That bastard Putin!!

Well now I have seen everything.  So many in this country seem to hate "the Russians" and until now I could not see why.  After all, Russia seems at an all time low in its antagonistic efforts against the west.  Putin goes around calling American people and their politicians "partners" in the world despite loud obnoxious comments by the likes of Obama about how Americans are so "exceptional" with the obvious implication that all other nations are inferior.  He has graciously worked with NASA to include our astronauts in missions to the space station after our own shuttle program collapsed under its own weight.  He has not been overtly provocative for quite some time now. So I really could not see how and why so many in the US try to paint them as our enemies.

But now I know.  It's because that fucking asshole Putin is paying off his debt!!!  That son of a bitch!  How could he?  Here we are in the US racking up debt like it was nothing but over there Putin is now officially out of foreign debt.  Oh, I'm sure they have internal debt still, but they have made it a point to pay off foreign creditors.



"While most western countries have debt to GDP ratios well over the Maastricht rules recommended maximum of 60% (and some like Italy are well over 100%), Russia’s debt to GDP ratio has been hovering around 15% for years. At the start of 2016 Russia’s external debt was $520bn and it rose to a high of $537bn in the third quarter of 2017, but it began to taper off quickly as 2018 got underway."

WTF is that shit????  Are they trying to make us look bad?  Well it's working damn it.  And before you know it, Russian economy will begin to grow again as interest rates rise and choke off us here in the west because of our horrible debt.  The fucking Putin is acting conservative and that's reason enough to hate him.  Forget the fact that his own people love him.  What do they know?  We exceptional Americans know everything (especially the liberals among us) and we "know" Putin is Hitler.

OK all kidding aside, Putin is ex-kgb.  You know his hands are dirty.  But so are almost all US presidents.  Putin is no better than anyone else but to repeat over and over and over again in the media that he's my enemy, that the Russian people are the enemy of the USA, is complete bullshit.  How do you know something is part of a big liberal lie?  By the very repetition of the same tag line.  Every source uses almost identical phraseology.  It's like reading from a script because it is reading from a script.
