Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin has become a slave to his own propaganda and his ignorance is leading to Russia's destruction, it has been claimed.
Soviet-born businessman Alexander Temerko - who once held a senior position in Boris Yeltsin's administration - compared Putin's so-called "special operation" in Ukraine to China's invasion of Vietnam over 40 years ago.
Temerko told the Daily Mail the similarities between the two wars are "uncanny" and the invasion of Vietnam in March 1979 holds several lessons the despot would be a fool to ignore.
