Saying Putin was hiding from Covid when you were probably one of the biggest and strongest advocates on here to do the same, not to mentionhow terribly wrong you have been in that entire debate, however hindsight is 20/20 au contraire. I never advocated what you infer. Please stop making things up to start an argument. Mods have asked to have that issue closed

2 things can be true at the same time, Putin can be a terrible dictator who rules in tyranny and at the same time Zelensky can be incredibly corrupt and manipulative. Funny how scared Putin is of Zelensky to push these narratives so hard and with such fervent drive that he does sucker some in. The reality of Zelensky is that he was a Russian speaking entertainer who was an actor. Corruption in Ukraine ticked off many. He played the president and on a lark people said his pretend president skills are better that our real presidents skills. So people pushed for him to run. He never thought he’d win but rather would be good fun. Then he won. Now he has no clue… no deep state political backing… fish out of water. So he starts trying to do his best in an old Soviet system. Then the war comes and rather that flee he faces potential death head on. In the trenches. On the streets in cities being bombed. He shows true courage some of you can’t recognize and courage that Putin can never understand as Putin assassinates with poison or simply disappears his rivals. Putin’s doesn’t go to the front lines. But he does run scared from Covid.

I don't always see this as good vs evil, however I feel sorrow for the individuals caught in this game that is being played by others that are using them as the meat to feed it. Putin started all this death for his own ambitions of grandeur and it’s just so sad so many die as a result. In Russia you just have to hope your parents have money and influence so that you don’t get drafted. There were a ton of rich 20+ year old males partying it up in Varadero after landing from Moscow the other week. All I can say…if Canada was at war and my countrymen were dying… I wouldn’t be able to go on vacation.
Cheers
In Canada we can agree to disagree and still go fishing and congratulate each other on a great fish.

But my comments in red for giggles.
