(57,314 posts)The materials are not leaked to the West. It is a Russian newspaper that has them. If it is published, you can then inspect the document. It will, of course, be in Russian and published in Russian. How much Russian do you know? I had three semesters in college--very little, but more than most here, I expect.
Putin is plenty smart. You clearly know very little about him or his rise to power. Rove is an amateur compared to Putin, and a pauper too. One example of Putin's successes is how many people in this country he has justifying empire building and killing in the Ukraine. Document or not, that is what you all are doing, and quite gleefully. And most of you all don't even get a salary, but here we hear time and time again how war is justified because you don't like Ukrainians and their views. A lot of wars and loss of life could be justified that same way. People who are anti-war do not behave that way.
As for Putin's propaganda, i have seen people here give the the exact same excuses that I have heard Putin make, so don't tell me they aren't regurgitating his propaganda. And none of that has anything to do with opposition to US intervention. It's all about justifying war in the Ukraine.
