Under Putin, A Fantasy Inside a Delusion Wrapped in a Tissue of Lies

He tells Russians not of their potential to join the world, but that they are victims and have enemies. In reality, Russia is more prosperous today than during the Soviet era, and its citizens benefit more from international involvement.

and Russia is angelic compared to the vicious west. We murdered more people since 1945 then hitler, whom WE quietly replaced (Adolph wasn't a gentleman)...FDR was murdered, as was pope JP 1st- because they wasn't fascist enough.
Russia lost 25 million people, and 1/3rd of it economy, in the fascist attack in 1940.
Call me a cynic. about all the crap they put in the news. The Malaysian jet disappeared for one reason only: to stimulate the tv ratings of the newsmedia. And it was our guys who terrorized the Ukrainian gov until the elected leader was forced to flee (shades of Afghanistan in Carter era)
Beside, who cares. 100 million tonnes carbon are injected into earth's atmosphere every 24 hours. 25 billion tonnes every year. And the pig is planning to triple that next decade.
Enjoy
