Did the mainstream media tell you that ? And who owns that media ? You only get context from history and cross reference and you won't find either in the MSM. Find out who raped Russia in the 90s to the point that its citizens life expectancy dropped by 20 years and it was the fastest falling GDP in the world.

Look up Menetep bank and the rigging of auctions for the main russian resource companies to 7 oligarchs circa 1990. 7 oligarchs ! Who funded this ? Hint : the money came from London. I could go on. Putin rescued Russia and the Russian people know this and the west hates Putin for this to this day.

BTW this history is being scrubbed from the internet by AI. Like all inconvenient history is being scrubbed.
