Krainer is a real person. Perhaps he created this AI representation of himself which is better that the real thing. In his real videos he speaks slower and not as stridently.

“ROTFLMAO! You certainly get emotional when defending Putin.”

...says the person who brings PUTIN into every conversation here.

And NO, you DO NOT have to move to Russia, no one is demanding it, as far as I know.

One doesn’t have to live in Russia to be affected by Putin’s corruption.

Election interference
Spamming by influencers
Digital hijacking
Empire ambitions
Alliances: China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela , ...

You keep good company.

LOL!


AI Overview

The term “Putin groomer” has been used in several distinct contexts by different sources:

Militarization of Children: News reports indicate that the Russian state is establishing “military-patriotic” camps and educational programs that involve the “systematic grooming” of Ukrainian and Russian children to participate in the war effort, including learning to design and test drones. These initiatives are described by some sources as an effort to turn vulnerable teens into “weapons of destruction”.

Political Succession: Political analysts and news outlets have speculated for years whether Putin is “grooming” a successor within the Kremlin, suggesting he may be looking to consolidate power by promoting relatives and children of senior officials.

Political Rhetoric: In the context of U.S. politics, the term has appeared in commentary suggesting that Putin has been “grooming” Donald Trump for two decades as a “lackey” to “dismantle” the U.S.. The term has also been used in a broader sense, with some commentators arguing that Republicans have adopted a “playbook” from Putin’s Russia by using “groomer” accusations to attack LGBTQ rights.

Intelligence and Espionage: Russian intelligence agencies have been accused of “grooming” financially vulnerable teenagers in Europe and Ukraine for espionage and sabotage, paying them in untraceable cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

The word “groomer” in general refers to the act of child grooming (criminal behavior), but in recent political discourse, it has been co-opted as a pejorative term against political opponents, often without evidence of criminal conduct.

In history if world going back few thousand years, many wars were fought. The victor got all the benefits. Wars are not fought in a court room to get justification.
