Vladimir Putin has led Russia for more than 20 years. He has taken a prostrate Russia, raised it to its feet again, and restored its self respect. Putin’s Russia paid off its debts—imagine the US attempting that feat!—as well as paying off the debts of the former Soviet republics,
"... the countries that looted and pillaged Russia."
Good joke. It was Russia, under Stalin, who looted and pillaged other countries while keeping the gulags stuffed full for such projects as the White Sea Canal. There never was much to loot and pillage from Russia anyway but minerals. Meanwhile Russia looted and pillaged Ukraine in the early 1930's of all her grain, starving up to ten million people.
Are you a Russian mouthpiece? No problem if you're honest, but dishonesty won't cut it. Russian predations are too well and widely known. The criminal Communist system favored criminals over ordinary honest citizens, so that bully boys and psychotics such as Beria, Yezhov, Djerdjinski et al dominated the decent people. And that's a shame because Russians are naturally warm, friendly, and open people by nature.
Let me get this straight. He shot a missile that can go 7000 mph at a target 80 miles away? Well, we still don't know how well it works because it could only have been in the air a few seconds. The message it sent was "this is a perfect example of why I am losing the war."
Not comforting news! I have also read that Putin may have upwards of 20,000 tactical nukes. If one day he decides to take out several key American Cities, America’s days as a superpower would be over. Of course under Brandon that day will come soon enough whether we get nuked or not.
This is a modern day Cuban Missile Crisis. However, unlike back then, there are no serious, reasonably well balanced leaders in the White House trying to scale this back. The maniacs in DC will cheer lead us into a generalised war if they are not dealt with.

It might be that it works as described, and they are committing war crimes.
Both conditions can be true.
That's not giving a pass to Putin.
Thanks for this article.

Nothing but water carrying for Putin and his gang of thugs. Transparently stupid.

It also sends the signal missile defenses won’t work in the Ukraine. There was some noise in sending Czech S300 to Ukraine.
