After the big interview, I said to my wife, "I wish I could have briefed Putin before the interview on how best to connect with Americans and what to be sure not to leave out."
I think he missed an opportunity to document some of the most critical information on Ukrainian war crimes committed against Russia prior to The Special Military Operation of 2022.
But perhaps President Putin would have replied to me, "Mr. Botkin, thank you for your advice, but you fail to understand just how irrelevant America has become in serious discussions about foreign policy and world affairs. My interest is not in "connecting" with Americans, but in speaking to the hundreds of millions in those nations which did not join the West in sanctions against Russia. They listen carefully to what I say, even my lengthy history lessons."
This reality may have been best summarized by the writer SIMPLICIUS in the following post:

"Westoids complaining about Putin's interview being too pedantic have an inflated sense of self-worth: they assume the interview is primarily designed to appeal to them. Little do they know the West has become so irrelevant that it's no longer even necessarily the chief intended audience for Putin's transmissions.
"For instance, many of Putin's statements go viral in China, generating hundreds of millions or even billions of views/impressions on sites like Weibo, vastly larger engagements than the entire population of most of the West combined. In the east, where the citizenry is learned, historically-literate, etc., Putin's longueurs are actually appreciated, dissected, and discussed. This is particularly the case in China, where the majority of people are not only history buffs, but have a sacred respect for history and tradition.
"In the West, Putin's words may fall on deaf ears and be drowned out by illiterate popculture noise, but the West is no longer relevant to the world. In other places, Putin's words will reverberate, consummating their intended effects."

Games stimulate the mind. Kids thrive on mental stimulation. Games teach kids to triumph over challenging problems.
This story out of India: Sarwagya Singh Kushwaha was born in 2022. At 30 months he started learning chess. By age three he had defeated five ranking members of the International Chess Federation, earning him his own official ranking. What’s next? Recognition as a grand master as he continues learn about how chess works, and how victory is achieved against some of the most active minds of his generation.
Since the 2024 election, commentators are no longer afraid to say the unsayable: White, college-educated women are among the most foolish and stupid on the planet. John G. Roberto labels them indoctrinated, "socialist useful idiots." Beanman19701 describes them as "the gift that keeps on giving" to every leftist cause, because their support will be perpetual, unthinking backing for the left.
Now the Queen of Leftist Philanthropy explains how she became a useful idiot for Klaus Schwab and the global left mafia. Nicole Shanahan - ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former running mate of RFK Jr., and someone who personally signed nine-figure philanthropy checks - just revealed how she and the other Silicon Valley college-educated-white-women were tricked, recruited and used.
"I don't think many of the tech mafia wives realize,” says Shanahan, “they were used to set the groundwork for what Klaus Schwab calls The Great Reset.
Their money especially was being conscripted ...
It has long been understood that the New York Times is the public voice of the American intelligence establishment, and that American media takes its cues from the Times on what should or should not be reported. In 2025, the Times stopped lying about two aspects of the Ukrainian war, and the about-face has shaken the world. On March 9th, the Times admitted that it was America which made war against Russia, for decades, falsely pretending that Russia was an aggressor against Ukraine. This previous narrative was fake war propaganda all along.
Now comes another truth bomb from the Times: Zelenskii is no Messiah, but a highly accomplished crook who cares nothing about the suffering of Ukrainians.
On December 5th, the Times proved that the hero-status they had once given Zelenskii was another fake narrative created by the deep state for the purposes of extending billions of ...
