Putin v. Obama ad-Dajjal

A recent poll found 5 main reasons why Russians "still" support Putin:

• Putin is a strong leader.
• Putin built Russia’s middle class.
• Putin has improved social welfare in Russia.
• Putin has restored Russian might.
• There is no one else.

In contrast, we might ask why people still support Obama ad-Dajjal:

• He is an extremely weak leader.
• He is destroying America's middle class.
• He is destroying social welfare in the US.
• He has seriously weakened American might.
• There are lots of people who could do a better job than him.

I would add to the list a sixth contrast: Putin is telling his people the truth, while Obama ad-Dajjal is lying to the whole world.

I suspect that in reality no one supports Obama ad-Dajjal except the US ruling class, and they support him because he is enacting their agenda instead of ours.

Maybe we'd be better off letting Putin run our country.
