Wow. How do you explain Putin amassing $200 billion in wealth despite spending almost his entire adult life in politics? That sounds like a corrupt man.
Putin's mother won a car in a lottery. His family had to choose: sell it for an apartment, or keep it so he could get to university.
They stayed in their one-room communal apartment. She chose her son's future. That's who Putin came from.
Putin's mother worked as a hospital janitor after retiring. One day at the cafeteria, they gave her a lottery ticket as change. She won a car, a Zaporozhets. The most basic car you could get in the Soviet Union.
The family lived in one room which was so called ommunal apartment with shared kitchen, shared bathroom with other families. Putin had just started university.
They sat down to decide what to do. Sell the ticket and buy a cooperative apartment, or keep the car.
Putin was sure they'd sell it. Getting out of that single room was the obvious choice for a family living on almost nothing. His mother said: We'll take the car. Let our son drive it.
They stayed in that one room so he could have transportation to university. That's who Putin came from.
Trump's father was a real estate mogul worth hundreds of millions. Trump grew up in a 23-room mansion, private schools, a reported $413 million inheritance. His first ventures funded with his father's money. He was born into an empire.
Americans love to talk about rejecting kings. No monarchy, no aristocracy. But the self-made man is the American Dream.
Then they elect someone born into dynastic wealth who lives in a gold-plated penthouse and puts his kids in government positions. And call the guy whose mom worked as a janitor a dictator.
But it turns out Putin is the ultimate American Dream story: a self-made man who rose from an ordinary family to become a representative of his people and the leader of his country.

@DaudiKabanda Which passport was holding holding when he first travelled to Canada?
Also, is the NIRA form we've seen online where he indicated his tribe as Mufumbira true? In previous interviews he mentioned his mum was a mufumbira.
He must be consistent with his story.
@VictorMurashi Who sanctioned her?
Vampire RPF?
Hahaha
Which is heavier — being sanctioned by the US or by Rwanda?
The blood of the Congolese is doing a number on you. Change your ways before it’s too late.
Advocating for Religious Freedom and Democracy in Rwanda: Today at the U.S. State Department, Dr Eliel and I are advocating for greater religious freedom and democratic rights in Rwanda. Since the times of COVID19, most churches in Rwanda remain closed by the government. While the constitution guarantees freedom of worship, strict regulations have closed thousands of churches—Last year, Kagame declared that he will close all churches, a choice that’s not by the people nor for the people. Substantial reforms to strengthen freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of movement are essential to building a more inclusive and open Rwanda.
Rwanda : les mouvements anti-Kagame en pleine conquête de l’opinion américaine à Washington
L’opposition rwandaise en exil entre dans une nouvelle phase. Le 29 mai, une marche aura lieu dans les rues de Washington pour contester ce qu’elle qualifie de régime autoritaire du président Paul Kagame et pour réclamer une transition démocratique au Rwanda. Cette marche est organisée par des partis politiques, des organisations de la société civile et d’autres personnalités rwandaises résidant aux États-Unis et à l’étranger. https://t.co/j9kbRv6aib @kota_eugene
@GigglingGanon have seen many videos like this and, to be honest, it is disgusting. A post office is a public space, yes, but you made sure to follow her out. Why target her? She also has a right to privacy; she is not public property. I hope the case was rejected. This nonsense should stop.
To claim Kagame avenged Lumumba by slaughtering millions of Congolese and orchestrating the brutal plunder of Congo minerals is the ultimate historical gaslighting. Your propaganda is cheap. Kagame didn’t liberate Congo from Western imperialism—he replaced it with Rwandan aggression.
C’est triste de voir de “jeunes” Africains comme ceux de @Telesud_ d’avoir le même niveau d’aliénation vis-à-vis de ceux qui géraient la politique de la vieille France … ceux qui faisaient la “FranceAfrique”… Bougris était déjà fini à coté de la nouvelle réalité qui se développait après Museveni… lui-même ne fait que fantasmer. Kagame a contribué à la lutte de libération de l’Ouganda mais n’a pas “été à l’école de Museveni..” … lui et les Rwandais en exil avaient leurs propre mission, celle de libérer les Rwandais d’un régime fasciste qui était client de cette FranceAfrique… Mobutu par contre était accroché à cette FranceAfrique qui lui promettait quelques années encore de service… auxquels il s’accrochait. C’est pourquoi il permettait entre 1994 et 96 aux génocidaires Rwandais qui avec pris le contrôle des 2 provinces du Kivu à faire des incursions meurtrières au Rwanda… Kagame n’avait rien contre Mobutu et n’avait aucune raison ni envie de “prendre” le Zaïre/Congo… c’est Mobutu qui n’a pas compris qu’il n’était plus rien et qu’il n’avait aucun moyen de pouvoir faire face au Rwanda s’il décidait de neutraliser les génocidaires en entrant au Zaïre/Congo… Mobutu a préféré rester dans son aliénation croyant que la FranceAfrique de Bougri et Mitterrand continuerait à le soutenir… il finit dans les pires conditions pour quelqu’un qui avait le valet et agent de l’impérialisme Américain et Français… et Belge.
C’est Kagame qui a vengé Patrice Lumumba.

Is God finally using Trump to end the decades-long carnage in the DRC?
The decades-long conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is characterized as a corporate-driven,, multi-billion-dollar extraction mechanism masked by manipulated narratives of ethnic warfare.
Trump administration could disrupt this cycle by dismantling foreign policy networks that protect regional proxy actors and mineral exploitation, potentially offering a path to stability.
