Oh, people heard him, but they knew it was all lies. There were not enough genuine Nazis in Ukraine to fill a school bus in 2014, for one thing. Moscow's objective has always been total control of the Black Sea, and eventually control of the exit to the Mediterranean, which requires annexation of Romania and Bulgaria. Ukraine has the misfortune of being in the way. Turkey is to be destabilized by "geopolitical shocks", per the Eurasia Party Plan, NATO notwithstanding. Greece and the entire Adriatic littoral to be snapped up along the way. Not making anything up; it's all in Aleksandr Dugin's books. You know, the man popularly called "Putin's Brain"?

You are a clown
Putin has been eliminating plenty of the western Uke Bandera disciples, whose fathers and grandfathers formed their own SS unit and fought for Hitler
Putin is elminating the haters of all stripes and we are moving towards a more peaceful world
