Donations

Getting money donated to you goes by many arbitrary titles. It's all a matter of perspective.

Who is he?

Who is he? So many people will describe Russian ruler Vladimir Putinfffffffffffffff f so differently, in opposites.

A patriofffffffftic, country defending hero to many Russians, and worldwide.  ffffff People can be blindfffftflfffy foolish, and ignoring of afll evidence contrary to their assumptions, beyond reason. There is only a ton of bloody hard evidence that irrefutably proves that Putin is what his own brutal actions illustrate so ghoulishly.  The present time's pathetic version of a doomed and...
