Some talkers who admire this warlord think he’s invincible. Soon the meat they like roasting in smoke-filled River Road butcheries to celebrate death will taste like bile in the mouth.
The man has a sharp, steely grey gaze, talks tough, and looks determined. I don’t know how long he’ll take the constant buffetting from state machinery though.
Putin poisoned him , but as soon as he recovered , he went straight back to Russia to be Arrested and Jailed under false charges of stealing from his own NGO (??).
Don’t worry, I used to be a useful idiot too. 14 years ago. A young black man. So proud of Barrack Obama. I thought wow. America. Defenders of all that is good and just in the world. So I took a keen interest in American politics. And I dived right into the deep end. And I realised geo-politics. And the more I read, the more I realised what stinking pigs that mob was.
I discovered they wanted to kill Gaddafi. When I read about it, I discovered the real reasons they killed Saddam. And with time I knew Syria is next. The mess they have caused in Africa, in Latin America in the Middle East. All for what? To maintain their hegemony?
I will be alive to see their collapse.
And if you knew anything about Russia, you’d know Putin is going nowhere. The only demographic he doesn’t have a full grip on are the young people in Moscow. And it’s not that they hate him, they are apolitical or ambivalent. The voting population, the babushkas and the Rural middle-aged, the old and the Rural young love this man with their lives.
I have studied Russian History to date and can confirm to you that 240 years ago while Democracy was incubating and being ushered in the USA , Russia was in turmoil …
A very bad Imperial Aristocracy was violently replaced by an even worse Tyranny which force fed and imposed Communism on the masses…
During the White Terror of Joseph Stalin and his KGB / NKVD / GRU Secret Police an estimated 22 Million Soviet Citizens were killed and millions more enslaved or transplanted all over the republic .
( … in fact , Joseph Stalin killed more Russians than Adolf Hitler in the entire WW2 … ).
Subsequent so-called Russian leaders slowly bastardized the “Communist” ideal to the point where ( … especially under Putin …) it has been replaced by tyranny and an autocracy of Oligarchs , Cronies , a subservient Duma , fully State controlled Media , intolerance to alternative Political expression … and all under the watchful eye of the KGB …
All permitted political activities are a sham that just rubber stamp Putin’s whims and wishes …
Tyrants always have a grip on the populations that they lord over …
Adolf Hitler
Fidel Castro
Pol Pot
Muammar Gaddafi
Saddam Hussein
Kim Jong-Un
Xi Jinping
If the didn’t , they would not last very long …
What tyrants ( … and individuals who do not study History… ) fail to understand is that all men are born with free spirits and a yearning for freedom , self actualization and expression …
And they don’t thrive well under any regime that treats them otherwise …
PROOF :
There is not 1 single successful example of a model Communist State on the entire planet …
What goes on in Russia and China is not Communism - it is Autocracy and Cronyism.
In Conclusion :
Communism in Russia started dying under Joseph Stalin in the 40s-50s and imploded by itself in the 80s …
The various former USSR Republics set out on their own Sovereign Independent paths and several joined the EU and NATO …
Then came Vladimir Putin , his Oligarchs and supporting cast …
My Prediction :
Even if Putin withdraws today , the issues of Donbass , Crimea and Total Economic Sanctions remain …
It will not be business as usual …
Putin has now indicated that he will now create a “Land Bridge” thru half of Ukraine to connect with Moldova and Bulgaria , his next targets …
He will have to conscript thousands of unwilling young Russians to go and die for him in useless , unpopular , unsustainable Wars …
Before that happens , he will be out of a job … :D:D:D
