      True. There is an outlandish misconception that if Putin is removed Russia will suddenly become a liberal democracy, while in reality the most probable successor is Dmitry Medvedev, who is twice the imperialist Putin is. Navalny was a brave soul (especially protesting Putin's immigration policies, which are just as insane as those of Western democracies) but he never had a chance to win the presidency.
      You'd think we should have learnt from Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya who didn't exactly became beacons of liberalism and democracy when the previous leadership was removed, but wishful thinking dies hard I guess.
      Russia certainly has its own kind of degeneracy but that doesn't mean Russians want Western degeneracy on top of that. And Russia is an innately imperialist country. It has to be defeated on the battlefield.

Protestants here, Methodists there, Buddhists over there, Hindus over there. Up the stairs they go and there's a big white curtain. He hears people praying and Charlie says, who's behind this curtain. God says, shhhhhh, they are Catholics, they think they are the only ones here! The western mindset is just like the Catholic's mindset( in that joke). Not all Catholics are like that for sure, there are many many funny and good Catholics.

    What I enjoy about these Times Radio interviews, is that they are consistently wrong.
    Their predictions do not come true, and the opinions expressed, have no foundation.
    Nevertheless, they keep on churning them out, with a dogged sense of purpose.
    They must think that if they believe what they are saying strongly enough, that it will all come to pass.

    It's always a great interview when James wears a Dapper jacket. I think that jacket gives him interviewing powers, not unlike Samson's hair was responsible for his strength. Has to be the jacket, James has very short hair. Anyway now that the important information is out of the way, great guest
