Ditto! I still shake my head in disbelief as I read articles and nod my head in agreement with Putin and viewpoints expressed on Russia's behalf. Makes me wonder what else we've been told incorrectly for years...decades....

Bingo! I think it may be time for all of us to revisit our "beliefs" on many things.

No conclusions. Who to believe?

And...

From a sometime photographer with an eye for detail, take a gander at some historical images of Vlad.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50729110 Call me crazy, but I see three different faces in this series. Oh, the doubles are good enough, but they are not the same guy as the older photos.

Here's another, two actually, if you look at the book cover image at the close of the piece, with story enough to cast doubt. https://lithub.com/a-small-vengeful-man-how-vladimir-putin-began-his-iron-fisted-reign/ Sorry, but again this is not the same guy as in recent photos.

All of which raises a bunch of questions, some of which we're already asking about the ?potato/Pringles cut-out? sitting in the White House. 🤷‍♀️
