An Unanswered Question

 

Due to my diligent efforts to find an instance where President Putin had told the truth, I posed the question on my Proza.ru blog, LiveJournal, and on Russian-language forums, "I would be grateful if anyone could provide even one example of Putin telling the truth." (1) To my surprise, there was no affirmative answer. The reaction of the Proza.ru moderator to this innocent question was particularly telling. The thread immediately disappeared, replaced by the message "Work not displayed." (2) After some time, apparently realizing that he was thereby revealing the lack of truth in Putin's words, the moderator reinstated my question. However, no one who read the question found an example where Putin had told the truth. After that, the moderator was finally forced to close the thread to avoid being labeled an extremist under the new legislation and facing prison.

Thus, the lack of an answer leads to an unambiguous conclusion: Putin is a liar, which once again confirmed my long-standing definition of Putin as a liar. (3)

Once something hasn't been proven then it's neither truth nor lie. Just there. Until something is proven, then it can be either be a lie or a truth. With that aside, you can tell where I am driving at. Calling Putin a liar without evidence is just your opinion and until it is proven then we can call it what it is. As it stands, you can see I am not siding anybody. I am just stating facts based what is universal.

 How is this not proven? Putin lied about not attacking Ukraine. He lied about not changing the Constitution. He lied about not raising the retirement age.

Putin has seemed to have lied by not enforcing many of his red lines against Ukraine. It's called mercy, and loving your neighbor.
