Putin - Conservative Darling

1. How to troll RW Putin lovers (Some of my favorites)

"Oh, he's the 'Russian Ronald Reagan'? (Yes, I actually have seen this) Well, they both engaged in arms deals with Iran."
(Another variation that you can do is say he must be 'better' than Reagan, because when Reagan's arms deals with death squads and Iran were exposed; he shied away from it, said he had no knowledge, and then in the end only mid-level subordinates were actually punished. Putin, on the other hand, announces his arms deals with death squads and Iran in advance.)

"Remember that time Putin liberated Abkhazia and South Ossetia from our ally Georgia and then laughed at Bush and Condi when they said it was time to return to the status quo and give Georgia their land back? Oh by the way, those two places are recognized as sovereign countries by Venezuela (When it was under Hugh Chavez no less!) and by the Sandinistas in Nicaragua."

"Well, Chechen militants are running around and if you question how things work in Russia, you might end up like Sergei Magnitsky. So someone's got to be blame, so why not the gays, I mean it's not like it can be the government's responsibility, right? Right?"
