(6,617 posts)4. Putin actually lied to all his soldiers.
I guess he can't tell the truth to anyone. trump really is a kindred spirit of his. Although thinking back, it seems republicans have always used lying propaganda for these things. I am still waiting for the Q party to start saying really stupid things like 'it's all fake news this isn't really happening in Ukraine, it's the nazi's" That is usually their first line of offense.
