BLD would have this amateur running for the safety of his protection detail in a showdown!

It seems Vlad is actually Conor McLeod of the Clan McLeod, and he is immortal.

Putin pours fresh scorn on Turkey for downing Russian jet

Russian President Vladimir Putin has used crude language in a furious new attack on Turkey over the shooting down of a Russian combat jet last month.
"The Turks", he said, had "decided to lick the Americans in a certain place".
He was giving his wide-ranging annual news conference.
Touching on next year's US presidential election, the Russian leader called Donald Trump a "very colourful, talented person" and the "absolute frontrunner in the presidential race".
Mr Putin is now into his third term as president since 2000, battling an economic crisis. Critics say civil liberties have been steadily eroded under his rule.
He remains one of the world's most recognisable politicians, and has topped the list of The World's Most Powerful People compiled by Forbes magazine for the third year running.
On other issues raised at the news conference, President Putin
Praised Sepp Blatter and suggested the suspended head of Fifa should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Said Russia was against doping as it "destroyed the principle of competitive sport", and anyone found guilty should be punished
Denied Russian regular troops were deployed in rebel-held eastern Ukraine but said there could be "people there who were carrying out certain tasks including in the military sphere"
Brushed aside media reports about one of his daughters, saying both lived in Russia and were "not involved in politics or business"
Predicted economic growth in Russia the new year of 0.7%, rising to 1.9% in 2017 and 2.4% in 2018, based on oil at $50 a barrel

Vladimir Putin: Russia's action man president

Analysis by Philippa Roxby, BBC News
Ever noticed that Russian President Vladimir Putin has an unusual walking style? He does not swing his right arm much at all when he walks - instead all the movement is on the left side of the body, giving him a very distinct lop-sided gait.
A team of European neurologists analysed countless YouTube videos of the president and other top Russian officials to find out why.
They discovered that they all had a similar gait, and it is probably linked to their KGB military training which requires them to keep their weapons close to their chest or in the right hand, giving them time to draw a gun on an unexpected enemy. As a result, only the left arm moves freely.
So President Putin officially has a "gunslinger's gait" - but doctors should be aware that a reduced right arm swing can also be an early sign of Parkinson's disease too, the British Medical Journal research says.

Vladimir Putin is pretty much trolling the whole world.

Actually he's pretty well making a complete c u n t of himself.

Mr Putin praised Fifa's suspended president, Sepp Blatter, for his contribution to the sport. And the Russian leader repeated his belief that Mr Blatter deserves a Nobel prize for his efforts.

He's a kunt, and won't last too much longer.

When will the Troll touché Turkey. Only a matter of time.

**KEVIN2008** · 19-12-2015, 01:27 AM

Trump thinks Putin is fabulous also. It’s a mutual appreciation thing. A pair of psychos seeing one in the other. Gotta give him credit, he knows how to work a crowd. I suppose it gets easier when most voices of descent have been unlucky enough to all die in unexplained ways!!

Or did he..?

**sabang** · 19-12-2015, 06:28 AM

Erm, so Vlad walks with a 'gunslingers' gait, and described Republican presidential contender The donald as a colourful and talented. Gripping stuff.

What a dangerous man. Run for the hills.

Like him or not, Putin is pragmatic. And good on him for taking on ISIS (along with others). Russia is closer to ISIS than other nations and look at what Russia is doing with it's ISIS members compared to the UK and USA.

RUSSIAN President Vladimir Putin has warned his armed forces are ready to use "more military means" to obliterate Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria as his fight against the terror group rages on.

Speaking about Russian military presence in Syria, President Putin was quoted as saying: "We see how efficiently our pilots and intelligence agents coordinate their efforts with various kinds of forces - the army, navy and aviation, how they use the most modern weapons.

"I want to stress that these are by far not all of our capabilities. We have more military means. And we will use them - if need be."

This week the iron-fisted leader ramped up his anti-terror crusade as he launched a huge crackdown on ISIS recruiters by calling in his feared secret service to round up thousands of jihadis.

Moscow has identified more than 2,900 of its own citizens suspected of joining ISIS and other radical Islamist groups, and is actively hunting them down both at home and abroad.

In contrast it emerged just hours before that overwhelmed British security services are allowing our homegrown jihadis to leave freely, deciding it is safer to get them out of the country than keep tabs on them.

This month saw Britain answer a rally cry from world leaders after MPs voted in favour at the House of Commons of extending air strikes from Iraq into Syria.

Just a week after the historic vote, Prime Minster David Cameron spoke on the phone with President Putin, and the political pair pledged to work together to finally destroy ISIS.

Or Syrian opposition for example. Or opposition inside Russia.

**sabang** · 20-12-2015, 08:35 AM

Vlad the Triumphant. The setter of examples, and part time naughty boy.

Oooh, looky here now. He said he was going to step in and do something to help eliminate that monstrous evil, and promptly did. With results, on the ground (IS 'fighters', shaving their beards and fleeing?

). Quite a contrast to those that disingenuously talk (a plenty), and then proceed to conspicuously not do, n'est-ce Pas?

Where there's a Will, there's a Way. The US/Nato/RW 'zionist' axis stands shamed in this conflict, cynical meddlers up to no good, but sponsoring an awful lot of human devastation.

^ Jeezus Sabang you used to be a quality poster. You have really fallen full force into the loony bin. Sad.

I noticed the same thing myself.

He was.

**bsnub** · 20-12-2015, 11:23 AM

^ I was noting a general shift to bat shit conspiracies over the years it has gotten noticeably worse. Not commenting on just one post. But how would you know you have only been around since last year. Or have you?

**PeeCoffee** · 20-12-2015, 12:32 PM

I've only been on board a year. I can pick up a trend with some posters.

Curious bsnub (only if you care to share) , what area of the Emerald City do you call home ?

**sabang** · 20-12-2015, 02:34 PM

^^ The US & Nato, certainly up until the Paris slayings, were absolutely not going all out to destroy & incapacitate the Islamists- that is no conspiracy theory. And the Israeli's have been helping Isis- that is no conspiracy theory either. And yes, I do have a long term disdain for Israel- no conspiracy there. So umm, where's the conspiracy theory?

Putin has taken a principled and effective stand against islamic terrorism that, at least in part, has shamed the west into more action. I applaud him.

Yes, but he's also slaughtered thousands of Syrian rebels who are not terrorists, but fighting a civil war against a vicious minority government led by a dead man walking - and all in the name of some weapons sales and a decrepit navy base.

If you applaud that, there is something mentally askew about you.

Actually he has not until they downed the russian plane in Egypt. Up to that point he has concentrated on the Syrian opposition that was already fighting both Assad and ISIS.

Not that they are all forces of good as well.
