NP - Russian Sanctions

[alice malice]

Well, forgive me if I misapplied your ideas or statement. I thought
your point was that Putin was the lesser of two devils (the greater
being the US-backed government--a dubious claim). Isn't this Putin's
propaganda?  You say the US gort this going with the expansion of
NATO. More propaganda from Putin.


And, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I never said that Putin
has won the hearts and minds of Germany, its major parties or major
newspapers. That's your misapplication of what I said. Apology
accepted in advance. I posted from the Guardian on the propaganda
impact of Putin's machine. It doesn't claim, and I never claimed that
Putin has won the support of major parties or major press in Germany.
