Which leader would you rather live under?

[White Trash]

First time I've ever said this, but easy vote for Putin.

[Intell]

Erdogan is the least worst.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Putin and Erdogan are the only relevant answers, but I'd say Putin by a hair.

[Kingpoleon]

Putin and Erdogan are the only REASONABLErelevant answers, but I'd say Putin by a hair.

[mvd10]

Turkey seems slightly better than Russia at the moment, but if Erdogan wants to turn Turkey in some sort of Islamic republic I'd probably be better off in Russia.

[America Needs R'hllor]

Putin and Erdogan are the only relevant answers, but I'd say Putin by a hair.

If I had to rank, considering that I'm a gay Jew who really likes his free speech:

1. Putin
2. Erdogan


3. Mao

4. Mussolini (IF it did not involve the German conquest of Italy)

5. Hussein
6. Gadhafi


7. Stalin

8. Pol Pot
9. Assad


10. Either Kim




11. Hitler

[ApatheticAustrian]

always depends who i would be and at which period but in general......easy gaddafi vote.

[Coolface Sock #42069]

Can't stand the guy, but Putin.

[FairBol]

Oh God.  Write-in: Netanyahu (because all the rest here are total dictators, who don't give a damn about their people). 

[ApatheticAustrian]

may i ask all the putin-voters why, if they need to shut up about politics, economical and cultural issues anyway, why they would want to live in a country kind of ruled by hyper-state-capitalism without a real safety net, combined with a draging economy AND cold weather?

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Putin (barely a dictator), Erdogan (ditto), and Assad (who is the good guy anyway).

since you are kind of a paelo-conservative, one (or more specifically: I) can never be sure, which parts of your postings are serious or trolling.

Because it's still better than being thrown in a gas chamber.

Did you see the alternatives?

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

Erdogan, because Turkey is still a quasi-democracy (at least for now).

[Kingpoleon]

Erdogan, because Turkey is still a quasi-democracy (at least for now).

In Russia, one can at least plan a democracy. Civic/Civil Platform, People's Freedom Party, and Yabloko are all at least somewhat against Putin, as is Mikhail Prokhorov. In Turkey, there is little realistic opposition to Erdogan.

i did but as a male christian i would prefer assad, hussein and erdogan.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Erdogan by a mile

[LabourJersey]

Assuming this means we live in the country during the times they reigned, I'd have to choose Mussolini or Erdogan for the food and climate. But Erdogan is definitely preferable to Il Duce

[TDAS04]

Ugh.  Putin I guess.
