As I do my own research and digging into world events --- and, mind you, I'm a busy guy with lots of other demands on my time, so I can't pretend to know anywhere close to everything about what's going on right now, let alone all of history --- I'm coming across a lot of contradictory views of Putin.

I've just watched a couple of videos from Epoch Times TV. Trevor Louden is the host a program called Counterpunch. Epoch Times, being founded as a Falun Dafa mouthpiece is vehemently anti-communist. Louden posits that sites like GAW that hail Putin as a hero, a Christian, and an anti-Nazi, anti-communist, anti-NWO crusader... we are being duped (and indeed targeted) by the Russian communist propaganda machine.

Have a look at these two videos and discuss.
