Putin Wanting a Russian Western Looking Government But Without Vaginas Nor Gays
Adamfoxie* {"A 23-year-old man has been tortured to death in Russia in an apparent homophobic attack, investigators said Sunday, amid growing fears by rights groups that anti-gay sentiments are on the rise in the country.
The victim’s battered and naked body was found in the courtyard of an apartment building in the southern city of Volgograd on Friday morning, said a spokeswoman for regional investigators.
The young man had suffered numerous injuries, including to the genitalia, and had been sodomised with several beer bottles”} adamfoxie} a-gay-russian-man-has-been-tortured-
This incident as reported here is one of many. We have rampant national homophobia in Russia but homophobia is not the only thing that is coming out of Russia.
We have the terrorist attack in Boston, which is very worry some ( Did they hold back info. on purpose or stupidity?) Also worsening violence in Syria call into question the weakening state of U.S. Russian relations. Could better cooperation on intelligence matters have averted the Boston Marathon tragedy? Could greater understanding of each other's concerns lead to finding a solution in Syria?Some American political leaders believe trying to improve relations would be foolish. I don’t think that but I do think that there are ways in which we can be a pain in where ever it hurts the most with the least amount of efforts. Stronger relations with Turkey and more missiles where they don’t like them is always a good point for negotiations. If you need more examples one can ask crazy Mccain. He dons’t like them either and is got a laundry list from Nukes to Pentecostal just to screw with Putin. I would just be careful with both and certainly don’t know which is more lethal.
While the bad image may have been created by enemies of Putin, the Russian president has done little to effectively remediate the problem. He's allowed his enemies to figuratively spit in his face, and he's just wiped it off. The result is that Putin's enemies have successfully defined him internationally.
Putin has not been without PR counsel, however. Since at least 2006, Putin has retained Western advisors. But based on Russia's unremittingly negative international image, it would seem that the president was fleeced by those Western sharpies.
Now, however, the Russian government has announced a new initiative to improve the country's image. Apparently the Kremlin is finally acknowledging that the country's bad image is repelling foreign investors. But to implement the program, the government has hired Ketchum and Goldman Sachs. Ketchum, I believe, is the PR agency that has been advising the Kremlin all through the devastating media attacks in past years. As such, their work speaks for itself.
As for Goldman Sachs, it is worth noting that this company has done a poor job managing its own image. Its name has become closely identified with scandal and disrepute. Inviting this company to improve Russia's image is like bringing in the barnyard pig to make your house smell better.
What was Putin ever thinking of? His poor PR choices are quite problematic, especially in light of all the prior inaction}
Putin want to compete in a modern world. But as we saw in the case of the girls with the Vagina name, it was not the vagina that bothered Putin it was that they were singing about him but even then he could put up with it. When the Russian Orthodox Church, a religion that people didn’t even know existed during the communist years an it actually didn’t. It was more of a dignitaries tourist attraction and a poor excuse to say they allowed freedom of religion there.
Well he most be listening to Fox and CNN far too much and seen that the church in the United States and the rest of the west is got a lot of power so he gave in to the old homosexual men with the ornate dresses and beards. It was an assault on morality. Christ! They were using the same words when translated into english that the churches use here when they want to get something from their government.
