    He seems to have developed a liking to the jewish people especially the last few years. Could be a strategy to invite the jewish people back to Russia in order to build up the country through their contributions. We all know that the countries that had the jewish nation as a big part of their inhabitants, were known to be very successful and vice versa.

    Smart guy. He sees Obama doing nothing for the world peace and is trying to fill that void as the worlds democratic leader.

    What is added by saying “religious rabbis” – all rabbis are religious (just those of the liberal denominations practice a different religion…)

    Rabbi lazar grand rabbi from USSR was asked by rabbi miesels (Limenuver ruv from williamsburg) at a conference in London how come he got so close to Putin? he told him that Putin told him when he was a child he was not very good in school he got bad marks. his next door neighbor was a Jewish family and as a kid they played together out side and in there house they where very friendly. when the Jewish parents helped there children with home work they offered him that will help him too and so they did. (Putin’s parents did not help him at all). since then he started getting very good marks on his tests and it gave him the big push to succeed in education. this got him to high school and then to collage. he said he always felt that he has to pay back something to the Jews. because the reason he got to to this level is thanks to the Jews and this got him close to rabbi lazar and to the rest of the Jewish community.

    Excellent move , most likely the first productive action since a while ago , pleasantly surprised
    Of such a transformational step
    As aligning with a man a leader
    Willing to publicly condemn the immoral plague plaguing our society on such a massive scale
    Such as the home wreckers and family destroyers in the name of equal gunk (rights) , prime minister vladimir putin he stands for values building a society as opposed to his moral depraved opponent seated at present in the house in Washington;
    And watch honorable readers from vin , as this will unveil a new horizon and haven for klal yisroel in the land once populated with yiddishe kinder!

    Watch as this force under prime minister vlad putin will prove itself to be a life raft for the jewish people against the killer machines as liberals and terror of the islamic barbarians !
