Since Freeland was banned from Russia, apparently to her distress at the time it happened, I don’t think she flummoxed anyone in Russia, Ukraine or anywhere else, for that matter. And then, of course, there was the much more recent episode in the Canadian Parliament where she and others applauded Jaroslav Hunka, a good old time National Socialist who fought against the Soviets in WWII, without grasping exactly what that means. A deficit in the history curriculum perhaps? Canadians need not care what outsiders think, but the goings on in Canada with people like Trudeau and Freeland in charge, globalists to be exact, have left some of us scratching our heads as to why and how generally very nice Canadians elected such, well, I will call them people to be polite.
We, like you and anyone else, elected them because they're puissant watersnakes who rose to power not only riding but summoning a tsunami of public opinion.
Of course, Freeland's view of her expulsion from Russia contrasts your view: "Though I was eventually forced to leave the country, I have no regrets about my time in Ukraine during the Soviet period. Out of this experience, what struck me, very powerfully, was how quickly a rotten political system could collapse, and how important the work of brave dissidents could be."
Like I said—puissant.
Surely, you – like any promising student of propaganda – knows about the KGB, whose once-secret journals came to light a few years ago. In them, Colonel A. Stroi, who objected to Freeland's activism in Ukraine (along with the other active agents who authored the journals), called her "a remarkable individual," displaying "an analytical mindset," which proved "erudite, sociable, persistent and inventive in achieving her goals."
Interesting. My statement about Freeland is that at the time she was expelled from the country, she was disgruntled. It was not that she regretted her time there. Ideologues like Freeland seek to cement their belief system, which in her case apparently came from her family. Once the seed is planted in the mind of the ideologue and grows accordingly into a poisonous plant, it is stuck permanently. I do not consider this to be a sign of true intelligence, but that is my opinion. Russia will always be to her what it might arguably have been in the past never to evolve or change in any way, which her density will not permit. BTW, I am no Russophile. The argument might be made that Putin is as dense as Freeland.

As entertaining as ever. I will wait by my phone with bated breath for part 2.
