You have a pro-russian leader.

The massive sanctions he's placing on Russian oil make that impossible to believe.

  • Those can also be explained by favouring usa/venezuela oil while still supporting Russian politics. For example: in the Ukraine war he is constantly seeking ways and arguments to support putins position even though he is one of the few leaders worldwide who do this.

    • They're not favouring - they're even enforcing secondary sanctions on Russian oil on China and India, which is difficult and expensive.

      The fact that you can divine pro-Putin things from his speech means nothing compared to him performing massively powerful economic action against Putin.

  • I think it is fair to separate putin and russia. I mean, I don't think he uses our society as proxy for his own ego. I think he really likes Putin.
