Western analysts call Putin "The Iron Man" (in English, the original hard-man). Such a respectful nickname emerged because of Moscow’s unshakable position: for several months now, the Russian leader has been fighting against IG. Putin’s fight against terrorists fascinates people all over the world. Other analysts point out that against the background of a helpless West, Russia is positioning itself as the heroic stronghold of human civilization. True, Moscow’s high motives are denied: if it is so moral, then why is it doing an arms race?


Putin


As Peter Hann writes in a British newspaper "Express", at the beginning of 2015, many in the UK were outraged by Putin’s behavior, however, the Kremlin’s master seems to be ending this year. He destroys the evil in the face of the "Islamic state", and his actions lead to success.

If at the beginning of the year Putin’s activities in the international arena were negatively evaluated - the Russian president was compared as a character-villain from the Bond series (for example, he was accused of involvement in the poisoning of former spy Alexander Litvinenko), now he seems to be a politician who actually headed the mission militants "IG."

This year began for Putin's deterioration in relations with the West. They were the worst since the days of the Cold War, the journalist believes, since the crisis in Ukraine has spread, and the situation with the Malaysia Airlines board MH17 shot down near Donetsk has complicated it. In addition, the West was upset when the Russian opposition leader Boris Nemtsov was killed (in February), and he was shot dead "near the Kremlin." World leaders "condemned the murder and asked to conduct a full investigation into the circumstances of death," reminds the journalist.

As a result, seeing the continuing tension and the growth of contradictions, the Russian authorities finally took an anti-Western position. And even the resources of "Wikipedia" and "Fairy liquid" were briefly blocked in Russia.

Not less than three times this year, British fighter jets were raised from a base in Scotland - after Russian military aircraft "encroached on British airspace," writes Peter Hann.

But then "something happened," the correspondent continues. In order to change the international perception of Russian politics, “Putin’s former chief KGB agent made a turn of 180 degrees”.

In the past few months, he has shown himself to be “Iron Man.” His fight against IG, also known as Daesh, has expanded his fans. This happened because in September, he agreed to inflict airstrikes on the positions of jihadists in Syria.

The strikes were effective: Russian planes instantly bombed military facilities and jihadist training centers. In fear of the new Russian bombing, the militants were forced to retreat.

In early December, in just three days, Russia destroyed more than 600 targets "IG".

“During the mission, Putin’s bombers conducted hundreds of sorties in war-torn Syria, which is confirmed by the Russian Ministry of Defense,” writes the journalist.

More 2000 bombs destroyed extremist objects. The Russian military claims that 70 command centers, 21 training camp, six munitions and explosives factories, 43 ammunition depot and 6 oil facilities have been destroyed. And this is only from December 5 to December 8!

And in addition, the Russian Black Hole submarine (Russia's Black Hole submarine), based in the Mediterranean, began attacking Daesh targets with rockets in December.

As Mr. Putin continues his mission today to destroy the IS, his perception in the world is gradually changing.

The journalist recalls that in November the United States (Russia's traditional opponent of the Cold War) announced that V. V. Putin and B. H. Obama had agreed on a political transition and settlement in Syria. The goal of both states is to put an end to the civil war in Syria, which, in fact, led to the emergence and strengthening of the IS.

And therefore, Mr. Putin, a man whom "the West was afraid and hated", is now universally respected, the British author believes.

A somewhat different opinion about Iron Man is expressed in the Investor's Business Daily. According to the editors, Vladimir Putin puts himself in the role of a hero, but rather resembles a hooligan.

From the editorial Investor's Business Daily the reader gets a combined image of Putin: at the same time both a “moral hero” and a bully.

“Russia has repeatedly positioned itself as a heroic stronghold and protector of civilization against the backdrop of a helpless West,” writes the publication. “But if its morality is so high, why does it increase the arms race and take threatening actions against the United States?”

For example, last month, President Vladimir Putin slyly hinted at a development plan for a high-speed unmanned submarine of the Canyon project, capable of delivering nuclear warheads to a range of 6200 miles at a depth of 3280 feet.

The US military experts, having familiarized themselves with the project, said that the Canyon would be invulnerable to interception, able to bypass the American defensive missile shield and is designed to attack ports and coastal cities.

Information about the underwater drone was presented as an "accidental leak" that allowed Russian news agencies to make publications. In fact, this information is supposedly secret. The editors of the publication do not believe in this: after all, in Russia, Putin controls the media. In fact, the information was a "threat" - another signal to the West about "aggressive" intentions.

Since 2005, in the absence of any real threats, the editorial board continues, Russia has increased its military budget five times, bringing it to 50 billion.

But this is not only Russia's military spending is worrying Americans. According to the publication, there is a "number of threatening actions" of Russia "in relation to the territory of the United States."

Last year, the Russian strategic air force showed its strength off the coast of California: Tu-95 “Bear” bombers were accompanied by American fighters (at least Bill Hertz wrote about it in The Washington Times).

This year, Russian bombers flew over the island of Guam. In addition, the Russians stepped up cyber attacks and espionage. Finally, Moscow took up the increase in the number of its Arctic bases (before 18) and tried to regain its influence in Cuba and, probably, in Venezuela. This is not to mention the fact that Moscow continues to harbor the traitor Snowden, who previously worked in the United States for the National Security Agency.

However, Putin continues to position Russia as a bulwark in the fight against terrorism. He really is fighting the Islamic State, and the Obama administration is only showing "helplessness" and "weakness." At the same time, Putin is successfully promoting "historical Russia's role in protecting Christian minorities in the holy land. ” In Russia itself, Putin is believed to oppose "social disintegration" and support the "spiritual rightness" of the Russian Orthodox Church.

And this is not some kind of distortion of reality, indicates the publication. All that is listed above, there are fragments of "historical heroism of Russia."

However, in Russia, Putin acts "as a petty thug": after all, he is building up military power, trying to resist the West, and also puts pressure on political opponents inside the country. “Putin may think that he is a hero, but he acts like a petty bully,” the publication ironically.

Western analysts have declared Putin "Iron Man" - the one who worthily led the effective mission to destroy the militants of "IS" in Syria. And, since Putin does not stop beating violent terrorists, his perception in the world is changing, some authors say. Let's say more: Mr. Putin now enjoys "universal respect." At least, the British journalist Peter Hann is sure of that, working, by the way, in that very newspaper, almost 80% of readers of which the other day wished to make Putin the prime minister of Britain.

Recall, as the newspaper wrote recently "Express", 4 from 5 residents of the United Kingdom would prefer to see the leaders of Great Britain as the Russian president, and not at all David Cameron.

As for the editorial staff of Investor's Business Daily, it is strange, when speaking of Russia as a heroic stronghold and defender of civilization “against the background of the helpless West”, immediately calling Putin a “petty hooligan” who “increases military power”. First, no one interfered with the American coalition to truly smash the militants "IG". Livia was instantly bombed out. In Syria, the "helpless" West wanted to become himself. Secondly, it is simply ridiculous to call the United States and NATO, whose bases surrounded Russia, "helpless." Putin has to, willy-nilly, to be a “minor hooligan” in order to give big blows to the hooligans.

          Definitely not needed. In addition, England, when the time comes, will go under water.

          ... speaking of Russia as a heroic stronghold and defender of civilization "against the backdrop of a helpless West", immediately call Putin "a petty hooligan" who "builds up military power."


          These Western, however, like some of ours, information rattles that mean "Putin is Russia" and you need to get rid of it so that it does not interfere with other people's lives, then for them "Putin is a hooligan" in and of itself, which means it must also be destroyed again because it interferes.

          Russia today is a source of meanings, and it is not forgiven for it, just as Soviet Russia was not forgiven for a revolution, but because of it, the relations of labor and capital have fundamentally changed. A new idea for humanity is on its way, and today they spread rot for premonition of this idea - they could not integrate, they began to fear.

          But we didn’t go through that. Let’s pass this test - the temptation of malice. Angry and stupid people get angry because they are afraid of themselves ...

        They don't interfere - they just don't do anything while sitting in leadership positions. This is called "sabotage".

                    They blame, well, there, EBN, Chubais, there are still a number of people there. Well, my dears, you yourself gave them power.
                    And the fact that mass privatization took place later is the result of how they disposed of this power. Arranged by the given power.

                    The USSR is good, the USSR is good. Well, then what the hell is being asked. Che prevented standing up for power.
                    And the fact that the elite was bored (as they try to keep silent about it) is of no particular interest to anyone. The Soviet elite is knocked down - how do you? fine? But at the same time, the EBN is a scoundrel.

                    The Communists had a chance in 1996 to take everything into their own hands, again. But no, they preferred to merge the votes to the same EBNu, they were afraid.

                        To say that Putin is a liberal, a traitor and it is unclear who-is a delusion. The result of his many years of activity you can objectively evaluate only after a while. When it will already be clear for sure - it is not necessary, rightly wrong. But scamming Putin is just the work of those same liberals, talk that Putin allegedly drank everything, ate everything, and stole everything - from Navalny, Nemtsov, Kasyanov, we heard many times.

                        The same people, for the most part, did not lift a finger to defend the country at the "end of the century."
                        So you don’t have to blame everything on the mythical party, the people simply did not rise and that’s it.

                        No need to write off the people. The Central Committee of the Communist Party consisted of very specific people, and not the whole people. And under her leadership, the war was won, and under her strict guidance only ... to the country.

                        And this respect is already the result of effective Western propaganda, which consisted of (as I said earlier) in three things: Jeans, Kaka-Cola and a bare ass on TV (neither I said by the way).
                        And the people are not to blame for the fact that the propaganda of the proletariat was less interesting. It turns out the people did not believe in the party.

                        The Communists were not able to maintain power, the power of the Soviets was not relevant at the time of 1991. Much more interesting and relevant things were suggested by decaying capitalism with its market economy.

                        By the fact that the Communists at that time, there was nothing. They had nothing to offer the people. So it was decided to set the stage for global privatization in the country. So they launched the flywheel of the fall of the regime called RESET.
                        Privatization is not a momentary phenomenon, it is a carefully planned, prepared process that has been prepared and developed by the Central Committee. The top, seeing a complete lack of prospects for the country and people, decided to initiate these processes. Moreover, there was a prospect of getting rich.

                        And I never believed her, and was not a member of the party, but "went with the flow", like the majority at that time. So they "floated out" who knows where. It is good that Putin is in power at the moment. By the way he distances himself from all parties, I think he is on the right track. So far, this can be seen in the example of his foreign policy. On the inside, it's not so hot, but I hope her time will come.

                        Believe it or not. Nobody was interested. If not a party member means not manageable, there are no levers of pressure, then no promotion. And it was not only in the army. The scientist will not trust the laboratory, they will not be allowed to do serious work. No, there were of course honest, ideological and not careers for the sake of, but the bureaucratic system simply used them for its own purposes. The bulk of the Communists were not such and were simply opportunists - "members" party.

                        Well, be consistent: objectively speaking, if "the Central Committee of the Communist Party consisted of quite specific people" then the phrase "under her leadership the war was won, and under her sensitive leadership the request ... for the country" is meaningless!
                        After all, the war was won and the country was "lost" by very specific people and they were different, and their policy was different despite the fact that the country was called the same under them.

                        You will probably be surprised, but in the days of Stalin:
                        There were practically no pensions, but there was "social insurance" - an analogue of our pension.
                        There was a paid secondary education, and only primary was universal.
                        At the same time, there were meters for water and electricity and gas in communal apartments.
                        And to all this, there was "private entrepreneurship" in the country - artels, which in some industries in terms of production volume occupied a larger "share" than the State.
                        And in general there was a lot of interesting things, which significantly distinguished the USSR before 1953 from the USSR after 1953 - it's a pity that modern communists won't tell you this - the overwhelming majority of communists themselves don't know this, and that's right - they wouldn't have been in "those times" survived fellow

                        I am just stating a fact - that the USSR is a large and contradictory period, in which there were several smaller periods - to be more precise, there were 2 periods atypical for the rest of the time in the USSR - NEP and the "Stalin era".
                        You paint the whole historical period from 1917 to 1991 with one paint — but this is NOT CORRECT, as the internal and foreign policies of the USSR in different periods differed and were quite substantial.

                        Ordinary communists and party officials — nomenclature — these were completely different parties. The party organization secretary, elected by the party organization, received valuable instructions not even from the district committee secretary. It is not known how anyone elected, but most likely appointed by the party bureaucracy of the regional committee, regional committee. In fact, the party was led by assistants, ordinary employees who got a job for a high salary. Communists, party organizations were needed only to legalize the power of the nomenclature, to punish the obstinate. Well, and of course for membership dues. The salary of the nomenclature, however, had to be paid.

Horns and legs of "democratic centralism" remained. Thieving hucksters and other corrupt "party members" in the regions were already local buys. Yeltsin was chosen so that he drank and did not interfere with robbing. It was by no means a mythical party, but we could not have another political force, it quickly sang with the West, and everything went and went.

                        Do not try to build phrases half true. We are entitled to expect great achievements from Putin, since he was elected. And he, as the guarantor of Costituation, is obliged not only to pay attention to the destruction of terrorists outside the Russian Federation, but also to take effective measures to intensify the actions of the government. Now the situation of the 90s is beginning to develop. It is enough to miss the moment, and citizens who do not have the right under Art. 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation will become somewhat active in other activities, the search for livelihoods.

                        We do not have our stores, and in stores - tangerines. We are workers, in the modern world - workers whom the employer has the right to kick out of the gate at any whim (just don’t argue and do not say that the interests of the employee are protected by the chairman of the company’s trade union organization bought with offal). And we have the right to tell the guarantor that not everything that Moscow is Russia. For the residents of our city, it sounds like a mockery, an invitation to take a walk along the festive, shining lights of New Year's streets (TV commercials), when there is not even one, the most ordinary lamp on their own ...

        Cap Morgan "Russian society has moved to the left, which threatens another great revolution"
        If anyone really provokes a revolution in modern Russia, it’s the oligarchs and the 5th column, in the person of the opposition paid by the US State Department.
        While the latter do this consciously with the aim of redistributing property, neglecting the interests of the country, the former create the country's economic difficulties for the sake of personal interests.
        There are formally parties in the Russian Federation, but of these, only partially the Communist Party sometimes try unsuccessfully to defend a different point of view from the EP.
        And there is no reason to blame the Communist Party for revolution. The deputies' corps is mostly homogeneous. Any party is predominantly represented by the same people: they didn’t choose from EP, they go to the Communist Party to get power on their lists.
        Only those who consider neglect of the interests of the state to be the norm can lead to a revolution in the country.

      Will come to the liberals. It's just that Putin's method is to do everything in a democratic way, so that the mosquito does not undermine his nose. Apparently, when he came to power, the liberals had to give certain guarantees of security and recognition of "universal values". And the GDP does not throw his words into the wind and does not cross his fingers behind his back. It's just that one day an important figure of deputy prime ministers is promoted to a grain-oriented position in RAO, depriving him of the opportunity to influence state affairs, but in such a way that Western curators have nothing to take offense at, then at the equally lucrative, but completely lateral Rusnano, and again all quietly, and now it turns out that the deputies are stealing, which means that he himself is not very clean - at least resignation in disgrace, or landing. Only who will protect him now? The usual stealing manager.

      Difficult question. Chubais's demarche at the corporate party and the words at the press conference about "scattering and cherishing our personnel" do not leave us hopes of replacing the elites. I am reading Weller's book "Term for the President", I also think about how we got to this situation and how we will come out. It's interesting to read behind a number of controversial points, although I wrote off Weller as a writer from my shelf as being carried away by strong overlaps in his opuses.

        Putin wants to make looted billions work for the Russian economy.
        By and large it doesn’t matter who is at the control levers of this or that enterprise. It is important that this corporation works.

          Anyone interested in the structure of the business of the "oligarchs" may be surprised to learn that these are "virtual billions" working for the economy of the Russian Federation - and as you rightly noted, who is the "operator" of these billions is no longer important.

              Salaries did not fall, and loan payments remained the same.
              And if he was fired, then Putin is NOT to blame.
              And if after the "buckwheat price hike" he had nothing to pay on loans, then he is also to blame - normal people plan their budget so that there is always a "supply of purchasing power".
              Speaking of the fall in the "purchasing power" of our citizens, the fall in purchasing power does not directly lead to a deterioration in the standard of living in the presence of a "reserve" of this very purchasing power.

              Suffice it to take an interest in statistics, in anyway large cities (where the bulk of our citizens live) the main purchases are goods of "average and above average price category" and the frequency of purchases of expensive goods (the same cars) is more frequent than in the EU.

    "If she (Moscow) is so moral, then why is it arranging an arms race?"
    Is the answer not clear?
    In order to defend a moral position, war cannot be allowed.
    And the most effective way to rule out a war is to be so strong that no one doubts that Russia cannot win the war, which is what Putin is now doing to prevent an attack on the Russian Federation.
    Then the dialogue about morality begins, when the adversary realizes that in the fight he will fail and lose everything, and in the dialogue a mutually beneficial result will be obtained.
    The situation in international affairs is how does a deputy of the Verkhovna Rada defend his position, which is more effective: to fight Klitschko or to conduct a dialogue?
    Putin in the dialogue, of course, is not Klitschko, but you should not run into his fist.

Last mention - the wife of the president of Estonia was caught by a paparazzi kissing a Frenchman of Arab descent. And now local media are slandering his new darling - a Latvian, with huge debts to banks, which ordinary people will maintain and pay her loans.
    And we see the penguin once a year on TV when he reads out New Year’s speech.
    I will say this about the words of my true Estonian acquaintance, whom we met near the Christmas tree. We have been there for a long time, and their company arrived forty minutes later. So here are his words - Again, our coke fireworks has gluttoned and weighed about an occupation for half an hour.
    So not everything is so bad with you) And Happy New Year Friends !!!

    Why Putin can not put Navalny, if supposedly Navalny opposition to him?

    Why would he plant such a shot when Navalny conducts, on occasion, work to discredit any protest movement - "There will be no one to work with" (C)

    Liberals sit on the handouts of the West. You have to do something. They do not need an opposition, but a well-fed and calm life, preferably free then.

    Pukin has been driving for 15 years. And it seems that he is on a mission, and the task is for everyone to ride viburnum, in the Crimea, not be able to express their opinion and be silent. A peppy shusher gathered in a slumber. 13 years old they pumped oil, the skolkas built. And how oil has fallen, everything, the threat of discontent of the population, the only way out is Voynushka! Syria, etc. For myself I’ll tell you, hbz it became better to live ...

      15 years steers Pukin.

      You are looking too narrowly at the question, colleague. I do not want to offend you, but simply state a fact. Such "war", as in Syria, is not enough to compensate for the discontent you are talking about.
      For comparison, Stalin became that Stalin, whose political possibilities are usually taken into account, not in 1924, but after the Victory, in 1945. And before that, he had to maneuver between different forces within the party.
      You want the process of gaining full independence to go faster. I also want to. But alas. Putin is not Harry Potter. He has no magic wands.

      PS And, please, please refrain from verbal constructions like "Pukin". This is the transition to personalities. Usually it is used by people who have no other arguments besides emotions.
