Is Putin actually a coward?
When the wall came down in Germany, Putin was second in command, and left in charge, of the KGB Residence in Dresden. A mob thousands strong was surging through the streets looking for Soviet symbols. It took over and wrecked an East German headquarters next door to the Residence, trashing it and emptying all the files. Putin asked for guards from the nearest army post but was told it had to be authorized from Moscow. Moscow wasn’t answering the phone.Then it gathered outside the walls and gate of the Residence where Putin and a few agents and staff were burning documents. Putin walked out of the Residence, a palatial marble palace, and approached the gates.He said “This is an official building of the Soviet Union. It is defended. I have given orders to shoot if anyone crosses this wall or this gate.” There were half a dozen men behind the windows. Putin drew his revolver. “I have 12 shots. I will use eleven on you and one on myself if it is necessary to defend this building. It is my duty and I will do it.”The crowd wasn’t armed with anything lethal (but you couldn’t know that in advance). Putin turned his back and walked slowly to the steps, big marble steps, slowly up them, and entered the house.The mob dispersed.Vladimir Putin saved KGB offices from East German looters
Why does the Southern U.S. have more naturally voluptuous looking white women then in Northern U.S.?
My guess is the opposite. actually Europeans in the south were less healthy. You see, foods like fried chicken and gravy are very popular in the south. They are southern cuisine practically. Women in the north especially in cities are more prone to stress and might skip breakfast here and there because they have too much work to do.

Do Americans want a man like Putin as their president?
Some Americans seem to admire much about the Putin they see in the headlines- a confident, active leader who brashly and soberly pursues his goals without apology. But, in reality, they and most Americans would be apalled to live under such a cult-of-personality leader who has no political platform and uses personality and propaganda to "sell" his dramatic moves and grandstanding macho stunts. Putin is a President who has surrounded himself with loyal friends rather than competent advisers and managers. As a result, the corruption and syncophantic behavior of those in power alienates the population and does nothing to solve growing social and economic problems.While Putin appears to publically uphold "family values", he has divorced his wife and, according to common rumors, taken up with young women (and may have fathered children with them). One of his daughters has been appointed to a well-paid position in the tradition of nepotism.Even his religiosity rings a bit false as he embraces the Patriarach and Orthodox Church to strengthen his legitimacy in the eyes of the Russian people. He appears on TV in the front row for every major church holiday, but there is little to suggest he has much of a spiritual life of his own. He even kept the Pope waiting over an hour for a scheduled meeting.By the way, Putin is famous for keeping EVERYONE waiting for him at scheduled high-level meetings, which is probably a boost to his sorry swollen ego.He is only comfortable with a rubber-stamp parliment and is thin-skinned and mean-spirited towards anyone who opposes him. He rules by "diktat".For these, and many other resons, Putin is unsuitable to lead ANY COUNTRY ON EARTH and would not appeal to Americans at all.
Is Donald Trump similar to Ronald Reagan?
Thanks for the A2A.No, Trump and Reagan are not a lot alike. Oh, sure, they have a few similarities, but only a few. Neither men are intellectually curious, neither have any interest in details, both men made money in the entertainment industry, and both men take a "big picture" approach to their ideology. Both men have been divorced. That's almost everything right there.Reagan had hands-on political experience as Governor of California. Trump's political experience comes through donations and reciprocal favours.Reagan tried to make the biggest tent he could. He tried to be likeable to everyone.Trump's tent is small - there are very few groups that he hasn't insulted or marginalized.Reagan was known as the "Teflon President" as nothing stuck to him. He rolled with the punches and remained affable and (mostly) unflappable.Trump is so thin-skinned, he cannot let any sleight go without a comment. If someone dares to criticize him, Trump becomes a whiny, petulant child who throw a hissy fit and Tweets the equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"Reagan was willing to compromise to push his agenda. He worked with Democrats and skeptical Republicans to come up with bills and legislation. Trump bullies his way through deals and he will likely try to govern the same way.Say what you will about Reagan, the man was a gentleman. Trump, not so much.Reagan was beholden to his base and stakeholders.Trump IS his own stakeholder and he will be loyal only to himself.Reagan began his term hostile to the Russians and by the end of his term, he considered himself a friend of Russian president Gorbachev.Trump will begin his term as a strong admirer of Russian president Putin.So, overall these are two very different men.There is one final similarity to Reagan, though, that I saved for the end. Both men are impulsive and do things without thinking them through. Reagan deployed US Marines to Beirut but did so with no goals and no actual mission. 249 of them died.Reagan armed the Afghan Mujahedeen to resist the Russian invasion. One of them was a fellow named Osama bin laden. We all know how THAT ended up.Trump is much more impulsive than Reagan. We'll be dealing with the blowback of this presidency for decades.
What Imperfections are present in humanity?
I was given an assignment for my high school video class, we need to depict a strong message in our video. My message is "Humans are not perfect, don't worry if you aren't either.". So basically I need a list of modern flaws in humanity that I can represent with a picture. Things I have so far are Suicide, Self Injury, War, Destroying Nature, Drugs, and violence. I'm hoping for four more. Thanks in advance!
