The first part of your post sounded as if you were going down a fauxhole. The latter part redeemed it as being more serious.

Ally House (Oregon): Not sure what you mean, but yes, I am serious.

To be blunt: the first part of your post sounded as if you were trumpeting faux noise. Later, you showed that you were not a troll.

Ally, it is not trumpeting faux noise to state the parallels between the effects of untruths told by both Putin and Trump. Rather it makes me more understanding of the situation and perspectives of the general Russian people and of the oligarchs, and the similarities between Putin and Trump. And it is not trolling (in my opinion) to state understanding of the oppositionтАЩs opinion and how widely it might be held. While the press reports that thousands of Russians are attempting to flee the draft, many are not. ItтАЩs a matter of balance. I think perhaps we have simply misunderstood one another.

Agreed. On first impression, that was not where I perceived you were going with it. After reading your entire post I realized where you were going. I did not comment originally because of that. My comment, after MikeтАЩs, was to try to explain how your comment read. I failed, obviously. Multiple times.
