Dmitry Orlov is a Russian-American engineer and a writer.
He was born in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg), but emigrated to the United States for a while, and then returned to Russia.
Dmitry writes on subjects related to economic, ecological, and political decline in the West, and argues that America is imploding. Interestingly, former KGB agent, Yuri Bezmenov, made the same point in his infamous American interview back in 1984 (ironically).
Do you believe the media?
Who is telling the truth? What is the truth? Did Putin wake up on the wrong side of the bed and suddenly decide to bomb Ukraine?
I am more inclined to believe those who are censored and suppressed; those with more to lose; those with skin in the game.
