100% right. I agree with you on that. I watched many of his interviews, speeches and the guy is proud of the diversity of religions and cultures in Russia. He will continue to be villanized so long as he openly defies the NWO globalists and their evil agenda.

He's been kicking oligarchs out of the country? Really? No.

Oligarchs helped elevate him to power because they were working with him back in St. Petersburg where he controlled state contracts and set up a bank where they could share assets. His corruption was the reason for his power. The contracts he controlled often paid up front and had no penalty if you didn't deliver. They also involved buying commodities at subsidized prices. Instead of delivery on the contracts they would just take the assets out of the control and sell them on the open market.

What Putin did when he came to Moscow was assert control over the gangsters and the oligarchs. He didn't stop the corruption, he put himself and the state at the top of pyramid. Oligarchs were told in no uncertain terms, you can keep your wealth, but you can't not keep power. Any Oligarch who had pretension of politcal power was crushed. It was in this way that Putin took over Russian's biggest company and took it's assets and shifted them over to Rosneft the state oil and gas company. (The liason between Putin and the head of Rosneft was just found dead in the trunk of his car. Russia did not release the cause of death.) Look at the Sochi Olympics if you think there's no oligarchs in the country. Putin's associates from St. Petersburg got billions in contracts in the most expensive Olympics ever. Putin promised private funds would pay for it. But a year after the Olympics the Oligarchs started selling the now useless Olympic venues and hotels back to the state.

If there's no Oligarchs in Russian who is buying all that London and New York and Florida real estate? Trump has done over 100 million in deals with Russians in Florida. Including an oligarch who paid double market value for a house he tore down. In the Panama Papers, a cellist who has been friends with Putin since the 1970's was found to be controlling billions in wealth. Billions are believed to belong to Putin who used his friend as a cover. Putin's personal wealth is estimated north of $50 billion.

I'm not interested in it. I don't think it's related, maybe tangentially but I'm not going to research something that is indirect. your headline is misleading. YOU should do the research and post what you say you are posting and not ppost it then tell someone to do their own research. dont' post if you don't ahve your shit together

@SarMegahhikkitha

@bojangles thinks Russians say pedos to refer to regular fags.

@eagleshigh

The best interests of the Russian people? With him and his cronies stealing everything they can?

Putin is one of them, I have a hard time justifying this... why is he kissing this young boy on the stomach? Is this Russian tradition or is he choosing the poor child? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd2Z3nXnLD0

Putin rules. The guy is smart and he's brave.

This doesn't have any connection to Pedophilia epidemic. If you suggest it, prove it

No need to fire that last shot. It's everywhere.

I was confused for a sec. For a little added clarity... The first sentence of the OP linked article:

Vladimir Putin has issued an immediate ban on U.S. adults adopting Russian children over fears for the safety of the children due to the pedophilia epidemic plaguing the United States.

While this was published by Investment Watch today , the words immediate ban are a link to the Dec. 27, 2012 New York Times article Putin Signs Bill That Bars U.S. Adoptions, Upending Families .

Currently , as noted below by @noonesun , ending the ban has been discussed recently , according to a Jan 18, 2017 article in USA Today : Russian lawmaker says Moscow may lift adoption ban .

He did this in 2012, which should be an even bigger deal than it happening recently.

just putting this out there... this week russia also banned jehovas witnesses from preaching or having services. related?

Those sick vermin that cause others to look down on respectable loving future adoptive parents are hurting even the kids that they are not abusing. Is it not bad enough they cause horrible harm to their victims but now they will cause many other children to not be adopted by loving future homosexual couples because they will be suspected? There must be something that can be done about this. It put tears in my eyes reading about the love he has for his son.

Absolutely agree. This whole pedogate thing risks taking opportunities for loving, good same-sex couples to be great parents to kids in need of homes.
