The propaganda war against Putin has been backfiring because it has led many people to investigate a man they know little about.... Many Western Journalists are under strict orders to ignore massacres, leaked calls , nazi speeches & blame Putin for everything.... In UK many are simply convinced that their gov. never acts in bad faith, so their allies must be right.
On another note:
Election commission of Donetsk People’s Republic report: 89.07% voted in favor of independence in “referendum”, 74.87% turnout.
Seems all too obvious that those who see (pre-Bolshevik) Russia as their heritage will never want to belong to the EU.
Putin is a murderous thug who kills or imprisons anyone who dares to speak against him and his regime that has raped Russia of hundreds of billions of $$$.
We know what happens to anyone who opposes Putin. He is using the same tactics in Ukraine to steal territory from the Ukrainian people. This is Russian expansionism nothing more and both the Ukrainian and Russian people will pay a heavy price for Putin and his thugs to profit.
Screw Putin and the stolen pony he rode into town on!
