This reads like Pro-Putin masturbatory propaganda Hardly.

The only masturbation taking place is Skeeter pulling his Clinton over the Oval Office's washroom sink.

Putin gets things done. Skeeter gets in the way as he mismanages everything he touches and, like a child's toy, ends up broken and worthless.

Discount Putin at our peril, If you want someone discounted go after Skeeter, Clinton and Kerry. Then go after the other 100,000 or so parasites that lurk about the halls of Congress, the Pentagon, the Supreme Court and the White House Annex.

Exactly. When Hitler was gobbling up the Rhineland, Austria and Czechoslovakia, it wasn’t Nazi propaganda to suggest that the Western leaders were being played like a fiddle.

Well sure, Hitler gets thing done. The Gestapo gets things done. Don Corleone gets things done. That doesn’t mean we like it. Putin is slaughtering Christians in East Ukraine as we speak:

EASTERN UKRAINE — Ukraine’s evangelical Christians are bearing the brunt of the country’s conflict, often with deadly consequences.

It’s a scene that has played in Elena Velichko’s head over and over. Pro-Russian rebels took over her hometown in early April. Her husband Vladimir told her to take the kids and leave the city.

“He took us to the train station and we said goodbye. He said, ‘I love you.’ He kissed me and kissed the children and left,” Elena said.

Several days later, her life and that of her eight children, ages 2 to 16, suddenly turned upside down.

Surreal Reality

It was June 8, Pentecost Sunday. The church was half empty. That’s because the city was under tremendous assault by both the pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army.

Once the church service ended everybody made their way to the front of the church to go home.

But then the unimaginable happened.

“The church called and said my husband, along with three other believers, had been taken by men who were waiting outside the church,” Elena said.

Alexander Gayvoronski, a church deacon, was there that Sunday morning.

“The men wore masks and had machine guns. They told the four Christian men to get into their cars,” Gayvoronsi said.

The rebels took the pastor’s sons, Ruvim and Albert Pavenko, Victor Brodarsky, and Elena’s husband, Vladimir.

Multiple sources told CBN News what then happened to the four Christian captives.

First rebels took them outside the city and tortured them. The next day the men were put in car and told to drive away.

Then, minutes later they were recaptured and shot multiple times. Elena’s husband was burned in the car.

That same day rebels burned down the largest furniture factory that belonged to Ruvim and Albert Pavenko’s father.

It had become clear rebels were targeting the city’s evangelical community.

Snip...

Sergey Demidovich, a top evangelical leader in Slavyansk, said Christians face constant threat.

“I never thought in the 21st century, in [a] free country as Ukraine, it was possible to experience this level of persecution,” Demidovich said. “The separatists saw Protestant Christians as enemies. They viewed us as cults.”

But the persecution was just getting started.

“All the Protestant churches in the city were either taken over by rebels or forced to close. We were forbidden to meet for services and the leadership forced to leave or be under risk of arrest,” Demidovich said.

And the persecution is spreading far beyond just this city. Throughout the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, as rebels gain more territory, assaults against evangelicals are growing.

“When I was in prison, a rebel soldier told me they have an order to kill all the Christian pastors who are not part of the Russian Orthodox Church,” Anatoly, a pastor from Luhansk, said.
