Sometimes, I get the strange feeling that we are getting more transparency from the Kremlin than from the White House, Capital Hill or the Pentagon.

I am not sure it is transparency so much as lucidity. The Western elite have lost their minds. Whatever one things of Putin or his motives, these things are embedded in his political philosophy as the leader of Russia:
1. The foundation of national sovereignty is non-negotiable. Putin will not barter away Russia’s autonomy for One World bullsquirt, or surrender decisions on Russian interests to outsiders.
2. Christianity is a part of the national and cultural bedrock of Russia and will be recognized and encouraged.
3. For Russia to have a future, Russians must have more children and families are encouraged. Sterile perversions and abortion, while tolerated, are NOT encouraged.
4. Objective, existential threats to the nation will be countered, no matter the source of the threat. They will not be ignored or irrationally minimized.
5. A socialist command economy and redistribution have been tried and have failed. Those errors will not be repeated.
6. Jihad will not be tolerated and its practitioners shall be physically destroyed. Aggressors will not be forgiven or “dialogued” with nor will there be efforts to “understand” them. They will be identified, pursued, and killed.
Those are all objective, rational principles for any national leader. We do NOT see them in the West. I think Russia is holding her cards very closely, because that is what Russians do. But in distinction to the secular West, Russia remains a rational nation state. That is why Russia is more credible, and it is also why the One World globalists lust to pull Russia down and dismember her. Russia’s existence is a rebuke to them.
