I'm not down on Putin like you. If Putin was leading the US we'd be in much better shape. You have to keep in mind the the US legacy media always demonizes Putin in the same way they do Trump. Your article does point out that Putin is popular in Russia in the same way that Trump has very ardent followers in the US.
Seems like it to me. His ideas are completely wacko. The article was posted by RT. Is it simply propaganda or did this US general actually say what RT is reporting?
I could be uniformed, but I'm unaware of Putin's thugism. Can you provide specific examples? I admit to following RT and hearing some of Putin's speeches, and I'm impressed. I can't say the same for Biden at all. As for being a thug, more in that direction seems to point toward Biden. I honestly don't know the details of the Russian Constitution and their legal system in general. RT seems to be an excellent source of news. Of course many people believe it to be propagandistic. I haven't found it to be that way. As an American I feel like I'm living in the former Soviet Union now. I don't believe our elections are above board and I believe there have been endless psyops in recent years. I did hear of one reporter being arrested in Russia for being anti-Russian in his reporting.
In the US, we seem to have questionable court proceedings. The incarceration of the the Jan 6th protestors comes to mind along with other people related to Trump. Most recently Roger Stone, General Flynn, Peter Navaro, Steve Bannon, James Fetzer and many small fry.
I can't even get my teeth cleaned by a hygenist in Denver, Colorado because I declined routine dental x-rays. That didn't happen to me in Hawaii. I filled a complaint with the Colorado Dental board, which ruled against me with no right of appeal. My only claim was that I was denied service because I declined x-rays. My statement was fact. I don't know how the board could rule against fact. There was no proper explanation included with their ruling. That seems rather thugish to me. By the way, I'm not having problems with my teeth, and haven't had any for almost 80 years. I would agree to x-rays if I was having or some specific issue that was actually bothering me that required actual dental work, not just scraping plaque.
Billions of dollars on a bridge to nowhere. Even if Ukraine wins this war the population will be worse off than before, because they will be under American control.
You forgot to mention that Ukraine had been murdering, raping, torturing and disappearing, other Ukrainians, since the US arranged coup in 2014.
That the very real Nazi elements in the Ukrainian government and military, have been fully supported by the US and UK governments.
The Kiev junta has been bombing civilians in the Donbas since then and have murdered something like 14,000 people.
Again with the full support of their Western allies.
The most important part though, is that Ukraine had very recently amassed between 60 and 100,000 troops around the Donbas, to rid themselves of their Russian speaking untermensch, once and for all.
THAT, I suspect was the imminent threat of genocide that Russias invasion was intended to stop.
I meant the first quote. The illusion is the denial. It’s like telling your kids not to do something, they point out that you do the same thing, then you deny that you do. Hope I haven’t complicated things. When it comes right down to it, we are all reflection of others, but in different forms. It’s the Law of Reflection.
So Biden is under the illusion that Trump’s a fascist, but he (Biden) isn’t.
I understand the term "projection" to used as you describe. Randy Rhodes used the term all the time to describe what Republicons did to Democrats. This was back in the days of the Shrub/Cheney Pretendency. She's still doing it today. I have no respect for people who haven't walked away from the Democrat Party.
I don't know about China. We are all beholden to their production of consumer goods. I've always liked the Chinese. They melt into other societies very well, and are quite productive. I'm amazed at how good Chinese food tastes and how quickly the kitchen can prepare it. Demonizing China may be similar to demonizing Russia. Again for myself, my encounters with Chinese people have always been very positive. This is in Hawaii, Tahiti, and Denver. There is a Chinese lady who plays tennis with us in Denver. She looks remarkably like Yuja Wang, but it probably around twice Yuja's age. The gal in Denver is teaching my some Chinese. It's not easy for English speakers, but their number system makes a lot of sense. Again my Chinese friends have always been most helpful and respectful. I have no complaints when it comes to them as a group.
We have Chinese friends here. It's nothing to do with the Chinese, it's the regime. The Dems have much more affinity to the Communists than they do to America.

Good article. I’ve attached the above, which I thought were good.
I have also read that Putin is taking down the US Biolabs and rescuing children that are being trafficked.
I think there is a lot happening behind the scenes that we don’t know about yet, but all truth will be revealed.
It appears that there is corruption everywhere.
I’m praying for the USA and the world.
Absolutely, we don’t know half of what is going on, only what the talking heads want us to know. Thanks for the link.
Thank you for all of your substacks.
I really appreciate them.

I’m not down on Putin anymore than Biden. Both are thugs in their own way, though I believe Putin loves his country more so than Biden loves America.
Is this former US General a thug?

I don't know about the validity of this article, but it relates to your topic:

re “Projection is the illusion that others are doing what you aren’t doing.”, do you actually mean
“Projection is the illusion that others are doing what you are doing”? if not let me know I will delete comment.

So Biden is under the illusion that Trump’s a fascist, but he (Biden) isn’t.
I think though that C T P (!) is typically the latter, as I understood
it, so you are switching it up a bit, which is your right....but as i take it to mean,
Confession through projection=
Accuse your enemy of doing what you’re doing so as to create confusion.
=Repeat a lie often enough and eventually people will believe it.
I understand the term "projection" to used as you describe. Randy Rhodes used the term all the time to describe what Republicons did to Democrats.

Especially the Dem Party of today. It belongs in China.

Vladimir Putin believes that women should be women, lady like and men should be men, masculine.
