According to mainstream media it is yes...But I'm pretty sure that Russia's Putin is a puppet just like most other country's leaders...Controlled opposition. And CNN are among the worst for 'news' value. FOX, CNN, ABC, BBC, RTE, RTL it doesn't really matter who you listen to. They're all one big pile of crap. CNN is owned by Turner, Fox by 20th century Fox. And then when you think there's one you can trust, like National Geographic for instance...think again, also 20th century fox...These guys are all movie companies. You're making jokes, but I don't, I take this quite seriously. Like I said, I have indisputable proof that the Ariana Grande concert was a hoax. And there is so much more. But there are still too many people who just won't see it. Simply because the truth will blow them away. Sometimes it's just easier not to see it I guess.
