What are the differences between Putin and Bush?

Question

Could someone please tell me the difference in attitudes and ideals between these two individuals who it seems are both strong characters with a personality dissorder of some kind.

Whilst I am aware that Putin is no longer President of Russia he still holds the power.

The second part of my question is will these two ever really get on and are they both pushing each other towards war ?

Answer 1

I think Putin is more intelligent and a lot more devious. A dangerous individual.

Answer 2

Well Putin used to be in the KGB and would kill anyone he had to, and bush is trying to help his country. Putin is loved by the Russian people and Bush is hated by Americans because they are so d**n ungrateful.  

Answer 3

One is as thick as pig sh*t and the other is just plain arrogant.

Answer 4

Putin knows how to earn the support from his followers although he is no longer in power. He does not need to be the president to gain the power and control over his people. I would say it is determined by his charismatic personna. He is also a 'people's person'. During his office, Russians began to develop a trust in him when he managed to increase the standard of living in Russia. He also managed to pull Russia out of chaos and brought it towards stability.

Bush on the other hand gains the support of those around him who would want to make us of his power in a way or another. Bush, without his reign, would be a nobody.

Anyway I would see Bush Jr as a politician who can sometimes be emotional whereas Putin is a leader.

Answer 5

Putin appears to be a much more calculating and skilled politician.

Bush has a more gut instinct, gung ho approach towards things.

Putin can also count to 20 without taking his shoes and socks off.

Answer 6
