While the U.S. was consumed for weeks with the mainstream media “news” that a football player got a heart attack after being tackled, there was not a peep from the Presstitutes that the grandson of the famed French general and former president, Charles de Gaulle, became a rare voice of the West by defending Russia after its invasion of Ukraine. He also noted how his grandfather valued his relationship with Moscow.
