PUTIN is a 4th DAN Japanese Judo-Kan

A highly respected world competitor;

He has a PHD in International Affairs, and worked in the KGB as an accountant, he was NOT a wet-ops guy;

I suspect because of his accounting role he rose to the highest levels of finance in the KGB, and he was mentored by Kissinger early on,

I'm most impressed with his JUDO, that right there shows he is NOT a quitter in anything;

He's a nationalist but he's also a globalist, but then he could have had an open mind and just gone to WEF DAVOS meetings to see the Bullshit with his own eyes.

....

Compared to all our western leaders PUTIN is a giant among men.

Look at USA bush, clinton, obama, biden, trump? Whats the common here? Silver spoon CIA cucks

The only diff is that Trump got his training from kosher-nostra as a faux-goyim bagman, but essentially all working for the same mob; ( bagman - laundered kosher-nostra mob money for casinos as a faux goyim into real estate ); But not to degrade Trump, all the CIA guys like Clinton, Obama, & Bush1/2 ran cocaine for CIA;

...

I suspect when the harelips in west say Putin is a dangerous man, what they mean is that he's not a bought&paid cuck, or a homo-pedophile who is owned; The one common denominator in all USA pol's is that they're owned

Putin is dangerous because he doesn't dance to the homo-pedo circus ring leader;

I agree with you that Vlademir Vlademerovich Putin is a giant among men. I also agree with your assessment of Western "leaders". The cucks are getting replaced by girls as you know.

Any 'girl' on the street could kill any of our listed USA POTUS cucks with their finger nail in a nano-second, so saying the girls will take over is actually an insult to the girls

This is like kicking puppys or kittens.

I guess I should have been more specific. I'm referring to 5th Wave Femi-Nazis behind the "Future is Female" and Transgender insanity. Consider the Affirmative Action and Equity movements they champion. The entire West is being taken over by this and destroying children and civilization.

Yes, its actually quite brilliant the enemy's of the west don't have to do shit, in 1-2 generations all the assholes on earth will just be gone, and nobody has to be blame, history will say that the Western Civilization, just suddenly 'suicided itself'' with 2-3 shots to the back of the head;

No where on earth will there be any pity of a modern Sodom&Gomorah suddenly going insane and doing a full Grenada Kool-Aide suicide , JONES-TOWN USA rah-rah

I'm happy with your reply. You repeated what I write everywhere possible. It gets suppressed on Google and I get put in the doghouse on Twitter but I keep hammering away.

I can't judge genuine emotions versus propaganda when film crews are present but found the video fascinating, and don't believe that Putin is the Pope... err... I mean the Devil.

It's common practice to demonise one's opposition. The gods of the old religions become the devils of the new. The same in politics, though nationalism often reframes dead politicians as something more admirable.

Putin is a dangerous man. I wouldn't want to be his opposition. But he's also a strong believer in his country, a pragmatist, an adapter and clever.

Although it contravenes my fantasy, some countries seem better off with a strongman. Our fickle Western politicians, grown in dollar laboratories by the insanely rich, cannot comprehend that reality. Although I don't consider Putin to be a Gadaffi or Hussein, Libya and Iraq were better off before being rescued by democratic Christian bombs.

It’s said that history does not repeat itself but rhymes. Having listened to many deep dive history podcasts (currently listening to a whole series about the collapse of civilisations - just finished Carthage) .. I’d say that someone is running the tapes from the beginning. There’s literally nothing new under the sun.

Most of all, mass gullibility remains as stale and as popular as The Days of Our Lives.

There's nothing Christian about American and NATO bombs. America, which knows only the god Money and its lackey, lies, has absolutely nothing Christian about it. So please don't mix Christianity with the rottenness of American politics.

American politics cannot exist without the church being culpable. Every President courts the Christian vote, and the churches court them. That is the nature of power (especially celebrity).

It’s like the Kaiser. Before WWI he was feted and swooned over as a jolly good fellow, and if I recall correctly was invited to the US at some point to be lauded. As the war got under way the British propaganda machine turned him into the devil incarnate which is how he was perceived for the next 4 years. In the late 20s a book about the ‘Great War’(can’t recall the title) revealed that he had almost no influence on it. Humans have a long history of making up shit. Also , happy to turn a blind eye when it suits them e.g., the US providing huge quantities of military aid to Stalin in WW2.

Thanks Julian for that, but a few comments:

1. The music is not helping. I mean if you have some details about the different pictures and clips, where they're from etc., it would be great to put that into a voiceover explaining the details and telling more of his story. (I appreciate what you have previously written about him.)

2. I don't know if you've read Philip Short's biography of Putin, but it also brings him to life as a real person, not as an avatar of evil. That could certainly help with a "script" to go with this film.

3. I hope there's a part two as this is really just his life until he becomes president from what I can see.

Thanks. I don't care for the BGM much either. But this is not MY video! It is done by an amateur. Which is one of its charms. Take a look at Julius' post below for other sources. I will post another video --with ...ummm....different music. And a bigger budget.

Thanks Julian. And thanks to Bilbo and Geoffrey for the extra tips. My biggest concern is that Russophobia in US and Canada is going to get us all into a bigger war. I wish there was sufficient news to let people know what is really going on. We need to stop feeding Zelensky more and more money. It’s a loser.

Nice compilation.

This documentary by Andrei Kolesnikov adds context and depth:

• “Putin" - the Documentary Sure to Change Everything You Thought You Knew About Russia's President

Related references from my personal reading dossier …

• “First Person – An Astonishingly Frank Self-Portrait by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin"

This book is presented in a Question and Answer format, featuring interviewers Nataliya Gevorkyan, Natalya Timakova and Andrei Kolesnikov. Translated by Catherine A Fitzpatrick

• “Russian Populist: The Political Thought of Vladimir Putin” by Matthew Raphael Johnson

• “The War Against Putin: What the Government-Media Complex Isn’t Telling You About Russia” by Mike King

The latter two might appear to be unlikely sources of positive endorsement. They call all things exactly as they read them.

Finally, the closing picture in your collage prompts this gem …

“Every one of us, on New Year’s Eve [2017], can be a little bit magical ...

For this, all you need to do is treat your parents with love and gratefulness, give your children and families the utmost love and care, respect your work colleagues and your friendships.

Stand up for justice and the truth, be merciful to those who require your help – and that’s the secret to being magic.

May all your dreams come true – pure thoughts and kind intentions.

May every household be blessed with joy and love.”

• Putin 2017 New Year’s Eve message

What stood out for me in the video, "Who is Vladimir Putin?" was the combination of physical discipline, judo, with the ability to work collaboratively in a large bureaucracy, the KGB, and then the public administration experience gained in St Petersburg.

I know of no Western Leader that has his experience.

He leads a powerful nation, may he continue to thread the needle between standing up for Russia's interests while keeping World War 3 at bay despite the incompetence of NATO.

The weight of a 1000 years rests on this man’s shoulder.

What he did for Russia is so enormous that all future generations of Russians (and humanity) will be in his debt.

I agree. What Thomas Jefferson did for the 13 Colonies, Putin is doing for the Neo-Colonized World outside the G7 cartel.

Controversial but fascinating figure. His role is such that he has to be the target of western propaganda that vilifies and demonizes its enemy. We have seen it with Donald Trump ! I think the two have a lot in common, they are just incorporated into different systems by all means.

What they have most in common IMO is (as you so rightly say) the amazing degree to which Western propaganda vilifies and demonizes them. They could be Jesus Christ and the MSM would be coming with whips, hammers and nails.
