An interesting little article 08:54 - Feb 25 with 460 views | Guthrum | on Putin's mindset: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/25/putin-mind-words-russia-vi A lot of the language is similar to that of the German philosophers who inspired the Thule Society and, in turn, the nazis.

The first half of this sentence is also correct... "The contemporary “west”, in this vision, battles to contain Russia out of jealousy. Europe has collapsed into decadence, crushed by the weight of its humanism and political liberalism:" We are all led by fools, perhaps we should stop enabling them. |  |
