The year is 1984, and a young Vladimir Putin is receiving a new identity for his next top secret, undercover assignment for the KGB. Only a handful of people on Earth know who this man really is. One of those men is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Or, at least, that’s what the 158-year-old Biden now recalls. Yes, old Timeslip Joe has been reminiscing about things that never happened again. In an interview with ABC on the shores of Normandy, Biden changed the subject from honoring Second World War veterans to how much Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘concerns’ him. ‘I’ve known him for over 40 years. He’s concerned me for 40 years. He’s not a decent man,’ Biden said. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.

Western political elites and media have spent decades cultivating a negative image of Russia. Over the past two years demonisation of Russia has reached new levels. The country is now seen as a threat to the whole of Europe. Claims that the conflict in Ukraine is just the first step have become axiomatic in Western discourse. Has the West's smear campaign succeeded? Are people in NATO countries convinced that Russia is to be feared? Is there consensus among the EU nations and the U.S.? Which trends in which countries dominate in 2024?
