Only your first point is really something that is bad and even then it is certainly arguable.
Russian has been getting along okay despite the sanctions to be honest.
I just hope he skullfucks the Germans before those retards ruin the EU completely.
Besides this is a favorite strongmen thread, not a favorite liberal pussy thread.
>>491578
Russia got the shit sanctioned out of it, the economic issues had nothing to do with interior management.
>>491586
And why did Russia get the shit sanctioned out of it? It's natural consequences of a foreign policy as ballsy as his, but it's not like he couldn't have seen this coming.
>>491580
I also like strongmen and like quashing mouthy liberals, but my overall opinion of Putin has faltered ever since Russia's economy tanked. Dependency on oil prices is a huge part of that.
>>491612
>And why did Russia get the shit sanctioned out of it?
Because they interfered with a coup by a nationalist party that was butthurt over losing the elections in the Ukraine?

Then what is power in 2016, anon? Because economic power projection has been the power of choice for the past few hundred years.
>>491639
The EU is destroying itself with "globalism" and "cultural assimilation".
Russia doesn't even need to keep getting strong at this point to be on even footing with the EU. The EU just needs to keep getting weaker, and it is.
>>491696
As Russia has proven recently, regular force projection is more than enough. Also oil pipelines
>>491792
That regular force is pushing around periphery nobodies with nothing of value. And oil pipelines are just a matter of economy as well. Russia is just turning itself into another oil economy.

I think he's great. How can you not love this cigar-chomping bearded bastard? He's an old harmless man now, his country stamped out illiteracy so that's pretty fly, and the Cubans are coming back into the fold because let's face it, they're all right and we're all right and it's time to bury the hatchet.
>>491792

Oh good. So Russia cannot even come close to the power of say, France.
They're having to fight a war now because they can't project their power less then 1,000 miles from their borders.

I don't see the appeal of strongmen frankly. Even if they're efficient at their jobs, the the order they impose tends to completely fall apart after they die.
I understand that the benevolent dictator can be a positive option in some situations, but despotism seems largely undesirable most of time.
>>491998
Animal packs are led by an alpha male, tribes are led by a chieftain, cities are led by a mayor, kingdoms are led by a king.

Their order falls apart when they die due to lack of hereditary rule.

If he's anything special to the Russian people then he's a traitor, just like XX. century strongmen usually are. If you seriously think Putin is a positive force in the world then you don't understand jackshit about history in general. >>/pol/

MMA and sports in general are subliminal brainwashing by the jews to promote the development of warriors in a pussified culture. Just look at how much advertising the military puts into sports and combat activities, not to mention the cawadooty brainwashing.

Nah, Bismarck wasn´t the strongman type. He was more the "I want something and I´m going to get it, either by force or free will"-type. Comparing him to Ghaddafi or Putin is ridiculous.
Bismarck was feared because he was the toughest, wittiest motherfucker around, not because of his machismo.
>>491554
Putin is a cuck
Ask the Russians in Siberia about how he is allowing Chinese influence there so they would fund his dick size contest with the EU
Since Fidel was already chosen by another anon, I'll say good old Tom.
Benito Mussolini. Closest Italy got to recreating Rome but then Hitler dragged Europe into war that Mussolini was on the wrong side.

He's not a 'strongman' though. He's an elected politician and leader, just slightly more corrupted and authoritarian than the western norm.
