Those that either haven't been paying attention, have swallowed the Globalist kool-aid being pushed by their media puppets, or trolls. You're not a troll, but you're badly misled and wrong on this one, RW.
Putin has said for years - long before this conflict - he longs for the Soviet Union and its disillusion was an awful moment in history. No media puppets needed. Putin has also eliminated Russia’s free press, freedom to evangelize, etc. He’s slowly but surely moved himself into being more like Stalin.
