The only skill of Putin's that matters is his ability to meme. In this he is almost unrivalled, save for our own president of course.

Well, the rise in pro-Putin Americans is certainly a disturbing trend. Worthy of outrage and condemnation. I personally feel that these people are akin to neo-Nazis who praise Hitler.

I'm so pro-Putin I hope Trump's energy policy strangles his economy so that he'll work with us in spite of the idiotic sanctions.

Vladimir Putin’s Judo Skills Are Better Than Yours
n fact, the Russian president is a black belt in judo, having practiced the martial art since the age of 11 and later earning a Master of Sports in judo. He even penned a book about the history, theory, and practice of the Japanese art of fighting, and released an instructional DVD entitled, “Let’s Learn Judo with Vladimir Putin.” (Do yourself a favor and watch the full-length video below.)

On Wednesday, Putin mourned the loss of his first judo trainer, Anatoly Rakhlin, who began training the future world leader in 1964 and was one of a handful of people invited to his first presidential inauguration in 2000, AFP reports. A Vanity Fair profile from that year demonstrates the close relationship the two maintained as Putin rose the ranks of Russia’s political hierarchy — success Putin attributes to the skills he learned on the mat.

If you study foreign policy instead of knee-jerk reactionary dismissal of studying Putin (realpolitik)
you understand better what are his goals and how to play against it.

'Pro-Putin' is about the most ignorant characterization possible. Nazi references are despicable.
Ignorant red neck type foreign analysis.
