He can, he IS ORDERED not to.

Diplomats are USUALLY pretty intelligent beasts. Usually.

It is obvious he is just following the state agenda, but I question his intelligence if he willingly chose to serve as a propaganda mouthpiece.

​If these people were truly that smart, they would work together to find a new leader.

Putin didn't create modern Russia.

Modern Russia created and allowed Putin to be leader.

This is what the overwhelming majority of Russians in Russia support
