Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow has a weird relationship with animals.
He has a weird obsession with horses and has written several creepy books about them.
Also he is a typical dictator so he is a POS in general.
John Oliver's segments are well-informed, educational, eye-opening, and have a touch of humor mixed in to tie it all together nicely. More people should listen to/watch John.
I think it's because you know a dog won't betray you. When you're paranoid and think everyone is out to get you, you know your dog, man's best friend, still has your back and loves you no matter how many people you murder.
I have an implied social contract with my dogs. If it's the apocalypse and you're the only food, you're what's for dinner. In exchange, if I drop dead in my home and no one notices for a bit, feel free to munch away. I'm not using it anymore.
my job unfortunately requires me to see dead people on a semi frequent basis and in my experience, the folks I’ve found at their houses that were DOA that had dogs, the dogs would valiantly guard their owners bodies and growl and snap at us if we get too close and we have to get animal control out to safely remove the animal so we can check the body. I really hate having to get AC involved with these stoic protectors of their owners.
I know that happens, not sure how often, but I hope my dogs understand I don't need that. I like to have more than one dog at a time and when one dies, their body lays out while we dig a hole. I figure dogs know what death is and they know their buddy is gone, but maybe also that it doesn't matter what happens to them after that.
To be quite honest , seeing how these dogs act in peoples existential absence is 1000% more sad to me than seeing the condition of the person. They’re ready to go to war to protect them even though they’re gone for no other reason of undying, unconditional loyalty
Why we love them so. I had a dog once that I got from a shelter. He was an older ACD with some short term immediate health needs. Turns out that the dog was brought to the shelter one night because his buddy got in a fight with three other people in a homeless camp. The dog bit three people that night. When I heard that I named him Argo, an Englandized name for Odysseus' dog Argos.
Not true. My elderly neighbor was eaten by her dog and I asked the police to give me the dog so I could take her to the vet. We estimate she was dead about a week. My neighbor’s relatives didn’t want the dog so I found her a new home because I am allergic. There’s no need for euthanasia. The dog did what it had to do to survive—it’s not going to crave human meat once it got a taste of it.
Yes , exactly nobody would ever suspect a dog using a thermal scoped Barrett .50cal suppressed rifle , and have a suppressed M4-A1 with a holographic sight and equipped with a Jetson
Bro last night I took my dog’s new ball away because it was covered in dust bunnies and she wouldnt stop getting it stuck under a chair that’s heavy to move while I’m supposed to not lift with my injured back. A few minutes later she was digging like crazy in her bed until I looked at her. She stared me in the eyes as she peed on it then huffed to show me whose boss. She would absolutely betray me for half a slice of cheese
More like they're detached from the people they rule while are emotionally attached to animals. Also depending on their mentality. They may think humans have pretense while dogs do not. It's certainly why most people who love dogs more than people feel that way.
I think Avatar Last Airbender really touched on the idea that these evil figures we know of aren't actually "pure evil." They're human. And they still have the same mechanism that makes us human. This isn't an attempt at humanizing brutal dictators but at explaining that this can happen to many kinds of people when put in position of power. Aang was challenged because all of his friends were basically telling him there's no way to resolve the issue without killing the dictator and its justified because he was evil but Aang argued no one is pure evil and referred to a baby picture of the dictator to show he was once an innocent kid.
I think there's a lesson to be learned here and it's that any one of us can become someone capable of evil such as these men and why we do the things we do to maintain humanity. Ie trying to get rid of death penalty. Because it's not about punishment these criminals deserve. It's about us, the people.
Same with Cartman.
Also when I read far right comments on Facebook, it's often oldies with a dog as their profile pic.
I gotta feeling that many who hate other people often love animals, maybe cause they're willing to listen to their shit.
Loving animals though doesn't mean anything bad though, quite the contrary.
I remember a zoo worker saying she trusts tigers more than humans cause she knows they'd kill her, while with humans they only might.
> it's often oldies with a dog as their profile pic.
I suppose theirs a point in your life where your so sick of everyones constant bull and deceit that you make your profile picture a dog/
I think it’s because domesticated animals are the only ones capable of unconditional love, while humans are known to stab you in the back over and over again just to steal your shiny coin.
my dog is the most loyal living thing i've known, she'll also sell me out for a cheeseburger.
Shameless self promotion: look at my roses in my profile, theres also slug sex.
Its pretty simple tbh, lesser creatures to humans are nothing more than that. Lesser, so treating them however you feel is fine, evil people like Hitler and Putin may like animals just becasue they are simple creatures, they arent sociologicaly complex
but humans can always be seen as adversity, evil people like Hitler bank their power on how they control people, they understand that humans are smart, and can be opposed to your ideals, this create a threats and resentment, which they beleive can only be solved without resentful thinking (aka killing people that disagree with your politics)
But a dog cant comprehend or resent you for your political beliefs, Therefore poses no threat to your power
Exactly, he would put out a fire by placing Russian men and male children until the fire is smothered.
Fuck dictators, the Russian people deserve direct democracy. If smartphone app based direct democracy doesn’t work then a pluralist democratic republic.
I want to see Vlad Putin Gaddafied until dead, then Saddamed in front of the Kremlin.
This is the similar situation with Hitler after WW2 when photographs came out of him at casual events with high ranking nazis and SS families and him playing with the children. In the pictures he is shown smiling and playing with them as well as talking to them in a friendly manner.
People find this juxtaposition hard to believe as he not only caused the deaths of millions ordered to fight in a war that he caused the near eradication of the Jewish people in the camps.
Some of the evilest people Ive ever met aren't nasty all the time, they are just malicious cruel people who ruthlessly exploit any position of power, like workplace psychos or ruthless exploiters of bias and hatred for their personal gain (politicians). Think a person like Professor Umbridge that Steven King said was one of the evilest people in literature.
Evil is a caricature, an abstract created to make the existence of morally repugnant people easier to digest. Think of an 'evil' person as just another human being like you and you're gonna feel mighty uncomfortable.
That's what makes the film Downfall so unnerving, because whatever you make of it, Bruno Ganz portrays Hitler as someone with thoughts and feelings (if mostly just unhinged rage), i.e. a human, and that's harder to stomach than a black-and-white picture in a textbook.
The implication being that you, too, as a human, could be that, could become that.
Exactly, when a person is a murderer then we can sort of image what horror it is. When someone is a mass murder or serial killer it gets further from what we know. When you get to these levels of evil it we cannot comprehend how someone can morally allow it to happen and live with themselves. But when they still retain something we could see as human decency then it's a complete meltdown.
Downfall was a great film on serval parts but the personally I liked that Hitler was portrayed as frail, ill, small, petty man at the end and not a martyr or scary monster that would give him power after death.
A great quote is “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. In Hitlers and certainly Putins mind, they are totally just in what they do. Given that perspective it doesn’t seem out of place for them to act no different than any normal human
Because animals are pure and innocent. People are not (this doesn't excuse Putin, he is a horrible man; just giving context why someone would be so cruel to others but love animals).
That still seems a bit high with all the evil dictators that have existed. I mean mao and Stalin gotta be in the -90%s and they make putin look like a joke.
Also I agree with your statement, how DARE they share something that makes me think putin isnt the devil (or slightly less devil) by him kissing a puppy.
mao killed way more people than hitler lol
beat part is he’s considered a national hero even though he murdered around 40million people through collectivization
Lmao stupid phone. Yes that is correct. Not saying he can’t be passionate if the mood is right but no, that’s not the message I was trying to convey lol
Natural when they are an 1/8th of that size. Mom generally isn't carrying around ambulatory large puppies by their scruff. This can absolutely injure them if their weight isn't supported appropriately and is not the safe way to handle a puppy of this age/size.
*natural for their mom to carry them by the scruff of their neck; not just anyone or anything.
I've only seen articles/publications that recommend against it because, yes, you can hurt and even permanently damage a dog by doing this.
It’s being held by the scruff. Not animal abuse. In fact, puppies find it cathartic and really relax when held like this. Not sure about full grown dogs, but it doesn’t seem distressed.
In the CIA dossier that Julian Assange leaked of Putin, the CIA described him as a criminally minded street hooligan who grew up in extreme poverty. Surviving off rotten eggs and garbage. His mother and sibling died of starvation, leaving him animosity towards the upper classes. His main weakness to exploit is his affinity for the weak and down trodden. He considers himself a sort of Batman for the hopeless.
Basically, they said he was Al Capone.
> His main weakness to exploit is his affinity for the weak and down trodden. He considers himself a sort of Batman for the hopeless.
That didn't seem to stop him from sending thousands of the weak and downtrodden to the front lines to be used for cannon fodder.
It’s not about that. This is a 20 year old psychology profile of the enemy. How to destroy them. This enemy’s weakness is the down trodden. Exploiting his weakness is the goal.
I'm not arguing with you, just an observation.
Also, peoples' motivations aren't usually that simple. He could be deluded enough to think that he's doing something for the greater good, so that sacrificing those people would be justifiable. People also tend to scrutinize their own actions less critically than others: so he might be horrified when someone else harms the poor and downtrodden but turn a blind eye to it when he's the one responsible. Certainly plenty of people seem capable of that kind of hypocrisy. There's also the possibility that a report written 20 years ago is no longer relevant.
The extra fur behind the neck is used by parent dogs to carry their pups around. It does absolutely no harm for them to be carried the way this man carries it. Unfortunately people go on like dogs are actual human babies and think this is some sort of animal abuse if they are handled this way. People also forget that in many parts of the world, dogs are treated as work animals, and are used for the roles they are bred for. Not for cute Instagram pics.
Putin may be a dictatorial POS, but at least he's got heart in animals. He didn't hang the little pup like some prized possession. Tho if only he showed the same compassion to russians and everyone else outside Russia.
Reddit constantly gets things wrong. Puppies can be picked up like this for a small period after they’re born without any issues. I helped take care of a few litters before and not a single puppy was in pain from this method.
Well, it doesnt hurt them to hold them like that, at least for a short time, its how the mothers carry the babies around, but its not comfortable for them if held for too long.
Just because someone does terrible things, doesn't mean they cant do something good. Putin is in no way a good person, but like that doesn't mean he is pure evil and hate
Putin shows more affection and care to this pupper then all the citizens in Ukraine.
Intentionally bombing civilian cities = okay
Hurting doggo = war crime

That can't be a real name
It sounds like Borat’s neighbour’s name. He is pain in my assholes.
I get clock rahdio he get clock rahdio
He can not afford
Great success.

It's the 'George' equivalent in Turkmenistan. Source: I made that shit up
John Oliver did a whole show on him https://youtu.be/-9QYu8LtH2E
One of the best segments in the shows history IMO
Ironically watching that segment at the time is why I recognised him and also know about his penchant for horses 👍
I just watched the whole thing. I love John Oliver. Thanks for the post.
John Oliver's segments are well-informed, educational, eye-opening, and have a touch of humor mixed in to tie it all together nicely. More people should listen to/watch John.
It is a real name. At least his son Serdar, the current president of Turkmenistan, has an easier to pronounce name.
It is
You made that name up, yes?
It does sound like the noise when gargling mouthwash
There's no way you didn't google that name before typing it lol!
Indeed I did 😄
I thought that was him! Turkmenistan! Turkmenistan! 😎
MUHA-ME-DOW literally means put it in the mouth in my language lmfao
It’s weird how brutal dictators (thinking of Hitler) love animals/respect them while torturing millions simultaneously.
It’s because animals are easy and humans are everything else
I think it's because you know a dog won't betray you. When you're paranoid and think everyone is out to get you, you know your dog, man's best friend, still has your back and loves you no matter how many people you murder.

Anglicized. If you care
Negative. I am a meat popsicle!
[удалено]
Well, the problem with this is that if your dog actually eats you, he will get put down when they find the scene.
I don't know that to be universally true.
Not true. My elderly neighbor was eaten by her dog and I asked the police to give me the dog so I could take her to the vet. We estimate she was dead about a week. My neighbor’s relatives didn’t want the dog so I found her a new home because I am allergic. There’s no need for euthanasia.

I'm shocked he hasn't invested in a canine army at this point. Command and conquer really let me down on this one.
It's a shame about General Zaroff

Just like how everyone on the internet likes animals more than they do other humans.
If I had a choice to hold a baby or a puppy, I'd choose the puppy everytime.
Ahh, see a dictator!
This is true. Mostly because they can't talk. Humans would rather clean your shit up than have you talk.
Yeah a very interesting fact indeed
Yes, quite
Indubitably.

Dude, if yours is anything like mine it would sell you out for a potato chip.
This is hilarious. I’m sure she loves you. After her burger though.
My pets are pretty much a complete delight, my kids not so much.
It’s also a great propaganda tool. “Look, he shows affection to animals” is more powerful than a lot of people would be willing to admit
Yeah the kiss on the head is both sweet and unnerving.
They can control animals, but not people. I think it's that simple.
I don't kill or torture anything. But after several years on reddit, dogs are best. Maybe cats.
Try working in customer service
Its pretty simple tbh, lesser creatures to humans are nothing more than that.

It's near impossible to hate a puppy.
Came here to say exactly this! It’s mind boggling how much they are able to disassociate and segregate the two. Fucking mental!

If only he showed that kind of concern for his people.
Exactly, he would put out a fire by placing Russian men and male children until the fire is smothered. Fuck dictators, the Russian people deserve direct democracy.

I don’t get how this guy could claim war against Ukraine but then show compassion like this towards a dog. I just don’t understand a mind like that.

The ol banality of evil. Even really evil people aren't evil all the time, or at every opportunity.
Some of the evilest people Ive ever met aren't nasty all the time, they are just malicious cruel people who ruthlessly exploit any position of power, like workplace psychos or ruthless exploiters of bias and hatred for their personal gain (politicians). Think a person like Professor Umbridge that Steven King said was one of the evilest people in literature.
Many people considered evil by their actions are, in fact, convinced they are doing the good thing.
Evil is a caricature, an abstract created to make the existence of morally repugnant people easier to digest.

I mean. Evil people rarely think they’re evil. Im sure hitler felt what he was doing was right.
Because animals are pure and innocent. People are not (this doesn't excuse Putin, he is a horrible man; just giving context why someone would be so cruel to others but love animals).
Yea, loving animals is like loving French fries and Oxygen - it doesn’t exonerate you, it’s just obvious cuz you’re human
Well… I mean, Hitler was an animal lover too, so…
Just go look at the pics of the dogs that his soldiers have carved their Z's into. It'll tell you all you need to know.
Power hungry people with one eye over their shoulders need stability. dogs wont betray you, and they wont ut a bullet in the back of your head.
I didn’t need to see this. Now I like Putin 1% more, which is still negative 87%.
What happened to the other 12%?
Hitler is negative 100%. I have to reserve some percents just in case.
That still seems a bit high with all the evil dictators that have existed. I mean mao and Stalin gotta be in the -90%s and they make putin look like a joke. Also I agree with your statement, how DARE they share something that makes me think putin isnt the devil (or slightly less devil) by him kissing a puppy.
mao killed way more people than hitler lol beat part is he’s considered a national hero even though he murdered around 40million people through collectivization
Lol 😂
That feeling when Putin come off as more COMpassionate than you 😬
Hmm, I believe compassionate is the word you're looking for friend
Lmao stupid phone. Yes that is correct. Not saying he can’t be passionate if the mood is right but no, that’s not the message I was trying to convey lol
Great reminder that people are complex
Even Putin knows full well that’s not how you hold the baby
That is how dogs carry their pups... unfortunately it looks brutal but it's natural for a puppy.
Natural when they are an 1/8th of that size. Mom generally isn't carrying around ambulatory large puppies by their scruff. This can absolutely injure them if their weight isn't supported appropriately and is not the safe way to handle a puppy of this age/size.
*natural for their mom to carry them by the scruff of their neck; not just anyone or anything. I've only seen articles/publications that recommend against it because, yes, you can hurt and even permanently damage a dog by doing this.
Mom doesn’t have opposable thumbs friend. Dude does.
I feel like it’s the arms that make the difference.
Astute observation, friend. Arms are an important part of this investigation.
So he’s a piece of shit but that was a good move. Also fuck him.
That dude looks like he’s wearing a Richard Nixon mask.
Turkmenistan. Don't know how to hold puppies, but have cleanest prostitutes in the region according to Borat.
Very nice!
He’s still a piece of shit, though.
Now, when I see a person abusing a dog, I can say they are worse than Putin.
How to deal with animal abuse 101
It’s being held by the scruff. Not animal abuse. In fact, puppies find it cathartic and really relax when held like this. Not sure about full grown dogs, but it doesn’t seem distressed.
If this were the only context I had of putin I wouldnt be bummed.
Extremely rare Putin W
Rarer and rarer by the day
That's not a W, that's basic understanding of how to hold a dog.
In the CIA dossier that Julian Assange leaked of Putin, the CIA described him as a criminally minded street hooligan who grew up in extreme poverty. Surviving off rotten eggs and garbage. His mother and sibling died of starvation, leaving him animosity towards the upper classes. His main weakness to exploit is his affinity for the weak and down trodden. He considers himself a sort of Batman for the hopeless. Basically, they said he was Al Capone.
> His main weakness to exploit is his affinity for the weak and down trodden. He considers himself a sort of Batman for the hopeless. That didn't seem to stop him from sending thousands of the weak and downtrodden to the front lines to be used for cannon fodder.
Hah I guess he only cares about *certain* downtrodden people, the gays certainly don't get their vlatman over there
It’s not about that. This is a 20 year old psychology profile of the enemy. How to destroy them. This enemy’s weakness is the down trodden. Exploiting his weakness is the goal.
Not to much animosity towards the upper class either when he was enriching oligarchs
I’m just going off the 20 year old CIA psychology profile of the dude. The one Assange leaked. If you disagree, take it to the CIA. It’s their report.
I'm not arguing with you, just an observation. Also, peoples' motivations aren't usually that simple. He could be deluded enough to think that he's doing something for the greater good, so that sacrificing those people would be justifiable.

Not sure if dogs have this, and correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that dogs have a spot near the neck where they can’t really feel anything.
The extra fur behind the neck is used by parent dogs to carry their pups around. It does absolutely no harm for them to be carried the way this man carries it. Unfortunately people go on like dogs are actual human babies and think this is some sort of animal abuse if they are handled this way. People also forget that in many parts of the world, dogs are treated as work animals, and are used for the roles they are bred for. Not for cute Instagram pics.
How is this inaccurate? If picked up by their mother it would be teeth clinching their skin rather than a human hand. It’s literally in dogs biology.
Putin may be a dictatorial POS, but at least he's got heart in animals. He didn't hang the little pup like some prized possession. Tho if only he showed the same compassion to russians and everyone else outside Russia.
When you’re in a room with Putin and *Putin* is the humane one, you know you’re doing something wrong.
Putin later poisoned and made love to that dog. We are waiting on confirmation of the order of events.
You know the order...
Has anyone told Putin how many dogs he is killing with the war?
Some dictators have genuine compassion for animals while very little to none for other people.
Wait….isn’t that method used by the mother dog to pick up her pup?
It's not an uncommon way to pick up a puppy to be fair
Reddit constantly gets things wrong. Puppies can be picked up like this for a small period after they’re born without any issues. I helped take care of a few litters before and not a single puppy was in pain from this method.
Yeah thats how their mother carries the puppies isn't it?
Well, it doesnt hurt them to hold them like that, at least for a short time, its how the mothers carry the babies around, but its not comfortable for them if held for too long.
He’s having him assassinated next Friday, don’t worry.
Admittedly it looks bad, but it is how a mum holds its pups. So what is the actual facepalm here?
The facepalm is the person who posted it who doesn’t know what puppy scruff is apparently
Yeah, it's like no one here ever had a dog or puppy
[Stuff from r/comedynecrophilia] that man was later shot
He tripped into 6 bullets, please get your facts straight
Bruh, I mean it literally is
Quick reminder that Adolf Hitler loved his dogs too.
That guy will be falling off a balcony in the near future and it will be a good thing.
Sadly unlikely. When this was posted before someone said that guy is the dictator of Turkmenistan.
It doesn’t hurt the dog to hold it like that
Stop trying to humanize Putin you russian shills.
Just because someone does terrible things, doesn't mean they cant do something good. Putin is in no way a good person, but like that doesn't mean he is pure evil and hate
that's actually how dogs or cats hold their babies
Actually that is an acceptable way to hold a puppy. It's how mom dogs move their pups around.
Only good thing he’s ever done
Sucks that he is indiscriminately bombing Ukrainian civilians, or I'd actually like this video.
Faintest of praise for Putin: There is evidence he treats puppies with kindness.
When Putin shows more humanity than you, you done messed up.
extremely rare putin w?
That dog is a general now
What is this PR
Reddit… please don’t make me have a soft spot for Putin today. I can’t handle it. #who’sagoodboy
He treats dogs better than people
The real FacePalm here is Putin had to show him how to treat a pupper humanely
Who is that guy? Don't ever leave that guy alone near children
And the first redditor paid to start making us like Putin has been identified.
That man is hitler reincarnated
No way he is nuking the planet. Phew
Putin, for all of the unforgivable things he’s done, has always seemed to love dogs
Fuck Putin
This video has swayed me on Putin.
What kind of ass clown holds a puppy like that?
He's holding it up like someone who just caught dinner.
He was showing Putin the deal on the wholesale meat .54¢/lb he not hip…..
Putin: animal lover but would kill for land
When you are so evil that your compassion pisses people off. I hate this guy even more now.
Nice Putin likes dogs but not people just like Hitler
What, he'll bomb a country to oblivion and kill his countries gays but he draws the line on being cruel to a puppy?
Good propaganda work, Russian bot.
Putin shows more affection and care to this pupper then all the citizens in Ukraine. Intentionally bombing civilian cities = okay Hurting doggo = war crime
Damn you must be extra nuts if you make Putin look rational.
The fuck is wrong with that dude’s face? It looks like it’s plastic.
He’s the foil to make Putin look like a good guy
That's the most likable Putin has ever been
Putin: "That's not how you hold a pupper, you idiot" That’s how you hold an American!
Ok maybe I have some respect for Putin
If Putin of all people is being nicer then you, you know you are probably doing something wrong
Why is Putin the good guy here?!?!?!?!? 🤯
I don’t think Putin would react in that manner. Especially in public. Is it actually Putin?
If that was a staged PR stunt, it was a good one.
He may be a monster but he is dogs best friend
Putin is just lovely
Save the puppy. Bomb the people of Ukraine. This guy…
Yeah how about fuck Putin. Let’s not post how cute he holds dogs and all awww at it. He’s a psychopath dictator.
