Let's send some extra to Ukraine, so they can provide 'em a show!!!!
I think the Russians are a little nervous these daysLet's send some extra to Ukraine, so they can provide 'em a show!!!!
Of course I am no expert but the recent Putin I've seen in video clips seems to smile a lot and be friendlier.
About the author...
Yulia Latynina, a writer and journalist, worked for Echo of Moscow radio station and the Novaya Gazeta newspaper until they were shut down as part of the current war in Ukraine. She is a recipient of the U.S. State Department’s Defender of Freedom award.
I also don't think The Hill is a Russian propaganda outlet.
So...what was the "russian propaganda" in the article?
I've always wondered where they find these look alike. Russia is 135M population, not huge. Also, what are the terms of this job?
Have to fund American Republicans.I've always wondered where they find these look alike. Russia is 135M population, not huge. Also, what are the terms of this job?
Yeah-when they admit Putin is dead, do they put a bullet in look alike Putin's head?I've always wondered where they find these look alike. Russia is 135M population, not huge. Also, what are the terms of this job?
“the Russian dictator lives in an alternate reality in which he is fighting a world war against America — and winning.”I don’t have the time or inclination to point out every single one. Let’s just go with the most blatant Kremlin talking point.
“the Russian dictator lives in an alternate reality in which he is fighting a world war against America — and winning.”
How do you square that statement with the reality on the ground as reported by Russian soldiers?
Sending 18 year old boys with little to no training, no food, etc directly into battle. That doesn’t seem, I don’t know, a little desperate to you?
This is winning? Hunh??
“We were sent here (to the front line) empty handed. No food, no drink, no radios, no thermal cameras. We have nothing. We buy radios at our own expense.”
She's a neocon.But maybe if she published it under the pen name "Bell O'Really" with the title "Killing Putin", they would lap it up.
Wait … what?! If a country doesn’t agree with Davos-Man liberal democracy, it is “at war” with us, and must be treated as an enemy nation?! Even Hungary, a European nation and a democracy which, if it were a real autocracy, would not have to care about this weekend’s elections. If Orban is a shoo-in, nobody has told my Fidesz friends, who are on pins and needles. Is Hungary not a democracy because people here don’t vote in the way Anne Applebaum wishes they would?There is no natural liberal world order, and there are no rules without someone to enforce them. Unless democracies defend themselves together, the forces of autocracy will destroy them. I am using the word forces, in the plural, deliberately. Many American politicians would understandably prefer to focus on the long-term competition with China. But as long as Russia is ruled by Putin, then Russia is at war with us too. So are Belarus, North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, Nicaragua, Hungary, and potentially many others. We might not want to compete with them, or even care very much about them. But they care about us. They understand that the language of democracy, anti-corruption, and justice is dangerous to their form of autocratic power—and they know that that language originates in the democratic world, our world.
I bet the fake Putins are like, what, I die when he dies???Yeah-when they admit Putin is dead, do they put a bullet in look alike Putin's head?

Might have to visit Poland someday…![]()
What are the odds of these approval rates dropping, if the US stops supporting Ukraine?
Russians and Russia sympathizers love to hate Anne. That puts me squarely on team Anne.She's a neocon.
You don't have to guess what she calls for.
Moar war.
I have said it before, and I will say it again: I really like Anne Applebaum’s histories of the Soviet world. But man, her chronic neoconnery is awfully hard to take. Here she is in The Atlantic, talking about how if the world’s democracies don’t defend themselves, autocracy will destroy them all. Excerpts:

Poland is great to visit. I recommend Krakow and Wroclaw.Might have to visit Poland someday…
That is like a scene out of a Mission Impossible movie. Except of course Tom Cruise would out run it.
