We have chickens at home and usually we end up with far more eggs than we can use. A couple of years ago we tried giving some to the local food bank. They refused to take them saying that they were not government inspected. Eggs don't require government inspection in Canada but the locl turnips running the food bank imagined that they did.
Putin is a statesman like De Gaulle. His aim is not to communicate, but to govern for the good of his country. In Europe, he is the only statesman.
And he'll have no competition in France. Our new government is the archetypal communication government, with a heavy dose of nepotism. Macron encourages his new Prime Minister via X (ex-Twitter). The Prime Minister, a homosexual, has appointed his partner as Foreign Minister. Lavrov will be laughing.
The executive in France is "la cage aux folles" (a very funny play from the 70s about a homosexual couple).
I guess it depends what you mean by "communicate". In order to govern for the good of his country he communicates very clearly and intelligently. I think in France as in my own country Canada you do not have communication governments – you have propaganda governments.
But, but, but--TIME says of Antony Blinken, “He’s the right guy at the right time.” Since Blinken has assured us Putin-evil/Biden-good he must be endowed with Albright Vision into the future.
Our soundbite culture barely listens let alone observe. Therein lies the problem. You are so right to point out what can actually be gleaned from acute observation.
This is a great look at the leadership and one can see and understand why VVP polls, currently 83% approval, as he does. (https://www.levada.ru/en/ratings) - Contrast and compare with the puppet regime gauleiters and comprador overseers in the West.
Look at the "Year of the Family" proclaimed in the Russian Federation. Contrast and compare with the LGBTQXY&Z celebration of child abuse and perversity in the West.
Look at functional arms industry producing superior defense hardware in tye Russian Federation. - Contrast and compare with the money-laundering trillion dollar theft scheme that produced non-functional crap in the West.
Look at the .. well could go on and on. Think that the point is made.
Americans always need something to hate – or somebody. The logical concomitant of "woke" is hate – to the extent that it is a conformist doctrine. Read Putin's speech at Valdai.
Just to make a comparison with Western "politicians" other than Sleepy Joe... I will never forget when the ex-PM of UK, Boris Johnson, was confronted by an angry father in a hospital ~4 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVOV3sU8Ays
I know, it's unfair. It is like comparing Einstein with a monkey (still better than BoJo, probably!).
On a side note, please mind that there is a broken link: "Caritas, as St Paul calls it"
Reading transcripts of Vlademir Vlademerovich Putin's, Sergei Lavrov's and Maria Zakharovka's speeches should be required of all Westerns. After reading the words of these great people and seeing subtitles videos I am in awe of their intellect and genuine decency. Western "leaders" are mental midgets in comparison. Western "leaders" and "elite" are morally bankrupt in comparison.

You are a rarity to understand the concept.
. I’d be visiting the temple to our earlier times worshipping nature with the huge trees.
They knew things we have forgotten as we have evolved yet……
How sensible they were as we try today to be.
Excellent post, but I must comment on your "lighter note": read about Gummitch in "Space-Time for Springers" by Fritz Leiber (https://maggiemcneill.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/space-time-for-springers1.pdf)
Thank you Humphry so much! I just LOVED the article! I hope others read it too.

Putin talks in terms which anyone can understand-- except for Americans-- who just don't listen, much less think.

It’s just not Putin who is real, sincere. Lavrov, Maria Zacharova . It’s the culture he lives in which gives its citizens strength .
A ceremony found in the 18th century where the King was directly partitioned morphed into something very different .
Continuity of culture with a different meaning.
A traditional Japanese dancer I spoke to said every time she did her dance she learned more as the living context was different .
Radically opposed to dogma in meaning Id say.
It’s the strength of a blossoming culture.
Living in Japan as I do I understand exactly what you're saying!

I corrected that link – thank you – as always.
Sorry, but the link still appears broken to me. :(
Thanks once again – as always.

Indeed, compare them to Blinken or Sullivan.
I subscribe to Karl Sanchez's "Geopolitical Gymnasium": https://karlof1.substack.com/
It is really worth the time to read the (often long!) transcripts of Putin's, Lavrov's and Zakharovka's speeches!
Karlof is is really very good. I hope everybody subscribes to him and supports him. He also posts on Moon of Alabama and VK
Thanks Ismael.
It's worth it to listen to Putin's speeches to get a different perspective from what we're fed in the west.
His speeches always have substance-- nutrition for the brain. In the West, we get corn syrup and trans fats.
Put in the speech the Valdai Club is another must-read.
AIPAC is Israeli interference in American affairs – simply put.
Yes the experiment failed
