Background on Putin and Russia - A Day of Videos

Since this weekend is Easter weekend, both in Western and Orthodox religions, at least some of you, depending on where you live and where you work, may have some additional time off this weekend. Some of you, of course, won't. And whether you do or don't, many of you will have other obligations this weekend to meet. Here's hoping you do have some extra time to view a few videos dealing with Putin and Russia as further background about this part of the world. Don't expect the mainstream media to explain any of this; it's not because they can't; it's because it doesn't fit the narrative that's being pushed by the US, the EU, and NATO. They'd prefer that you believe Putin is crazy and Russia is a danger to Europe and the world.

While I don't necessarily agree with everything said in these videos, they give some good, solid background information for those who may not be up to speed with history and events in this part of the world.

So stay tuned for some video viewing!
