It takes a lot of new understanding to reckon why Putin agreed to harbor Snowden.
This means years of study and breaking up the brainwashing inflicted upon Americans
by the media/education/government/financial control establishments.
It takes a proper historical outlook on really who is Putin, what did he do, and why,
for Russians, who did he take power and money away from (the robber barons of perestroika)
and what type of Russia has he built ? Russia is a democracy, just like the US, they are
no less effective at representing the population than we are, perhaps even more accurately
does that government represent its people, and protect their interests. The IMF, Federal Reserve,
Bank of England, these are all controlled by a very small group, mostly of one tribe. Putin
threw them out after Yeltsin allowed them to gobble up Russia. They had plans for Russia
which Putin thwarted.. and they own the media in the US, which is why the media here
and our political establishment always portray Putin as a "dictator" who is "anti-freedom",
when in reality the Russian ruble is not controlled by that elite, like the US dollar is,
and the Russian government is an aid to the Russian citizen who let's face it, was going
to lose his country AGAIN, once to the Communists, and again to the foreign corporate
raiders, and liberal crowd we have here... this is why Putin promotes marriage (between
a man and a woman), among other healthy programs to bolster the Russian population.
Ghaddafi, Saddam, and Chavez both had similar efforts to help their people break away from
foreign domination, as does Assad... so remember if you do your research you will
discover there are two sides to every story, and increasingly often, such as with Putin's
stance against the orchestrated, illegal funding and promotion of foreign AL-Queda to
overthrow Assad which the US and Israel pushed, Putin emerged the victor and Syria
is better for it, after suffering through so much uneccessesary foreign attacks.
If it wasn't for Putin, we'd probably be in another war in the Middle East right now.
Here's a pretty good documentary to watch, it's from 2008, however it gives you
a reasonable portrayal of what is motivating the Russian nationalists, who want
Russia FOR Russians, are glad to have the Christian faith once more becoming
a strong influence in that country (as it is criticized, exploited, or vilified in the West)
and protectionist (a bad word according to brainwashed Americans) tendencies are
encouraged.
