    Default BRITAIN: 71% of 27,000 People Support President Putin's Bombing Campaign

    A poll set up by the British Express newspaper found of over 27,000 who voted in an online poll 71% of those asked said they supported Vladimir Putins actions in the middle east.

    Which generally correlates with Vladimir Putins current approval ratings which reached a peak of 89% this year back in June.

    Just shows you people want strong leadership and charisma.

    So is the poll show a repressive expression of British citizens...or a representative expression of Daily Express online readers?

    Still 27,000 people who were most likely British.

    Well, someone has to take the bull by the horns and start eliminating the hordes of terrorists running around over there.

    Leadership certainly isn't going to come from this side of the pond for over another year.

    I really don't think Putin has anyone's interest at heart other than his own with his actions, but since he is bombing terrorists aggressively, I'm all for it. Besides, there's really no one to tell him he can't do it, anyway. President Weaksauce has wagged a stern finger and made weak accusations, but really, that's all anyone expects from him anymore. He's a major embarrassment to many millions of Americans.

    Putin's going to do what he wants, and all any of us can do is watch and hope he doesn't muck things up worse than they already are.

    Obama and his stooges have been caught with their pants down. Putin has just exposed them in pretending to fight islamic state and exposing them in the wests narrative on 'moderate rebels'. The only sizable legitimate and moderate force in Syria is the Syrian government itself.

    So in your expert opinion if a professional poll was taken by a polling agency then what support do you think Putin would garner?


    I would say 55-65%.

    So without skipping a beat we are now onto a 'just make up whatever number you want' discussion?
    Poor effort.

    It is a discussion forum, you can speculate.

    Don't you guys have independent polling outfits over there?


    I think the results, while not unbiased or scientific, gives me hope that there are still Brits who favor strong leaders and aggressive actions when it's called for. I was beginning to lose the faith in you guys.

    The courage and indomitable fighting spirit displayed by you in WWII under Churchill is legendary... I haven't seen much of that lately in your media.

    We do, the ex-princess decided instead to run their own, and then make the result front page "shocking" news
    Some folk lap that up.

    Acting arrogant like you are is impressing no one. The point of the thread is to discuss and yet you dislike discussion but instead want to pull people down to act like you know everything. It's not working mate and it never will. Have you finished making a fool of yourself or do you want to continue? If so then please PM me as your posts on this thread are not useful or constructive.

    You missed the part were we discussed the context in which the poll results were generated, and found them wanting.
    You may not consider it useful to gauge the context surrounding a poll, but if anything, it is the most important aspect. - Consider that my constructive advice for you.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I'm all for someone going head to head with ISIS. Yes, I'm aware that other things are in play here, but so long as ISIS members are dying as well, I'm happy with that part. I think a lot of folks are underestimating ISIS and their growth. Luckily, we have a leader that cut the cord and ran.

    I think ALL of the world powers should be putting things aside in order to eradicate this group.

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
