What's the mailing address for the Vatican? I need to send this idiot something he's obviously never seen in his life: a Bible.
I am not a fan of Putin, even tho he seems to care more about his people than many leaders, and is actually quite up front on his intentions.. but with all the fraud and nonsense that Ukraine has been for decades, i hope he prevails. Be nice to have a "honest" socialist in charge, and not the money sucking crime mob they have had.

I think Putin cares more for abstract nationalist notions - such as recovering the glory of the URSS - than for the general wellbeing of the Russian subjects. That still places him above most European leaders.
He reminds me of other dictators the world has suffered that I file under the category "They were dictators, but were bearable dictators to normal people". Namely, some specific dictator I am thinking about tried very hard not to piss normal people off. You were free to do most of your regular day activities without paperwork and licenses and you were recognized a series of rights on religious grounds. What you didn't have was political freedom, in that you had no right to complain or promote exotic religions. IN practical terms, you were more free under the rule of The Party than under the rule of a modern democracy as long as you didn't critizise the Leader or stepped visibly out of the line.
I didnt mean to say hes a great guy, just seems like a better leader than most of the 'western world' has now. Which is sad.
Now that the Poop has gotten involved, I'm even more on Russia's side.
I realize he's biased too, but saw a recent story from the Tucker guy on the scumbag Zelenskyy and some of the stuff he has done, and is doing. Like banning christian religion.. by force.
As everyone knows i think religion is dumb, but banning it, is wrong.
The more i see about Ukraine, the more pissed i become and the more i wish Putin had just nuked the place. ( at least their leadership, the average citizen, not their fault )
I need to read more about the mess that was Ukraine before the war. Anybody got a good source?
I went full Godwin today on i2p-chat and I'm totally proud of it.
There's an idiot Gates-worshipper over there who thinks that Gates wrote "the most popular operating system on the planet"
After debunking that claim (Linux outnumbers Windows by millions if you include Android) ... I pointed out that Windows is only "popular" in the same sense that getting murdered by the nazis was "popular" among jews during the war.
BAZINGA!
And he didnt write crap. He is ( was ) a poor coder and had to steal his products.

As a Linux user of some 30 years standing, I'm not the biggest Gates fan, but one thing he did do was to challenge the Wozniac and Jobs attempt to lock WIMP computer systems to Apple.
