man, he is white!
