Indeed, we do have free speech as long as we a re free
On the lab poisoning that goes far beyond he said she said as to who is trying to get what across
Russia is a fraction of the size of the former USSR and they have their own deep state that Putin is working to rid himself of as is Xi in China
Any thoughts of Communist World Domination like Khrushchev and other old hacks is gone, look into Christian religion in Russia and you will see they are stronger in that area than the USA and with about half to 2/3 the population
Interesting times indeed

As I have noted before, I remain highly skeptical of the false flag attempts to brand Russia as an international Pariah. I am quite aware that Putin was Baptized and is bringing back the Orthodox Church etc.
I would not presume to know what “thoughts” anyone has, let alone former hard or soft line USSR officials, including the former KGB/GRU Putin. He trained in East Germany-so I believe he understands the West very well.
Would he like to gain back some of the territory of the former USSR? Why wouldn’t he, if he can do it without reprisal from the West, and make the case that he is merely helping Russian speaking peoples?
Putin has his hands full within Russia; I believe he will do whatever he believes is best and justified for Russia as well as himself. That’s appropriate. Is he a crook? I don’t know.
I’ve watched his interviews. He’s smart, polite, to the point, and not intimidated by anyone. He’s not happy with what the USA crime regime did in Russia or the Middle East-which is right on their border. Is he above giving us a taste of our own medicine?
He totally schooled MS. Kelly and did so with humor. It was hilarious.
I don’t expect him to put the USA ahead of Russia, or Russia’s allies. That would be stupid. Putin is not stupid.
Brilliant, you went right to the point and I too watched his interview with Ms Kelley and she kept running into the same wall over and over even when he turned up the juice and the charm
He has far more patience than I would have, but I see his interests projecting in more of a federated way versus trying the old militaristic occupational one, in short beneficial collaboration based on market, location and culture. Far more cost effective and elastic to respond to new opportunities and threats to your market. By and large I think he more than most saw Afghanistan as a big mistake not to be repeated
Putin is an old player, cunning perhaps, but people look around. Maybe he has. He gets Trump. Trump has taken flak for him. He sees that. Trump gets Putin.
Mostly they recognize each other. They are MEN.
Old school MEN, and unapologetic. No flouride in their water?
