Former envoy to the Netherlands, Pete Hoekstra? This asshole who ran away from reporters actually pressing on him questions instead of rolling over like Americans? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wD9NXj9HByU
He also did this, about the same incident. Called previous statement fake news, then, 11 seconds later, after being shown his own video, said he never called it fake news: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=K8AwFc9hlf4



He could, but it would basically be suicide for him. So he won’t.
You can’t base an empire on your own strong personal might, and then show weakness. A palace guard like Rosgvardia is only useful as long as they actually believe you have the ability and power to protect them like they protect you. The moment that stops, it’s just a question of who finds the balls to kill Putin first.
