    Met a Russian woman who was a big fan of Putin. She said he was much better than past leaders, like Stalin. Had to admit she had a point.

        It might be hard for US people to understand that mentality, but a LOT of people in Europe respect Putin and his leadership style.

        Viewing politics as isolated from culture is a mistake. Russia is Russia. Putin is about as good a leader as the country can hope for

        we have to be careful not to normalize things like this, even using relative terms. The Worst should not be our standard.
