Putin's 'role' reminds me, given his recent death, of Muhammad Ali.. Ali's 'role' was similar in his stand against the empire and its indoctrination of the masses regarding the war in 'Nam... conditioning of the public to 'sit down, shut up and follow orders'... and Ali was forced into this stand after they changed his draft status from 4f to 1a or whatever it was... changed after he won the championship and became such a public figure, especially for black Americans.... the PTB had to rein him in. Others took this stand, but weren't such public figures. Very few it is that have to make these choices in such a public role, which magnifies their choice and act as catalyst for everyone else, thus the threat they represent . Putin, unlike Xi in China, has become a global symbol of resistance, the real kind... and thus has become the biggest threat to our NWO imperial setup. Like Ali, he might not know the larger symbols at play, but his role does require him to; it only requires him to play his hand as dealt to him, same as the rest of us, to take a stand and keep our word, for better or for worse as history, later might decide.
