Putin fascist? Gunna disagree with that though NPR, MSNBC and the rest of the usual suspects have been framing him this way since 2016. Last I looked, we’ve killed well over a million people since the 90’s, including the literal shortening of the average Russian lifespan.

No, liberal hegemony had quite the butchers bill and, due to its contradictions,

I expect backing fascist, as we did in the maidan revolution (so much different in its composition than the earlier Orange Revolution) will be a loser.

S’funny how we always back the fascist abroad but believe ourselves somehow not, well, fascist…
