Once again you are assuming. I did in fact see that but it too does not tell how the statue came to be resurrected. The only mention of Putin was that he once worked in the KGB.

It was originally put to an online vote, and it wasn't going well for Felix to be resurrected, as the 13th century Prince Alexander Nevsky had a 10 point advantage. Was that why the Moscow Mayor pulled it before it was scheduled to conclude?

If you notice, Putin wasn't even at the unveiling. Kind of strange if as you claim Putin played an integral part of the resurrection, don't you think?

Never mind, what am I thinking, you let others think for you.

Excuses, excuses. You ought to be working for the Biden public relations office.

They even turned it to face the little, innocuous Baltic states.

“SVR Director Sergei Naryshkin said at the ceremony for the statue’s unveiling that Dzerzhinsky’s face on the original and new statues is turned toward Poland and Baltic states ‘because the threat to Russia from the northwest remains.’”

One of the problems is, that those scheming to execute this proxy war, are in fact paper tigers. Which is why they chose to fund a proxy war with Russia using Ukraine as the battlefield, and Ukrainian males as the warriors. They also though t that would sell better than getting us involved militarily with out boots on the ground. After the Afghanistan debacle I doubt Europe had any motivation to follow the US into yet another tar-baby war again, but they would accept the proxy war bid.

All of these combined reasons were why I was against this from the beginning and was adamant about finding a peaceful solution that pretty much kept the status quo as it stood at that time. Now, that we have hindsight to examine, those of us who were against this are being proven right.

It was fantasy thinking to believe that Ukraine could successfully defeat Russia next door, that had more human resources available to them, by a large margin, over Ukraine's available military fighting manpower. Russia also had the military equipment to wage war, Ukraine didn't, along with Russia having the all important logistical advantage.

Biden's folly, pure & simple. Those politicians that supported it should have their names footnoted as well.

Again, that doesn't explain how it was determined to be resurrected, and whose decision it really was, unless you are saying that SVR Director Sergei Naryshkin is the one responsible. So does that mean, if you are making that person the responsible person, that you concede Putin may have played no role?

“SVR Director Sergei Naryshkin said at the ceremony for the statue’s unveiling that Dzerzhinsky’s face on the original and new statues is turned toward Poland and Baltic states ‘because the threat to Russia from the northwest remains.’”

So, are you implying that Russia should not fear what is clearly playing out as being the reality? The only way to quell that fear is to stop the aggression.

If they refuse to stop their aggression at that point, then I guess it will be time to go to full on war. Though I still believe that would just be furthering the mistake.

It was still unnecessary had we done some actual diplomacy to begin with, instead of egging on the proxy war. That proxy war was game planned by the Rand Corporation, and they actually advised against it as being too risky ad fraught with disadvantages. It would only work if Russia's economy was really as imperiled as we believed it to be.

That is the point all of us have been trying to make clear to you all, but none of you will listen. Instead you prefer to slop at the troughs of propaganda, instead of listening to logic & reason.

The clowns in control pf this government are evil people whose only consideration is acquiring more power & more wealth, and they would kill their own parents to be successful. They believe themselves to be invincible, mainly because they were able to successfully steal the 2020 election. But in reality they are just overly confident.

You really do need to wake up Chad.

Oh, I'm awake, Robert. Awake enough to recognize all the Muskovite talking points you so lavishly embellish, like a Russian novel in length. But I'm also sick and tired of fisking you, so unless I change my mind, from here on out it's just going to be ridicule.

Too bad about you Chad, for you are fast asleep worrying about Russia/Putin when the real danger to you & your loved ones is right here at home with the diaper wearing Biden and his administration at the levers of power.

Yeah, you are only good for being a useful idiot, so I too am tired of fisking you also, what ever the heck that might be.

But I can tell when someone is so convinced that they know it all, that they refuse to listen to what is really happening. You will learn at some point in time.

In the meantime, you had better pray that those actually fighting for this country come out on top, otherwise, you will not like what you are heading for if we are unsuccessful.

Then, and only then apparently, will you accept that I have been trying to wake you up, and you refused. You zeepers are all of like mind, and completely mindless when it comes to seeing where they real threat exists for this nation.

Bye bye.
