I love him. He's my idol.

Simply another player on the 3D chess-board that is the grand illusion of life. I believe he has a role to play in the evolution of the ultimate plans for world war 3.

vlad and russia are irrelevant.
any country that uses donkeys as transport is busted ass

Whether we like it of not, any country with nukes & lots & lots of ICBMs is definitely not 'busted arse', nor irrelevant.

Vlad is the good guy, making america look like the bad guys.
and was not he ex st petersburg mayor too. lets call it stalingrad shall we.
but i reckon they prolly have the equivalent phrase like the cia, you never really leave the cia. well, you prolly never ever really leave the cheka/kgb/nkvd
At least Boris Yeltsin was a harmless jolly drunk.
Vlad's style of leadership and state control is much more in the style of Stalin, and without a world war to win, Stalin was a blight on the Soviet Union.

St Petersburg was Leningrad - Stalingrad became Volgograd.

The one thing that consoles me is that many of these brutal dictator types end up dead early. Many don't, but the odds are reasonable that if he keeps agitating via localised warfare it will end up with either him hanging by the noose or in court on war crimes. It may be hard to see now, but things can change very quickly over a period of 5 to 10 years. His best chance for survival is withdrawing into the background quietly.
He needs to be shirtfronted.
Clearly a ruthless master. Makes more sense than nearly any other politician or journalist who get attention though. Gonna get a grilling by the MSM over mh17.
I think he lives by Sun Tzu, which makes him a very dangerous opponent. I think he believes the USA is at war with Russia, China and Iran and is probably right.
He has good timing and likes to mirror the tactics of he US back at them to expose thier hypocrisy when they protest.

He's a campaigner.
See, my real criticism of the Novorossiyan and Russian reaction to the MH-17 shoot-down is that, yes the separatists likely shot it down, but their actions during the aftermath should have been handled a whole lot better. The separatists were getting hammered from the air before they could get their air defences organised, mistakes were bound to happen once the 'AD bubble' popped up to cover the skies over former Eastern Ukraine where civilian aircraft were still being permitted to fly their routes.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ukrainian_aircraft_losses_during_the_Ukrainian_crisis
In my opinion the Novorossiyans should have been on the front foot and immediately admitted the mistake instead of trying to hide it. Being a new nation with no experience of statecraft though, it should have been Russia who also stepped up to explain what went so horribly wrong.
Civil airline routes through active warzones where craft have been blown out of the sky previously must be reconsidered. Novorossiya and Russia, as well as Ukraine itself, must impart the lessons of this tragedy to the world so that it may never happen again.

They are already at war. When a country places sanctions on another country it is an act of war. The US did this to Russia. They have also deliberately caused the price of energy to fall knowing it would hurt their economy.
Leader of the Free world .
Check out this 2011 interview Putin gave - he raises some extremely good points about U.S hegemony, the value of a multi-polar world and many other things.

Makes an assumption that because McCain fought in 'Nam that he must have civilian blood on his hands and left his mind in the pit of which he was a PoW.

He's right.
The guy is a war-mongerer and wants to bomb Iran. He even made a joke about it:
