Yep, you basically summed up the trajectory of the villainous program Putin has instituted, and it is all because of the things he learned in KGB training, and that he believed in with all his soul. For him, these were destroyed by Gorbachev,‘a surrender of the old order. Human lives, there are in fact so many of them, are of no real consequence to a mind like Putin’s. For those of us living, really living, in the 21st-century, it is hard to appreciate the retarditaire Cold War mind of a man like V. Putin. For him, the present is the past, and it is the past that must continue to be present. Such a mind cannot adjust to the yearning of people to be free. Unfortunately, there are minds among his people that operate similarly. Though I don’t wish to overstate it, there is a part of me that feels sorry for the prisoner that Putin is. He is his own jailer, but the far greater tragedy is that he has sentenced his people to a future of loss and unhappiness. He has also bestowed terror on his neighbors and promises to continue being a bad actor. To put a positive spin on a dangerous and terribly sad state of affairs, I wish him a change of mind and I wish the Russian people a change of leadership.

Greg,

Although both of our fathers were Republicans, I don't think they would have been part of the Maga minions or in any manner supported Trump.

I have wondered this same obsession with needing a strong man to guide them that the. Maga minions show us. Were Freud alive and opining would he be observing weak willed men, abused by their fathers, craving tyrannical acceptance. It’s just sick that Americans behave this way.
