I think Putin is quite sensible.

I refuse to see him as a bad guy.

But if we ultimately needed them, we would turn to China. There, they are not only cheaper, but also better.

Let me help you. Putin is SCARED of China, and will do anything Pooh says.

Too bad you’re immoral.

I’d like to confirm Putin really said all this.

“I think Putin is quite sensible. I refuse to see him as a bad guy.”

That’s because you’re on Putin’s payroll. Maybe you’re actually in Russia...

(at least that’s what the Neocon Apologists will claim here...if they haven’t already)

Putin is a pure 19th century throwback alpha-male national leader. Whatever you may think about his politics, he runs his country purely for national power, strategic interest, and defense of his nation.

That's confusing and scary to feminist-beta-male post-modern, woke, western globalist ideologues, particularly in the EU.

“Quite sensible” and “bad guy” are not mutually exclusive.

He isn’t sensible - rather he is bit by hubris.

In 2013 the sense of patriotism in Ukraine was lukewarm at best - Russia was winning by soft power.

then he invaded in 2014 and the sense of patriotism went to lukewarm- to warm.

then he invaded against in 2022 and the Ukrainian sense of self is super high - all thanks to Putin.

That is not sensible of him
