To be honest, I'm more exposed to Russian propaganda and "resistance" literature than any other type of literary garbage, certainly what is considered "western kind".
That is the problem at the core of the dimwitts and drones here. Simple sheeple can't comprehend any other thing.
You can't have a disproving opinion of Kremlin leadership, political culture and decision making without being an automatic "western sympathizer" or "NATO bootlick"....
It's the tribal nature of the dimwitt to forcefully box the opposing views into that simple to understand narrow view otherwise their head would explode from the conditioning of the propaganda the other side feeds daily. It's amazing to watch. More so how highly of themselves they belief to be (projecting to others their adopted opinions which are mostly talking points propaganda borrowed from thought leaders). Special little things. Cognitive dissonance at its finest, and worst.
The bubble bursts every so often and you can feel the pain with every keystroke. As you hear in Putin's voice when he gets fucked over every now and then and mansplains things to his sheeple base.
That is an easy oversimplification
Sure you can be disproving, but we don't have a luxury with our back against the wall
Russia has been on the back foot for a while...
It's not a surprise that 30 years ago we were in deep shit
Even as recently as 2018 Deripaska and Prokhorov were still relevant.. despite the best attempts to neuter those goons , they still had a say and their friends in London and NYC and Miami did also
Russia was selling for Euros and Dollars , Putin was looking for the best deals to strike, holding a bad hand
I think you are not giving enough credit to what was done and what he pulled out of the hat with his wittiness and actions
From Chechnya, Georgia, Maidan, Sanctions, Ukraine, Syria
It has not been an easy road, and yet Russia prevailed
So keep your criticism but don't come here to shit on the leadership that has kept us alive and in a good position (based on what a fucked situation we've been in)
Since 1990
We had a knife to the throat, and we can't switch the coaching team and staff to experiment right now
Russia will have a proactive policy
But these 30 years were an evolving process and one that maybe could have gone different, but given where we are today, I am not complaining, or even wishing to turn back the clock
Because if it had gone worse, we would have been in different countries, getting raped by Clinton gang and big capital in US
So it's a miracle we are even here
And I attribute it to a bit of luck and God's hand, and Putin as well
Because honestly we were down and out, but our national bird is a Phoenix
And to see this shit Is nothing short of rebirth from ashes
If you want to discuss more PM me, but unless you are going to make constructive and valid posts then don't provoke
Because you are looking at all this in a skewed way
