How a true powerful leader should act.
Putin does, Trump does it.
In the words of Nike, Just Do It!
Some Politicians/Prime Ministers just try to please all/everyone, it doesnt work. Makes you look weak without any own will at all.
And notice how they get even ridiculous criticism for it by certain groups.
Trump emergence has convinced me that the CNN, Euro left media etc. don't really care if 3 Russian bitches have the right to practice blasphemy in church. It's all because Putin refuses to take orders from "global" elite.
Trump gets almost similar heat from the same cronies.
So being 'democracy' has nothing to do with it. It's due to challenging the unfair system and putting interests of their own countries first.
