Of course he wants to be another czar/emporer.

He can't admit being wrong. After all, he was an "intelligence" office in the KGB. May not be a good leader or military commander.

But he may not give-a-shit since he may have a psychological malfunction, similar to his puppet in the US (tfg).

Which is certainly why those in Tbilisi turned out to protest Putin's war. I visited Soviet Georgia and the hate for Russia is strong there. There were numerous statues of Stalin, which puzzled me, so I asked. And I was told that Stalin was Georgian, not Russian, and he is still held in esteem "because he killed so many Russians."

And I loved his interview with Marie Yovanovich was really good!

I think he's one of the smartest journalists/news anchors on tv.

I really began to appreciate him when I happened to tune into a Town Hall he was hosting, and before it started he explained the complicated issues so simply and clearly - and he does much the same thing on his show.

and sort of untangles the previous propaganda people have heard without leaving the lies in place!
