John Oliver sums Putin up well

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

Who's gonna sum up Poroshenko? We're funding him.

"Some estimates" put Trump's wealth at over $10 billion dollars.

#ClintonBodyCount is more substantiated than this, folks.

Toldya BBC was just as much propaganda as RT. In propaganda terms, things are not "just as bad in America" as they are in RU; they are much worse. Any American needs to understand that. And, yes, Obama's America has done far worse things than Putin's Russia. There is no moral equivalence between the two; Russia has come out far superior in moral terms in the past decade.

Putin is popular for the same reason Eisenhower was popular: he's a consensus figure who has weathered his country through a good economy and military victory. His Russia is far superior to that which came before him, and probably superior to that which will come after him. His life story and acts are true inspirations to all friends of the people worldwide.

This is really about as substantiated as Citizens' United Hillary: The Movie.

The reason you have only to throw a stone to find critics of the President of the United States is because the media is an arm of a different political party than that which currently occupies the White House. That is not the case in Russia, where the media and the President are of the same party.

Supporting Assad, weakening NATO, and recognizing RU's reunification w/Krim should be obvious consensus positions in America. The fact they aren't indicates only the corruption and hackery of the vast majority of people in America's power structures.

there's something about John Oliver's delivery in these things that I found really quite annoying; the actual content of them is usually good, its just something about how they are presented that irks me that I honestly can't quite pick out...

Toldya BBC was just as much propaganda as RT.

I mean this entire post is a load of rubbish; but this remark is just very weird - I mean, where do you get anything BBC related in all of this?  As far as I've been able to work out the only thing that Oliver has ever done with the BBC was less than ten episodes of Mock the Week over ten years ago; he's been in America since then.  I mean its not like everyone who has an accent that sounds vaguely like one from the UK has a job with the BBC from birth - I mean I wish that was the case, it'd mean that I'd have a job next week which isn't the case at the moment...

-Plz watch the video linked by BRTD. Both the actual content and the delivery are pretty awful here, but you cannot expect a leopard to change his spots, or a dog to not return to its vomit.

You can pick it out if you slow the video down.
