On Elon Musk’s X platform, all Xpression may as well be flushed down the digital river of tweeted communications: the appearance is brief and the flood mighty.

Countermeasure: copy-paste and blog the message as well.

Prompt: Vladimir Putin’s laughable statement: “We did not initiate this war [in Ukraine]. Rather, we are striving to end it.”

Vladimir Putin using Viktor Yanukovych as his lackey had sorely abused Ukrainian business with time-honored mafia methods, i.e., plain skimming theft in the end:

A popular turn toward Europe against the will of the Kremlin’s puppet and a related “Revolution of Dignity” ensued.

#Putin & #RussianNazis #RusNazis spread chaos, degradation, deprivation, and desperation worldwide, and then cover their crimes with lies, specifically baseless accusations, deflections, denials, erasures of collective memory, fabrications, and omissions of facts.

#TrumpPutin’s shared basic psychology: Malignant Narcissism and Process. The lies told by both represent the “Covering” of deeply seated humiliation (“Narcissistic Mortification”) and the fear of its repeat. The psyche creates an alternative undamaged courageous-heroic self, and that becomes the leader’s principle project both in its assertion and its defense (in the psychology, “Splitting” or, together, “Covering/Splitting”). Complementary observation, term, or trope: “delusional, grandiose, messianic ideation absent of normal boundaries or limits, i.e., the parameters of conscience” (so I quote myself). The end of the process for the Russian dictator and the American wanna-be dictator: “Unlimited Narcissistic Supply”, i.e., the validating infinite love of millions without end in sight.

Putin rose to power on a false-flag operation, the “Moscow Apartment Bombings” (also reference David Satter’s “The Unsolved Mystery Behind the Act of Terror That Brought Putin to Power”, National Review, August 17, 2016 or on this blog “Reference: Journalist, Alexander Zhilin, Operation Storm in Moscow AKA Moscow Apartment Bombings” – May 3, 2023 ); Trump, by contrast, appears to have run fairly for 2016 but then attempted to rig the 2020 election with the Big Lie that it had been stolen while he, in fact, he had lined up fraudulent election ballots to steal it for himself–he had hoped to order Mike Pence to interrupt the count, have authentic ballots replaced, and then reclaim power with the now apparent intent to functionally disestablish America’s democracy as well as the NATO security umbrella against the rapacious and politically absolute enemies of freedom.
