Loading ...Dr Joe Mercola : Oliver Stone and Vladimir Putin
According to Stone, Putin has a generally good reputation in other countries for being a man who promotes the interests of his country, but not at the expense of others. Keeping the world in harmony, “this has always been in his picture,” Stone insists.
When asked if he thought power had a corrupting influence on Putin, Stone insists that Putin would never last if he were acting as a dictator. The Russian people would not keep him in a position of power — which he has kept, on and off, for about 20 years.
Russia is a functioning democracy, and the people’s displeasure would reveal itself in several different ways. The ballot box is only one avenue by which they exhibit their dissatisfaction. But, apparently, they think Putin’s doing a good job at protecting the country and looking out for its needs.
Personally I have no opinion. I don’t know what’s really going on behind the scenes, but one thing I know for sure, given the history of the U.S. meddling in countries around the world, costing untold millions of innocent lives and many trillions of our own treasure for nothing in return, our government is in no position to judge Putin and has been under the control of the military industrial complex, which pays them handsomely, for over half a century.
That makes us profoundly evil.
Yes this is the battle between good and evil.
And the USA (and its puppets in the West) are on the side of evil.
And people are finally waking up to this monster.
The fact that the USA is funding Nazi’s in Ukraine, says it all.
Well put, Marcusjames.
Agree MJ. The contrast is really striking, and once the tables turn, Americans should not be surprised at a global rebuke and a legacy that recalls what several generations of Germans experienced. All the more deserved, unfortunately, given the noble sounding claims American leadership boasted while perpetrating such deeds at the ground level. (Echoes of how certain political party in the USA tends to operate, too.)
