, 12:15, September 24, 2025→Trump calls Russia a paper tiger and says Ukraine can gain back all of their land
:::::As a person who studied martial arts, I like the fact that Putin is a black belt in Judo even though he was beaten by a little [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aX6sB5yxQkw Japanese girl in Japan in an exhibition round]. And unlike his ally Xi Jinping, Putin is not anti-Christian (Although his church attendance is sparse and he is divorced and apparently engaging in fornication). But I am definitely in favor of the degree of corruption and imperialism happening under Putin. Finally, historically Russia has been more prosperous when it wasn't anti-Western. Given that Russia was selling its oil/gas at a much higher profit margin to the West than to China/India/etc., his anti-Westernism appears to be self-defeating for Russia. Russia could be doing much better economically. For example, over the last 20 years, the former Soviet Republics Latvia and Estonia have done a lot better than Russia in terms of GDP per capita when measured in purchasing power parity terms. And EU countries generally do much better than Russia too on this metric as does the USA. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 07:46, September 24, 2025 (EDT)

::::::Big deal. What does that have to do with anything?

You asked me what my impression of Putin was. I told you. Don't whine about my response because you don't like it.
Next, I don't believe your war stats. In terms of the USA, I am guessing you are playing loose or being inaccurate in term of what constitutes a war. There is a difference between a military intervention and a distinct war. The USA has been involved in 13 distinct wars since 1991.[https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA%3D%3D_272d8d67-0387-4cb2-b0d7-a7c08a39e672] As far as Russia, "Counting distinct conflicts, Russia has been involved in at least 9 major wars or armed conflicts since 1991. This includes direct wars (e.g., Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine), interventions (e.g., Syria, Tajikistan), and support for separatist conflicts (e.g., Transnistria, South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Donbas). Some sources may group the Russo-Ukrainian War’s phases (Crimea, Donbas, 2022 invasion) as one conflict, reducing the count to 7, but separating them reflects distinct military campaigns. The definition of "war" can vary; some conflicts (e.g., Transnistria, Donbas) involved Russian support for proxies rather than direct, large-scale fighting."[https://grok.com/share/c2hhcmQtNA%3D%3D_5f06b618-8e0d-4638-9fe8-598a984cf3f8]
Personally, I like Trump way better than Putin and Trump has a great record in terms of keeping the USA out of wars - especially compared to Putin. The owner of the website, Andy Schlafly likes Trump better than Putin too which is why he reverted one of your main page right edits with this editing comment: "21:28, July 13, 2025 Aschlafly (Talk | contribs | block) . .
