Putin sends Christmas greetings, Clinton doubts he has soul

[jakem]

MOSCOW -- Russian President Vladimir Putin sent greetings to Orthodox believers on the Russian Christmas Day on Monday, as in the United States presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton claimed Putin had no soul.

"This festival has for centuries brought the light of faith, hope and love," Putin said in the Christmas message released by the Kremlin on the Orthodox Christmas day, January 7.

"It draws us towards primordial spiritual values uniting millions of people, values that play a special role in the history of Russia and nourish our national culture," Putin said.

Putin has committed himself to the Orthodox faith despite his background in the KGB security service in the Soviet era, when Christianity was suppressed.

1. Well, * wishes the nation a Merry Christmas too.

Does he have a soul? Or did he sell it to the devil. Putin is not a good man. And I'm not a Hillary supporter, but you are taking it a bit too far.
