IDK what "talking points" you refer to, but have you read Putin's speeches over the last few yrs? I have. And I find myself in total agreement with almost everything he says, as well as impressed with his keen understanding and even wisdom. Quite the contrast w/Western "leaders".
"Putin’s talking points" is the foremost neocon lie. So if you're being honest, then you do not see through them. at all. But I suspect you're not being honest.
