Ignore Candace Owens. Putin’s Russia is a failing kleptocracy
Back in 1985, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev allegedly told French President Francois Mitterrand in a private conversation that the USSR was a “third-world country with nuclear weapons.” Not much has changed in Russia proper, including the presence of Western dupes cheering on the flailing autocrats.
TL;DR
- Candace Owens visited Russia and praised its Christian expression, stating Western media lies about the country.
- Tucker Carlson previously visited Russia and made similar positive remarks.
- Owens shared pictures, possibly from the Main Cathedral of the Russian Armed Forces, celebrating national glories.
- The article argues that contemporary Russia uses "Christian expression" cynically, with low weekly religious service attendance.
- A 1985 conversation between Gorbachev and Mitterrand described the USSR as a "third-world country with nuclear weapons."
