Western propaganda

So the veteran who actually helped Covid-19 doctors in Russia gets no coverage, but some bimbo involved in the phony
"Doctor's Association" set up to spread propaganda about "problems" with Covid-19 in Russia by Navalny and his NATzO

The west is a pig sty of filthy pigs rolling in their own shit and eating it.

Vladimir Putin allegedly has a secret lovechild with cleaner now worth $100M

Russian President Vladimir Putin may be the father of a secret teenage lovechild with a cleaner who is now worth more than $100 million, according to a report.

An investigation by Russian media outlet Proekt has linked the notoriously secretive 68-year-old leader to Svetlana Krivonogikh, who now lives in an elite area of St. Petersburg reserved for Putin’s pals.

Her 17-year-old daughter, Elizaveta Krivonogikh, “bears a phenomenal resemblance to the Russian president,” the investigation, which has also been shared in The Moscow Times, said.

The outlet shared photos of the teen — which it did not publish because of her age — with a face-recognition expert who said there was a 70 percent similarity between Putin and the youngster.

“From this information, we can draw the conclusion that they may be related,” Professor Hassan Ugail, Director of the Center for Visual Computing at the University of Bradford in the UK, told Proekt.

Elizaveta Krivonogikh was born in 2003 — while Putin was still married to now-ex Lyudmila Shkrebneva.

Proekt said Elizaveta Krivonogikh’s birth documents do not list a father, and only list “Vladimirovna” as the name deriving from her father.

The teen has reportedly been living under an assumed name for years — and immediately deleted photos showing her face from her social media accounts when reporters started contacting her, the outlet said.

Her mother, now 45, had been a cleaner from a modest background before becoming a beneficiary of a company that owns a small share in the Putin-linked Rossiya Bank, as well as owning properties in numerous cities, according to the investigation.

She also owns a nightspot known for “erotic shows,” the report says, estimating her total assets as being at least $102 million.

Flight logs reportedly link her to flights also taken by Putin, and her current home in “the most elite housing that a St. Petersburg resident could wish for” is somewhere reserved for the president’s closest friends, the report said.

The alleged relationship likely ended “somewhere near the end of the last decade,” Proekt reported.

Numerous Putin sources refused to discuss the allegations with Proekt, and Svetlana Krivonogikh did not return Proekt’s messages despite an initial promise to talk, the outlet said.

But Putin’s spokesperson denied ever hearing about Krivonogikh when probed by local reporters.

The article headline is clickbait.  Otherwise, it's spot on.  There are a lot of problems that rand corporation was wanting to do and it came true. These are all things happening on Russia's borders.

Issue is, none of them went the way rand expected.  But it's simple in the way that they still pushed it and some of the results were what they wanted.

It doesn't spell disaster 100% for Russia but does make Russia end up being much like Iran - being encircled.

Only piece of the puzzle was Belarus. Belarus didn't fall yet.  But we don't know what will be results.

Ukraine is done. It's a Russian enemy.

Armenia and Azerbaijan will now be at Russia's throat for nearly everything in the caucuses but at least Russia still is in it's safe area.

Kyrgyzstan - this one is interesting. People say the protests were in favor of US but there isn't a single piece to support that. Actually, the guy who got out of prison and got temporary leadership is rather pro Russian.

Russia is starting to send money to Kyrkyzstan again.

So it's a more click vanity article than anything.

Russian Defence Minister Shoigu described the German Defense Minister as a spoiled schoolgirl for her remark: "We have to deal with Russia from a position of strength".

That was a silly remark on Shoigu's part but people here would cheerlead such a remark.

She is basically saying that HATO should increase military spending to build up their military forces so that when they have disarmament discussions with Russia they have something to bargain with.... ie give up to get Russia to give up stuff too...

Calling her a child... ie naive, is fairly mild I think....

Ursula Von Der Leyen has presented a plan to strengthen "democracy" in #EU by actually reducing free speech through large scale censorship of content that will be labeled as "disinformation" by Brussels' bureaucrats.
