I don't know if Putin is a good person or bad. what I do know is that propaganda is a verry effective tool and when done right the person who is targeted has no idea that their opinion is inaccurate....I and most of us on here are so far down on the political food chain we have no idea how much of what we belive is propaganda. my personnel belief is that Putin is a world leader trying to do right by his country. I refuse the belief that he is a comic book Vilan best compared to Hitler. this does not mean he is incapable of some vile and evil acts. he was KGB before he took over. what he thinks as good thing to do for his country runs counter to USA concerns and is a partial reason for the conflict.... My belief is that biological weapons with a targeted genetic code is the main reason for what's happening in the Ukraine. but I reserve the right to be wrong in my assessment.
