Honesty is good if it's true. Some get tired of telling the truth for another. My reality isn't worth as much as your reality, so they collide. The gullible often tell their truth to prove they're a good person then get squished. A confession can be taken to a direction. Those of lesser in society often burst with the slightest hint of acceptance. Do they know the truth? I question that. Silence isn't a lie, yet I find it speaks often for another as well. It probably has good reason. Tolerance is good if it's true. Some get tired of being intolerant for another. They don't owe you anything, but you owe them. People will claim anything to get ahead and then we swing back and forth on the insecurity seat. At the end of the day, what matters?

One of the many reasons why Putin is very popular in Russia and amongst a few in the West. The leadership of both the States and England during the past years has demonstrated liars and deceit. Furthermore, the truth hurts in the West

Putin , (and Medvedev also ) has done a good job for Russia .

P. M. Putin has the common touch and relates well with the people of Russia. This is a very positive thing because the people need to trust and respect their leaders. He can accomplish great things for the people if he can manage to keep Russia out of wars.

Vladmir Putin and his love for the motherland should be an inspiration for all leaders. My best to you!

Putin is the most brilliant strategist we will probably see in our lifetime. He is not only a gift to the Russian people, but possibly for the entire world.

It is great to see Putin’s role as a great mentor of the future leaders. The fall of the Soviet Union may be celebrated in the West and in Eastern Europe and even inside Russia but as the real strong voice of the global South- death of the Soviet Union brought destruction and new forms of horrific re-colonization by the United States. Haiti, Iraq, and Somalia are great example of U.S neocolonialism against the global South. Russia can help by bring students from other war torn areas such as Somalia to study in Russia. New and internationalist Russia is a force for good in the world. Thank you Prime Minister Putin for your great leadership.
