QuoteMuch like Dmitry Orlov
Yes, the two personalities share (shared) the bombastic quality of self defined expert. Like they were brothers. Talk louder than everyone else so nobody challenges you. Orlov is more sneaky about it. I agree with your analysis. A Darwin award is in order. Living where Nazis are embedded in government, and then praising Putin who is at war with that same government is dumber than dumb. If he was where Orlov is, outside of St. Petersberg, then praising Putin would not be so dumb.
Self-promotion works until it does not. Self-promotion fueled by stirring shit with a stick can make a big stink.
