Putin has to run again so the world will have another term for peace, somebody
has to stand against American arrogance and bullying s
That's why we all support Putin even in prayers only, because we cannot relly on the Pope,
He's too bussy talking to rich people of the world's, the Pope has no time for other poor 3rd world countries like
Bangladesh and other 🍌 banana republic 😂😂😂😂😂😁😁😁😁😍😍

Piotr Czaadajew, writing in his "Philosophy Letters" about Russia and Russians: "We grow, but we do not grow up, we go forward, but on a curve line, that is, one that does not lead to the goal (...) When the whole world was rebuilt from scratch, we did not they erected nothing new, after a long time we sat huddled in old huts made of logs and straw. In a word, the fate of humanity was forged without us (...) First, brutal barbarism, then gross obscurity, then foreign domination, cruel and degrading, whose spirit inherited our later authority - this is the sad story of our youth (...) Even assume that we would be able to study and thoughts to gain the knowledge we lack, where to get living traditions, extensive experience, deep understanding of the past, permanent intellectual habits (...) We live in a country so poor when it comes to the symptoms of the ideal. " Russia and Germany - empty state creations, without a ghost, without history, without roots - sad.

President Putin - if you base your relationship on the UK with this man you are a fool - but I know you are not - you're a strong man - a strong county - till we meet.

Russian military is undergoing massive cuts to do our budget problems. The Russian Federation budging office reports that these cuts are going to continue at the 25.5% rate until the year 2020 due to our failing economy in Russia. Jobs across the board in Russia in 2017 have cut pay by 8% on average this is going backwards not forwards. We're in a country where over half your income already goes to buying just food. The last time rush it had Cuts Like This was a 1990 when the collapse of the Soviet Union took place.
