Vladimir Putin came up through the KGB back in the U.S.S.R. After Boris Yeltsin gave Putin the keys & staggered off the stage, Putin cemented his hold on power by blaming apt bldg bombings on Chechens. Over 300 ppl were killed. This from the Heritage Foundation: 1/5

“Putin is a killer” because his rise to pwr was based on the siege of Grozny, the Chechen capital, where “between 50,000 and 80,000, most civilians, were killed. Russian tanks flattened the city.” Add to that: Plutonium enemas administered to Putin’s political opponents. 2/5

Commentators today, in overdue assessments, described Putin as “unstable.” Tens of thousands of innocent people have died - past tense - to place, & maintain, Putin in power. More will die.
Some Americans (MAGA) want the U.S. to be ruled by a “strong man.” 3/5

trump admires & would be a Putin, except trump is neither as smart nor as stable as Putin. trump primed this pump by breaking down support for Ukraine. Remember impeachment #1: trump’s attempt at shaking down Ukraine & depriving Ukraine of weapons. 4/5

This iteration of the GOP must disavow dictatorship & racism, or we must replace its leadership. I’m Mark Small. I’m pro-choice, pro environment, pro-civil rts & pro-democracy. I’m GOP candidate for Indiana House District 86. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 5/5
