I know you are 100% correct about Putin’s efforts to use subversive tactics to divide us. He and his minions far outclass the US at these kinds of manipulations.
Putin is certainly not clean in everything, I agree with them, but it is always (too)easy to blame the Russians.
First of all, the damn Chinese released the virus, you should be angry at them, the Chinese boss is also a villain and even if he smiles most of the time, he is very high up in the statistics in terms of crimes against humanity.
In addition, Grandpa Jo splits with his henchmen just like that and is not a cent better than the two you to coerce and oppress.
As for Putin, he has in my part of Europe as good as no influence, here make our governments Knallharte restrictions because of Corona and NOT Putin.
Our governments here watch police beating women and children in the streets and let it happen, just like they exclude a part of the population from public life because they don't get vaccinated.
Corona is NOT so dangerous that this indirect vaccination compulsion is justified, in ANY way. I would disagree with Ebola, but not with Corona.
A government is also only credible if you have a dialogue with the people and also answered times questions from the people, but that makes the government here at no price, if you ask critical questions is the next day the police in front of the door.
I am not a friend of Putin in everything, but remember one thing, in Russia the people currently have more rights than in Europe and you can even live more freely, in some European countries is no longer the case. For this reason, no one has to tell me that Putin is the worst president on earth.
