IN AN ERA where world leaders boast about achievements like economic growth, space exploration, or healthcare reform, Vladimir Putin of Russia has redefined the game that he became the ultimate envy of dictator-leaders worldwide.
Putin has achieved what no other leader has done: that is, turning an entire nation into a choir of unquestioning human robots. Marvel at the sheer brilliance of this feat! Who needs free will or dissent when you can have programmed obedience?
The Art of Silence: A Nation’s Greatest Strength.
Take the case of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. What was contemplated by Putin’s war generals to be done in just days, now exceeded three years and a loss of more than a million lives killed and displaced.
Putin’s war pursuits devastated the Russian economy and generated countless western sanctions directly affecting its economy and citizens. But a minimal and not significant Russian voices of dissent was heard.
Proof of Russians robotic transformation lies in the peculiar calm of Russian streets. While citizens of other countries may march, chant, wave placards and riot at the slightest provocation—a tax hike, a poor economy, an unnecessary war —Russians have mastered the fine art of saying, well… absolutely nothing.
After all, why risk a visit from men in dark suits or a one-way ticket to Siberia? Silence is golden, especially when it’s the only sound allowed.
The Vertigo Epidemic Among Russian Generals and Oligarchs
Of course, every achievement has its hiccups, and in Putin’s Russia, this comes in the form of a baffling epidemic: vertigo. It’s an ailment that disproportionately affects only Russia’s high-ranking generals and wealthy oligarchs.
These unfortunate individuals, especially those who expressed mild dissatisfaction with Kremlin policies, suddenly feel dizzy, then “jumped” and plummeted to their deaths from windows, balconies, high rise hotels or yachts.
Russian oligarchs and generals who fall (or were pushed) to their death now exceeds 65 at last count that it
borders to a rising epidemic. And no one dared asked why, or risk being infected by this feisty vertigo virus.
It’s a phenomenon so widespread that one wonders if Russian architects secretly design buildings with gravitational anomalies.
Robots Don’t Protest
This lack of public outrage at such incidents further proves the robotic efficiency of Putin’s program. Robots, after all, do not protest. At the slightest lift of Putin’s hand, every whisper of protest becomes eerily silent.
They do not ask why a billionaire oil magnate decided to test gravity from his penthouse, nor why a defense minister resigned only to ‘accidentally’ trip into a black hole. Questions are for humans, and humans are so… 1990s.
The Future of Automatons
Looking ahead, experts predict that the next stage in Putin’s grand vision is to remove the need for elections altogether. “Why bother when the result is predetermined?” mused one Kremlin insider. “We’re saving paper and ink. It’s environmentally friendly!”
Final Thoughts
In a world obsessed with AI and robots, Putin has shown us that the ultimate robot-machine is not built in a lab but can be molded from flesh and FEAR. Putin as a godless leader makes a godless nation that puts no regard and worth to the human value.
For Putin, each Russian – and all who serve him – is simply expendable just to realize his own agenda.
Well, that’s not what God created humans for. In fact, God puts the highest and immense value to each person and for each life. For the value of each person, Jesus Christ said, “I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.” God intends that each person attains the good of his total wellbeing.
Unlike Putin, God affirms the greatest value for each person – Russian or not – so that even if one gains the whole world, it cannot be exchanged to a loss of just one single soul. Again, this truth reverberates for all to ponder: “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and to lose his soul?” (Mark 8:36)
A godless ideology, a godless leader, a godless path, a godless future will one day meet God’s judgement. That’s for sure!/PN
