Book Review: “The Plot To Scapegoat Russia: How the CIA and the Deep State Have Conspired to Vilify Putin”

Posted on September 9, 2019 by johnrachel

Courage because now any defense of Putin and Russia as actors on the world stage will invite personal vilification, marginalization, attacks on character and integrity, aspersions about disloyalty and lack of patriotic commitment, allegations of treachery and even sedition.
