At least sauron wasn’t lying like putin.

I actually watch the whole damn thing. For me, Putin went from highly intelligent evil dictator to highly stupid evil dictator. I hope I get the chance to spit on his grave one day.
Isn’t it crazy that the more you learn about world leaders, the more it becomes evident that they’re a bunch of morons just like everyone else?
Gondor has historically always been part of Mordor, we just gave it to them for a little while because we were bored.
…so you see the King of Gondor is and always has been an Occupier, who hasn’t paid rent to the rightful owner in many centuries
The Last Ringbearer (annas-archive) by the paleontologist Kirill Eskov.
Eskov bases his novel on the premise that the Tolkien account is a “history written by the victors”.[2][3] Mordor is home to an “amazing city of alchemists and poets, mechanics and astronomers, philosophers and physicians, the heart of the only civilization in Middle-earth to bet on rational knowledge and bravely pitch its barely adolescent technology against ancient magic”, posing a threat to the war-mongering faction represented by Gandalf (whose attitude is described by Saruman as “crafting the Final Solution to the Mordorian problem”) and the Elves.[2]
Macy Halford, in The New Yorker, writes that The Last Ringbearer retells The Lord of the Rings “from the perspective of the bad guys, written by a Russian paleontologist in the late nineties and wildly popular in Russia”.[4] The book was written in the context of other Russian reinterpretations of Tolkien’s works, such as Natalia Vasilyeva and Natalia Nekrasova’s The Black Book of Arda [ru], which treats Melkor as good and the Valar and Eru Ilúvatar as tyrannical rulers.
