Putin is pretty bad ass, even if things are corrupt…You really can’t argue with those pics. He looks like Rob Halford in the motorcycle pic. ---

He doesn’t need an election. He just tells everyone he isn’t leaving and no one is willing to tell him otherwise. If they do his Bear guards will maul them. ---

Putin is the raddest man in modern history probably. he’s also quite likely the wealthiest man in the world by far and no one even knows it or how much he actually has… If Ghaddafi was able to syphon [**$200B +++**](http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/estimate-of-gaddafis-hidden-assets-staggering/2011/10/21/gIQAJDrE5L_story.html) out of Libya into investments all over the world who the hell knows how much Putin has with organized corruption and an economy that is a million times larger. His stake in Gunvor alone puts him in the top 20 or so wealthiest mean in the world. there are some solid US cables on it leaked through wikileaks. ---
