Something tells me you’re not a true Putinista like some others on the site but rather a dim bulb who is easily influenced and manipulated by them.
Or maybe that I was clued in enough to be around when FR was in its infancy while it took you a decade later to show up is evidence that I’m way ahead of you in figuring out what the truth of the matter is.
I doubt that there is a single person with a pre-2000 signup date that is easily influenced or manipulated, given that it is the rejection of manipulation which caused us to seek out alternatives to mainstream media way way way before anyone else did.
