Something that Douglas Murray brought up in an interview that I listened to last night really stuck out to me.
He spoke to a journalist who did some legitimate work on Russia and Putin.
Specifically, apparently Putin has been building an estate for some time with taxpayer money. The estate has its own vineyard. It also had a guest house. In a bathroom in the guest house there's a gold hairbrush that costs as much as the average yearly salary of the average Russian civilian.
Stop telling me that governments give two shits about their people.
