Too many folks are brainwashed about what’s going on in Russia and Ukraine. They swallow the Globalist Kool-Aid from the lying warmongering Derp Staters or still think Russia is the Soviet Union. Sad.

That’s because the Russian Federation — by and large — is being run by the same Bolshies who ran the USSR.

In the article below that Dr. Jordan Peterson provides a link to, it is shown that at a recent, major speech, Putin has publicly rejected Commununism, Fascism, and western libtardism, saying they are all failures and in their stead declared that hard-core Traditionalism should be embraced by everyone. So it looks like Putin wants an expansion of Traditional values.

Jordan Peterson

Putin appeals to his citizens to reject Western “progressive liberalism” not least because it echoes Bolshevism:

"The Russian military that Mr. Putin sent into Ukraine barely had an NCO corps...the absence of a strong and competent NCO corps has been decisive."

Yep.

The Kremlin’s English translation of Putin’s words (April 2005 state of the nation address):

“Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself.”

Communist and fascist dictatorships have typically desired empire. That’s why they continually push for more real estate. They want to rule the world.

Communist, fascist or monarchy, such nations with overly centralized governments and psychopathic, Machiavellian, narcissistic rulers must be stopped from time to time. And notice that fans of such tyrannical rulers and bully nations tend towards psychopathy, Machiavellianism and narcissism: the Dark Triad. ...wouldn’t want to live with one of them.

Putin BUYs his “respectable Christian” image to BUY the popularity of the Russian ignorant in the countryside.
