As a youngster growing up in the 1960s, Putin was a typical Russian hooligan, living with his family in a communal apartment in what was then Leningrad. Several other families, including Putin’s, shared these living quarters, with no bath, often no hot water and a stinking toilet. To get to his apartment on the fifth floor, young Putin had to run up the flight of stairs, infested by hungry rats. Armed with a stick, Putin at first fended off the filthy creatures and ran away from them, before he eventually decided to observe their behavior.Putin spent hours studying these hordes of rats.

Next up... How NATO and the US gave Putin no other choice but war. NATO (US) wanted Ukraine to be a member of NATO so they could put missiles on the border. NATO wanted access to Ukraine's natural resources. NATO wanted Ukraine to be part of the Great Reset. NATO wanted to keep their biolabs running in secret while the US funded who knows what. Covid fear ran its course. (Where's Fauci)? The Military Complex needed to be fed. Putin warned NATO and NATO ignored the warnings. Biden pretty much told Putin he can have a "little bite" out of Ukraine the night of the great SOTU...

Putie, aside from your rat-infested upbringing, tell me why 100 million innocent russian citizens were murdered over the last 100 years. Is it just something in the russkie gene pool that propagates genocides of this nature? Or the russkie way just can't come to terms with the individual's desire to be free and successful?
Look Vlad, russia is nothing more than a giant gasoline and natural gas can. What has russia brought to the world for the benefit of humankind? Answer? Nothing. Not a dam thing other than a race of people who prefer to kill when challenged.

Putin is right about the intentions of the U.S. State Department/CIA. They, as are agents, can be as murderous as anyone else.

What a load. Putin was scared of rats that are cornered. Fast forward 40 years, and he's scared of Quadaffi & Saddam Hussein. Wow this writer knows him inside & out. What a load. CIA paid her $50k in bitcoin for this spacedream.

Cry me a river. Putin's upbringing is no different than the lives of everybody who wasn't a communist official living in Russia in the fifties and sixties. It's why your average Russian who still have relatives that lived in that era would never want to return to that lifestyle. Empty shelves in stores. Waiting in line for hours for basic items and hoping they didn't run out by the time you got there. Saving for years for a crappy car. Your home was a small apartment where everyone from grandparents to grandchildren lived with intermittent power outages. So, the idea that Putin grew up in poverty is BS. Most everybody during the 50's and 60's who lived in Russian cities grew up in what would be considered poverty by today's standards.

Reading the article, I got the feeling that it was written to induce an opinion.
In other words, propaganda.
What is really going on, I have no idea.
What is truth, what are lies? From 'flyover country' USA, who can tell?
I just hope that The HairSniffer's idiotic handlers don't blunder us into a major war.

Tyrants always create a wave of misery and leave sorrow and destruction in their wake.
