Cool stuff :)
Can I ask you a bit of an intrusive question?
How come at first the response was kinda intense? Like it seemed like I really triggered something there...
Honestly, it just seems less usual to run into an account thats like a day old and talking about Russia stuff without it being something less than above-board
Honestly wasn't looking for anything. Happened across this post and was flicking thru it and came across your comment. When it started sounding somewhat defensive of Putin, I looked up and it raised that impulse.
You're not obviously incorrect in the sense that Putin is playing with him like a cat and a mouse but I don't really consider having Kompromat and doing his typical "take the target down one peg" that funny, I think Putin is a mentally-sick (not necessarily different than many world leaders that represent a particular demographic that have had the OKness beaten or worse out of them that spread the same misery like a malicious AIDS sufferer) power-hungry man who created a hell-hole and wants to spread it similarly.
Why defend him?
What do you suggest is the motive behind this special millitary thing?
