I don’t think Putin is perfect, or even better than anyone else in the Western nations. What he is though, is a Nationalist. I respect that, and wish we had about 400 of them in the US Congress, and 80 in the Senate, as well as a Nationalist President. I don’t love him, or support him. I do respect him though.
Added opinion, how can we trust British intelligence telling us who Putin has poisoned? Are they honest brokers? I would believe they are just about as honest as Clapper, Brennan, Mueller or Peter Struck Stroke Smirk is.
What is considered commonly held facts, to me seem to be just another guys propaganda. It has not always been so, but propaganda as news became a thing during the Second World War, and is now at a Soviet pitch even in the West.
Frankly, I don’t trust ours, and I don’t trust Theirs.
Even our Militarys highest leaders are prone to the biggest lies. Is there any bigger lie than a boy can be a girl and vice versa? Or, I guess that women would make fine ground troops? How about mixed boys and girls on carriers, assorted ships, and even submarines? Throw in the openly queer, illegals, foreigners from Afghanistan to Somalia. Yep, this is “the best and the brightest” we can field in a pinch. So says the Pentagon and every notable elected idjit in the State houses to the White House.
Follow me boys, we are going to learn how to walk in high heels, was a really great picture. Recruiting for the trannies must have went through the roof that day.
I do question Putin in this episode however. I expected him to play Biden and the EU for all they're worth holding the oil and gas cards. I think he screwed this up for Russia.
