Even before Russia invaded Ukraine, The New York Times<\/em> strongly hinted Putin had lost it. Anton Troianovski on 2\/18\/22, \u201cThe 20-foot-long table that Mr. Putin has used to socially distance himself this month from European leaders flying in for crisis talks symbolizes, to some longtime observers, his detachment from the rest of the world. For almost two years, Mr. Putin has ensconced himself in a virus-free cocoon unlike that of any Western leader, with state television showing him holding most key meetings by teleconference alone in a room and keeping even his own ministers at a distance on the rare occasions that he summons them in person.\u201d Though social distancing was an indication of health and good sense in the West, it was a sign of madness in Putin.<\/p>\n

As Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine on 3\/22\/22, Douglas Murray concluded in The Sun<\/em> that Putin was \u201cinsane and dangerous,\u201d with the weak West enabling his deranged behavior.<\/p>\n

On 2\/27\/22, Condoleezza Rice deemed Putin \u201cerratic,\u201d with \u201can ever-deepening, delusional rendering of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting deep, Father Cyril Hovorun explained in Premier Christianity<\/em> on 2\/29\/22, \u201cIt\u2019s irrational: [Putin] destroys his own country for the sake of retaking Ukraine, which is looking increasingly unlikely [\u2026] He is driven by a sort of metaphysics. I would not call it religion, although there is a component of traditional Christianity in it. It\u2019s really a sort of metaphysical outlook, which I believe to be dangerous [\u2026] Just like Dietrich Bonhoeffer talked of cheap grace, I would say Putin has adopted cheap spirituality [\u2026] It\u2019s a mix of post-Soviet metaphysics, superstition and, I would call it, a dualistic worldview. There is a part of the world which is good, and he believes this is Russia, and then there is a part of the world which is bad, and he believes this is the West.\u201d<\/p>\n

On 3\/1\/22, Fox News summarized, \u201cRussian leader is not crazy, he\u2019s consistent. Since taking power 22 years ago, Putin has specialized in killing.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are many more declarations of Putin\u2019s madness in the West. It is remarkable, this unhinged chorus, for Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine can\u2019t be more logical, or conducted more sanely.<\/p>\n

Russia has to 1) put an end to Ukraine\u2019s unending attacks on Russians in the Donbas 2) preempt an invasion of the Donbas, as evidenced by a huge buildup of Ukrainian troops in the region 3) prevent Ukraine\u2019s entry into NATO, which would put nuclear warheads within six minutes of Moscow 4) investigate and neutralize around 30 illegal chemical labs, apparently aimed at Russia.<\/p>\n

If anything, Putin should have acted sooner. In any case, he\u2019s much saner than any Western leader. With Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau and Olaf Scholz, etc., the West is fronted by a gallery of buffoons, as led by the appallingly corrupt and idiotic Biden.<\/p>\n

After 13 US soldiers were killed during the farcically chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden cartoonishly intoned with much gravity, \u201cWe will not forgive, we will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.\u201d Thoughtful Putin never talks like that. It\u2019s embarrassing, but cliches, slogans, slurs and lies now make up much of American English.<\/p>\n

Biden then sent drones to massacre ten members of one Afghan family, a war crime barely noticed by Americans and already forgotten. To punish that starving country further, grifting, fogged up and fondling Joe then stole $3.5 billion of its frozen assets to compensate victims of 9\/11, a tragedy Afghanistan had nothing to do with, and neither did Bin Laden, in case you haven\u2019t figured it out.<\/p>\n

The dumbing down of the West has been a decades-long process. Though we\u2019re well into Idiocracy territory, there are still some brain cells left to concuss or wring dry, just for the fun of it. During World War II, English speaking soldiers read Henry James and Anthony Trollop, I kid you not. Paul Fussel, \u201cSiegfried Sassoon favored James\u2019s middle-period works because they were \u2018so all beautifully remote\u2019 from Hitlerism and its brutal behavior,\u2019 and Trollope\u2019s novels were widely read because, in addition to their distance from the current violence and stupidity, they were handily available in the World\u2019s Classics pocket-sized editions, fit to be slipped into uniform pockets and gas-mask containers, like the equally popular unbellicose works of Dickens and Jane Austen. But Austen was valuable regardless of format.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even if Russians have gone through an intellectual decline, they can\u2019t be as dumb as Americans, for Putin doesn\u2019t address them as morons. From a speech on 2\/24\/22, here\u2019s Putin explaining NATO\u2019s aggression and insolence over three decades:<\/p>\n

It is a fact that over the past 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe. In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail, while the North Atlantic alliance continued to expand despite our protests and concerns. Its military machine is moving and, as I said, is approaching our very border.<\/p>\n

Why is this happening? Where did this insolent manner of talking down from the height of their exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from? What is the explanation for this contemptuous and disdainful attitude to our interests and absolutely legitimate demands?<\/p>\n

Instead of working a crowd with catch phrases, slogans and vacuous quips, Putin succinctly and patiently clarifies. After recounting America\u2019s illegal attacks on Iraq, Libya and Syria, Putin summarizes Uncle Sam\u2019s modus operandi and its implication for Russia:<\/p>\n

Overall, it appears that nearly everywhere, in many regions of the world where the United States brought its\u00a0\u2018law and order,\u2019 this created bloody, non-healing wounds and the curse of international terrorism and extremism. I have only mentioned the most glaring but far from only examples of disregard for international law.<\/p>\n

This array includes promises not to expand NATO eastwards even by an inch. To reiterate: they have deceived us, or, to put it simply, they have played us. Sure, one often hears that politics is a dirty business. It could be, but it shouldn\u2019t be as dirty as it is now, not to such an extent. This type of con-artist behavior is contrary not only to the principles of international relations but also and above all to the generally accepted norms of morality and ethics. Where is justice and truth here? Just lies and hypocrisy all around.<\/p>\n

[\u2026]<\/p>\n

Incidentally, US politicians, political scientists and journalists write and say that a veritable \u201cempire of lies\u201d has been created inside the United States in recent years. It is hard to disagree with this\u2014it is really so. But one should not be modest about it: the United States is still a great country and a system-forming power. All its satellites not only humbly and obediently say yes to and parrot it at the slightest pretext but also imitate its behavior and enthusiastically accept the rules it is offering them. Therefore, one can say with good reason and confidence that the whole so-called Western bloc formed by the United States in its own image and likeness is, in its entirety, the very same \u201cempire of lies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deranged, the West declares the sanest leader alive a madman, and cheerleads a corrupt clown in Zelensky who pretended to play the piano with his dick on television, whose citizens are punished by being taped to utility poles with their pants pulled down, whose soldiers film each other shooting handcuffed Russian POWs in the legs and even groins, with one screaming victim stabbed in the neck then eye.<\/p>\n

If the West still had an independent and varied media, news outlets would not ignore or gloss over such sensational war crimes, as the New York Post<\/em> did on 3\/28\/22:<\/p>\n

Senior presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said the government is taking the videos very seriously.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ukrainian military commander Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi accused Russia of \u201cstaging\u201d the videos and warned the public to only trust \u201cofficial sources.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to discredit the Ukrainian defense forces, the enemy is filming and distributing staging videos with inhumane attitude of \u2018Ukrainian military\u2019 to \u2018Russian prisoners,’\u201d Zaluzhnyi said in a statement.<\/p>\n

In the New York Post<\/em>, much more space is given to Zelensky\u2019s pronouncements, such as this on 4\/3\/22, \u201cWe are the citizens of Ukraine. We have more than a hundred nationalities. This is about destruction and extermination of all these nationalities. We don\u2019t want to be subdued to the policy of the Russian Federation. This is the reason we are being destroyed and exterminated. And this is happening in the Europe of the 21st century. So this is the torture of the whole nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Russia is exterminating \u201call these nationalities,\u201d then it\u2019s a Holocaust, isn\u2019t it, but we can\u2019t use that word, for it\u2019s reserved for Jews. Zelensky, though, sure knows how to evoke that mythical genocide to confirm, once again, that Putin is a Hitler.<\/p>\n

Even if Russian troops did massacre civilians in Bucha, it\u2019s obviously not Putin\u2019s intention, for if he wanted to exterminate Ukrainians, then Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa and Lviv, etc., would have been razed already. Instead, there\u2019s still electricity, water and Wifi in all those cities. To allow civilians to escape the war, Putin never destroyed Ukraine\u2019s rail system. Instead, it\u2019s Zelensky\u2019s troops who hold them hostage as human shields. What the US and UK did to Germans and Japanese at the end of WWII was far, far worse, but even that didn\u2019t qualify as extermination, and how many massacres of civilians did the US commit in Vietnam?<\/p>\n

Uniformity of opinions has become the law of the land in the Jewjerked empire of lies, so Jewish Zelensky is preposterously declared a new Churchill, and his propaganda, no matter how crude, is embraced. In one video, a sunglasses wearing Ukrainian beauty with perfect skin and makeup coolly walks from a supposed battle, amid wrecked tanks, with smoke and flames in the background. Nonchalantly, she flashes a victory sign. An assault rifle is slung over her shoulder, and, get this, she sports a Palestinian keffiyeh!<\/p>\n

This cool leftist fashion statement deflects from the fact the Ukraine fiasco is a Jewish Fascist operation. Jews orchestrated this war, and now that it\u2019s started, want it to last, if not spread. Jews hate Slavs as much as they hate Arabs, so a smoldering Syria in Europe is overflowing champagne to them. Again, you always know what the Jewish agenda is by what the Jewjacked media is pushing.<\/p>\n
