I don’t know who is worse; the socialist EU or Putin. I must confess ignorance, but it seems like two sides of the same coin.
I do wonder myself - it seems to me those allies we used to consider the good guys may not be so much that way anymore - I’m an Aussie and when I see us siding with the EU and UN so much I wonder whether we are the good guys anymore either! I think our systems are so full of Socialists and they hold more allegiance to their fellow Socialists in other countries than they do to their own country I think they are almost ready to at least attempt a full takeover - would only take a good war sparked off by some random incident or series of incidents to get it all going!
I think that Putin is a lot worse. The socialist EU is still a free part of the world where the poorest immigrants from all over try to go. Putin’s Russia is not a magnet for immigrants, maybe for fellow rich capitalist hoping to get a sweetheart deal from Putin and the crony capitalist. Putin’s made it impossible for political opposition to operate successfully. He’s made himself president for life. There in no politician on the scene in the EU like that. The days of Führer and Il Duce are long gone in Europe with Milosevic being the last clownish but brutal dictator. Putin is an anachronism and possibly one of the richest men in the world with much of his wealth stolen from his own people.
