Putin makes an appeal to Westerners.
That he can do this via the internet, and get traction because Western Governments have been so full of shit for so long, is an indictment on Western culture - specifically the Boomers to whom the entire narrative is shaped.
The West needs to send Boomers back to the mines to pay off the debts they racked up. They need to be disenfranchised and defunded entirely or nothing will change.
We have to eat the pain.
