A new scandalous film featuring Vladimir Putin just came out in the U.S., showing a controversial image of the war criminal. We spoke to someone who met him after Putin’s first defeat in Ukraine.
Humanizing Putin has many purposes. A key one can be, if the opportunity is taken, to portray him as just a scared, tired, angry old man clinging to power. It allows portraying him as not being an omnipotent enemy but just another fragile human being who can suffer in a drone strike like every other human being. The power of a totalitarian, as we see being attempted in the USA, is rooted in the cult of personality. This would help rally support domestically in Ukraine while also helping split Putin’s support base even slightly in Russia. If Putin is just an old man who could be toppled, who might be inspired to collaborate even if they can’t strike directly at their own government?
Excellent article revealing insights into Putin's madness and hatred of Ukraine and their fight for freedom! THANK YOU!
It's so wild to hear Putin using the "Soros funds the protesters" line that US right-wing conspiracy theorists use!

As to the mention of Canada at the top, I leave this link to Corner Gas as a bit of bait to explore further and perhaps talk to Brent Butt: https://www.cornergas.com/watch/sitcom/sitcom-season-3-3/
