Well, I don't like Russian government. And the reason is I'm an American. The story is clear.
How many of you Americans like Putin and why?
I believe Putin is dangerous ... He appears to be taking Russia back down the road towards re-establishing the USSR.
I don't think you'll find many Americans that like him. Ex KGB with strong ties to FSB. He wants to rebuild the old Soviet empire regardless of the freedoms the old countries now have. His laws and human rights acts are purely Soviet in design. I think he's a megalomaniac myself.
I don't know anyone who likes him, or trusts him.
