Today it looks like he may be eating the lunch of those who bet so heavily on Genetically Modified food crap that over 90% of American's don't want and the majority of Europe has already banned.

Putin wants Russia to become world's biggest exporter of Non-GMO food

Well if he ever gets tired of the sloppy fellatio he's getting from the GOP, maybe he'll shift focus to helping his people instead of consolidating power for himself. Or maybe he'll campaign for re-election in the next free Russian election. Lol jk he won't have to campaign and will win the "free" election with 90%+ of the vote.

Hmmm a few things left out- persecution of political opponents, corruption- quite the 'patrot'

The key player in all this is the man at the top of Russia, President Vladimir Putin. He's been in charge so long that many forget he was once an unemployed KGB agent looking for a new job in St. Petersburg. The CBC's Gillian Findlay captures his rise in the new documentary for Frontline: "Putin's way."

Here are five corrupt moves by Vladimir Putin that are examined in the movie and that helped him become the most powerful man in Russia.

1. The food that never came. During his time as Deputy Mayor of St. Petersburg, the city faced a food shortage. A program allowed the selling of raw materials abroad and the money made would be used to purchase food. Putin promised tons of food. Literally. Two thousand tons of butter and milk for example. But the food never came. City councilor Marina Salye investigated what happened. She says $124 million disappeared. The tons of food never showed up on the shelves. Putin denied the charges and blamed others for it.

2. The vacation villas in Spain. Putin had registered an economic relations committee called Twentieth Trust. The government gave the company 2.5 billion rubles for a construction project. Nothing was constructed. Instead, former police investigator Andrey Zykov says the money went to vacation villas in Spain for Putin and his cronies. No one punished Deputy Mayor Putin.

3. Saving his associates. Putin served as Deputy Mayor under Anatoly Sobchak. In 1996, Sobchak lost his bid for another term as mayor. Corruption investigations followed. But during questioning, Sobchak had a heart attack. He showed up in Paris several weeks later, looking great. Sobchak's window, Lyudmila Narusova, says Putin helped get her husband out of the country, escaping the corruption charges. This loyalty is also thought to be the reason former President Boris Yeltsin hand-picked Putin as his successor. Yeltsin didn't want any investigations into his time as president. When Putin came to power, he gave Yeltsin immunity.

4. Putin's retirement home. Putin has a complicated way of funneling money to pet projects, like a vacation home outside Sochi. Exiled businessman Sergei Kolesnikov says money travels from one organization to another and ends up in a business where Putin owns the majority stake. This helped him build his dream home, a $250 million pad worthy of a modern day czar. Putin says the pad isn't his.

5. Putin's getting rich. The various moneymaking schemes have been good to Putin. Back in 2007, Putin controlled assets worth $40 billion. The CIA confirmed this estimate in 2014. He's one of the world's richest individuals. So the past couple decades have been good for the former, unemployed KGB agent.

There are several members of this site that are Putin sympathizers. They love Putin so much that they rather burn this country in exchange of Putin. Yet they live and earned their livelihood in this country. What a bunch of traitors.

Apparently a lot of leaders in this country hate or have a total disregard for the people that they were hired to represent. Instead of representing the people they seem to think they have the right to rule over the people which is exactly opposite of what this country is supposed to be. So tell me who the f*** thinks they are able to do which and have no consequences by the people rebelling?

Generalizations. Can you be more specific?

If your Avatar locations are true and correct there is really no way I could adequately explain it to you in a mere posting on an Internet board.

Putin is a thug and always has been.

Putin does nothing unless its advantageous to himself. He supports Assad and always has.

Hope he bombs the shit out of ISIS and I could care who else he kills in the process.

Sympathy nomination for US President?

That is my boat dock behind my house in Key Biscayne. And your avatar tells you what? Same as your post. Generalization.

Putin has done what most politicians throughout the world have done - perhaps in just a much larger manner. How many of our own "representatives" pad their nests based upon their positions?

Queen Nancy and Dingy Harry are two perfect examples. They probably showed Vlad their book way back when.

Maybe you can tell us what Putin has done or any contribution to humanity or in US.

Where in the hell did I say anything about contributions to humanity?

He's an ex-KGB thug who managed to gain power to be and do what all dictators do. In his case, he knows how to play the PR game and has a whole lot of people owing him.

Putin has acted perhaps like 'most politicians' around the world- if you mean leading a corrupt, autocratic regime that uses the courts to imprison political opponents- if they are not assassinated outright.

You cannot tell the difference between a Democratically elected former Leader of the House and a Russian autocrat who imprisons his political opponents?

That pretty much tells me everything about you.

Cry me river... Dude you are just another Putin dick sucker. The only reason and only reason Putin thugs presence in Syria is to make sure Assad will remain in power. NOT because of ISIS. If he lost Assad he lost billions of arms sales. Probably in 100 billions. Where do you think Iran get their arms that support terrorism in ME? Where do you think those arms that supplied to Lebanon came from? Go do your research idiot. Good for him he is bombing ISIS and other innocent civilians. He should be tried as CRIMINAL ................
So try again what has Putin thugs done or any contribution to this world?
