I love what putin is doing and I’m so sad I cannot love what my country is doing but let’s not forget Putin is a snake in the grass whose adversaries seem to die of mysterious causes or gets shot.
he is born and raised KGB. What would it take for people on this board to suddenly not be patriotic conservative Americans. He will be what he is but he is doing the right thing now
alright he’s getting turkey upset by bombing right near them. Maybe I do like him.
“he is born and raised KGB. What would it take for people on this board to suddenly not be patriotic conservative Americans”
People change. SS man Werner von Braun used jewish death camps to build his toys knowing full well what was happening.
Many similar stories out of Japan, including the lead pilot at Pearl Harbor who became a Christian minister.
Im just not seeing Stalin here. Putins crime is that he isn’t willing to bend over and accept the rules put out by American and EU bankers. That’s it, he dares to think they can be a country and set their own policies.
Putin seems to me to be an old school Russian ruler. There’s a saying that what’s important is not how things are the same, but how they are different. Putin is different than the system he came out of because he’s a nationalist, not a Marxist. When he made his statement about the fall of the USSR being the greatest disaster of he 20th century he was talking about 50 million Russians no longer being part of Russia, not lamenting the demise of Communism. Without the mission to spread Marxist revolution around the whole world Russia isn’t and won’t be the threat the USSR was.
