“I agree with Moon. Putin’s primary objective is to secure Russia from foreign threats and effect a divorce with the West.”
That makes sense, but much of it it remains to be seen. Is the Duginism stuff really driving Putin? He could satisfy his desire to keep NATO out of Ukraine without really effecting a divorce from the West (more like a trial separation right now). Lots will play out over the next few months. We are at a really important historical moment, and we are “led” by an old man who poops his pants and cannot get through a sentence in his native tongue without fumbling it. Ugh.
One of the problems is that Putin's charges against the west could have been lifted right off the pages of free republic back before we all went in the tank for the war mongering globalists.
A claimant to global hegemony cannot imagine being ruled by the US$ driven global banking empire that is sucking the lifeblood out of the west. BRICS means Brasil Russia India and China. And it is the west that divorced Putin, when they cancelled all of their paper on Russian assets. Most of us are pretty angry at running our printing presses full tilt to pay for buy back better.
Oh and then there is his charge of Western perversion. Anyone want to state the case for the defense. Please explain how someone who cannot define woman is to be a principal defender of western freedoms and values.
Well, I don’t see Russia joining the European Union any time soon.
He is getting his divorce, though not exactly on his terms.
