Evil is evil regardless of who is involved.
We citizens of shithole countries are just pawns for the global bullies. Oliver Stone has a history of accurate documentaries and movies.

Stone has zero credibility left. His pro-Putin films and statements deserve no more respect than Trump's brown-nosing talk about Putin..
Especially now that Putin has shown the entire world just how much of a dangerous sociopathic monster he is.
