With the horrendous historical preambles of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao, the world now knows that Russiaβs Vladimir Putin is a murderous thug. What our Left misses or means to misinform is the manner in which many of us on the Right assess Putinβs geo-strategic actions, especially when compared in the same arena to the sophomoric efforts of Team Bumblebrain.
To assess Putinβs strategy, concerning his latest effort to expand Russiaβs borders and sphere of influence, with attributes such as clever, shrewd, adroit, and even brilliant has no bearing on the manβs character, values, mores, or any other trait laudable by the international community. A scoundrel can be all these things without ever being mistaken for a person of high principles and moral character. To the discerning, assessment can be and has always been received and rendered as independent of adulation.
It is in their political desperation that the Democrats have revived their fabricated Russia Collusion hoax to again paint Trump as a Putin toady. Their dumb-as-doorknobs lamestream trumpets have dutifully picked up the chorus, and when reporting on the matter, even FN has had trouble always making the distinction between assessment and adulation. But Democrats can count on their lightly-read minions to lap up the βnew evidenceβ that Trump has always been subservient to the Slav with dirty pictures of him. Lakoff (q.v.) would approve of such posturing as maintenance of the established TDS frame.
