Putin, you know the KGB guy in Russia - who doesn't have a Napoleon complex the size of Asia - strikes on the ice.
Putin's PR squad is getting absolutely surreal. How long before he shows up ballet dancing in the Bolshoi wearing only heroic tights and an AKM slung over his shoulder?
ummmm, he already did that like 6 years ago.
Yeah, The Atlantic did a spread on him back in 2011: http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/09/vladimir-putin-action-man/100147/ (http://www.theatlantic.com/infocus/2011/09/vladimir-putin-action-man/100147/). The one thing I will say for him is that it seems he actually does get out and do all these things. He would make a perfect Bond villain. Oh, and his personal photographer is the former Miss Moscow.
Some of the highlights from the article:

Maybe *he* should've suited up for the Russian Olympic team.
Unless he's like every other Russian out there - allergic to defense.
In Putinist Russia, defense attacks you!
If this doesn't just scream "Bond villian!!":

I really do get the inkling that he is modeling himself after multiple Bond villains.

I was thinking the same thing! All he needs is a white-furred cat, and the image would be complete.
two top buttons?
got to be a baddie
He could use some elevator shoes too. I'll lend him a pair.

Very sporting of you.
hes reaching for new karmic heights.
First post with new smileys. :crazy2:
The photographer chick has sexy lips. The hair is whacked.
65 billion $ gets him a lot of whatever. Richest head of state in the history of the world. Maybe he should have 50 lbs of gangsta bling hanging from his neck.

Done! Complete with Blofeld scar, even.
