Or does he make too much sense?
German navy chief resigns after controversial comments favorable to Putin
Fox News ^ | 1-22-22 | Andrew Mark MillerThe head of the German Navy is stepping down over controversial comments favorable to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
… "What he (Putin) really wants is respect," Schoenbach said. "And my God, giving someone respect is low cost, even no cost... It is easy to give him the respect he really demands - and probably also deserves."
Schoenbach added that he believes Ukraine joining NATO is not a "smart" idea., according to Reuters.
And, by the way, were these comments actually “favorable to Putin”—all of such comments being strictly Verboten, impeachable offense, cast into the out darkness crimes—or was this guy simply urging a renewed acquaintance with the real world on the part of the US?
Putin is a Russian nationalist, how is that a bad thing? One would think that a nation's leader would always be a nationalist, for his own country, not some other country, folks just "can't handle the truth", apparently.
Why do we insist on harassing Putin? Couldn’t China use our logic with Ukraine to plant a missive defense system and military base on the Rio Grande in Mexico? Why not treat Ukraine like Finland, especially considering Ukraine is even more culturally linked to Russia than Finland? All of these corrupt war mongers need to leave DC!!!!!
