Putin links jailed tycoons to Al Capone & Madoff

It's unjust to blame Russia for jailing people who stole billions of dollars. That's according to Vladimir Putin, who was speaking to French journalists on his official visit to the country .

Putin is exactly what Russia needs in a leader. This guy takes no crap and does not blink when matters need to be taken in hand. Greetings from America!

i would like Putin to run for a political position in the US.

Seriously, he seems like a guy that can get things done and doesn't take shit from anybody. And he's not stupid like Bush. I think most Americans respect the guy, and I do too.

putin is absolutely right! lol @ the angry americocks who still hate on him

[returnoftheramble3]

now I undertand what they mean by not being able to do anything. LOL Yeah, you're the only one that's safe. If you have a modest job, you end up braindead or homeless. I'm supposed to be laying on a bed staring when they're done with me. They're really dragging this out... Is it so that they feel badass?

Putin is the right man! He will defend Russia to the end and has averted a hostile economic and political takeover by trolls who were financed from the outside. The Slavs have suffered enough through communism and need a strong nationalistic leader who will protect their resources and provide an environment where they can thrive without a new band of criminals mercilessly robbing them of everything while, like the last bunch, only feeling contempt for them.

@xMaXiMuSx All that loot must be in Switzerland or Liechenstien or Monaco. I wonder why Putin has sent a posse after it trying to get the money back.

THey are all scum.. They are worse criminals than the crooks on wall street who stole so much..

[jvarela965]

According to the documentary Rise and Fall of the Russian Obligarchs only Khodkosky is in jail, the rest fled abroad.

USA needs a leader like Putin.. He put the banking criminals in jail but here in the United States we bailed them out and give them billions of dollars?? It's so wrong.

won't be able to do anything? i wasn't really paying attention to us last time. there's enough freedom n kali yuga that i will, i am. it's where desre is that matters.

no, people will always turn their backs on you. certain disabled people stay forever young and like the odd, social problems that they are trapped in -- I kid you not. As far as our jailed, they are enemies of another, not because there are morals that exist. We haven't stabilized worlds enough in this yuga to have morals, anyone. And you all are like he forever young.
