'From the start, Putin's response to the pandemic was criticized.

At first, he downplayed coronavirus, reassuring Russians that everything was under control and that the virus which put entire countries on lockdown hadn't crept across Russia's borders

Moscow's Health Department upped fears when it announced the city would run out of intensive care unit beds by the end of April. Then came the accusations from a Russian medical union that said the government was covering up cases and forcing doctors and nurses to treat patients without any protective equipment.

As outrage grew and the need for strong leadership became abundantly clear, Putin stepped out of the spotlight and relegated the crisis response to local and regional officials that have screwed it up spectacularly.

A good read especially considering the source.

NOTE this article is definitely not espousing conservative, tea party, Republican etc talking points.

2. Maybe Putin asked trump for advice

for a change and followed it?

[empedocles]

3. 'Great minds think alike'?

[Chainfire]

4. Maybe the silver lining

of this horrible black cloud is that we can get rid of the bastards.

5. Is This Satire?

Exchange name Putin for WH Menace and it all reads the same.

9. Putin has already thrown Chump under the bus - Russia, along with China and Iran,

blame the U. S. for the origins of the virus.

China, Iran and Russia are using the coronavirus crisis to launch a propaganda and disinformation onslaught against the United States, the State Department warns in a new report.

The three governments are pushing a host of matching messages: that the novel coronavirus is an American bioweapon, that the U.S. is scoring political points off the crisis, that the virus didn’t come from China, that U.S. troops spread it, that America’s sanctions are killing Iranians, that China’s response was great while the U.S.’ was negligent, that all three governments are managing the crisis well, and that the U.S. economy can't bear the toll of the virus.

10. China has closed its easier border to Russia supposedly. But I don't think there is a nation on the

planet that would come to the aide of the Trumpster. T-virus here we come. I am not sure yet about the zombie hoards, but I am willing to give them the benefit of doubt.
