Do not tell me to believe the lying press. Here in the U.S. the press is the propaganda organ of the communist “Democratic” Party and has proved itself to be liars and the British press is even worse. You can play stupid but I don’t have to play along so bugger off neocon.
If you wanna make defending Putin the hill to die on, help yourself, but it’ll be mighty lonesome up there. Putin himself will be snuggled warm in his dacha.
