RE DK RECENT POST

There is talk, call it propaganda, that Putin has pulled back from Kiev, because a deal between Putin and Zalensky may be in the works.

Here was CrocodileChuck, above, quoting Dan Neil: "Good propaganda fools the people who read it. Great propaganda fools the people who make it." -- Dan Neil, The Los Angeles Times, 2007.

In my judgment, and I may be wrong, Putin feels about Zalensky more or less like the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia felt about Khashoggi.

All the best
