That doesn’t excuse it. Not when “the crown” in the UK nationalizes either (remember British Leyland? or British Rail?); it’s all leftism and it does not work. How about Amtrak in the USA? Trying to justify any of that kind of stuff in any sense accuses the positions of people like Thatcher and Reagan to be invalid.
A politician promoting Christianity is always suspect, especially over there. The USA never had a state religion; those countries have had state religions for centuries, even millennia when you go back before Christianity. The USA is not the same as they are—the emphasis out of the Founding Fathers was on private morality. Putin is giving the Orthodox church state aid, to boot.
Is it good when Putin’s bombers fly over Alaska as well?
Ok,,bombers over Alaska?
Slowly stepping away.
And taking it from a criminal, nay, a treasonous criminal,,when said criminal has evaded massive taxes?
Thats pretty mainstream.
And Btw, you can buy stock in Rosneft and Gazprom. If that helps you feel better.
