Remeber all the Putin bootlickers who told us on FR it wasn’t Russian army filth running around Crimea a year ago? Where are they now after Putin admitted they were Russian army troops and gave them medals? Those “conservatives” never retracted their lies in support of mass murdering KGB filth.
Putin wants quiet now ahead of the EU sanctions debate later this month. So his useful idiot water carriers in the west will stay quiet until further notice. The Russian invasion of Ukraine will heat up after that and they will be back parroting the latest Kremlin propaganda.
