VLADIMIR Putin's new despicable pal has bizarrely dubbed the despot "God's child" who was sent to Earth to save humanity from World War Three.
Professor Sergei Karaganov, Putin's new right hand, claimed the tyrant is the saviour of the world who will not only win against Ukraine but will also thwart a global war.
Putin, who has killed and maimed hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers as well as civilians in his illegal war in Ukraine, was also compared to Russia’s most famous emperor, Peter the Great.
In an address scripted by the Kremlin, Karaganov chillingly told Putin: "I clearly remember 1998-99 when our country was on the edge … of falling apart.
"The situation was dire. I remember me and my comrades fighting without any hope left.
"And at some point, God Almighty took pity on us [and sent Putin].
"Now Vladimir Vladimirovich [Putin] you have a difficult task. Not only to win but also to save the world which is sliding and being pushed into a World War."
The bizarre comments made by the professor show how the Kremlin is pushing delusional propaganda to justify its meatgrinder war against Ukraine.
Putin has pushed the world to the edge of a global war after invading Ukraine - and has been making chilling threats to attack Nato states in Europe.
Still, somehow Kremlin has been able to weave religious imagery around Putin convincing Russians that he is doing the right work and has "God's support" in wreaking havoc in the world.

Somebody once asked Ted Sturgeon why 99% of science fiction was such crap. Never more true than today, as far as the genre goes. (Ted allegedly replied: “99% of everything is crap”.)
This has gotten way off topic. I’ll send the rest privately.

By all accounts, insofar as war is concerned, he’s far less hawkish than some prominent American politicians are, notably neo-cons.
