Hey, here’s an idea, read some history. Putin’s history to be exact. Putin hasn’t been voted in for his last two terms, nor was he voted in this time. Putin PUT HIMSELF back into the Presidency, like he did two times before. WOW! Who does not know this? Oh, that’s right ….YOU!

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

nonsense. Why do you think Russia has a real voting system?

[@HeatherRider]

You really think he won 80% of the vote? That's what dictators do, they lie and cheat. Even had illegitimate elections in occupied territory, so at least a fourth of the votes he got weren't even legitimate, but he also rigs it in order to stay in power. He's been in the Kremlin for as long as Queen Catherine the Great, possibly longer. 👑

[@YannR34]

I have seen a Chinese guy who was in Russia Army in contract and he documented his experience with videos, And only 3 guys were still alive after not more than 8 hours on the field. After few times they all have been replaced and didn't last more. At the end only 2 came back, him and another one who flew away soon enough. He said that it was his worst experience ever and do not recommend it to anyone and he had experience in army before that.... He had to stay hidden all the time, and the worse was the drones chasing them as soon as they were seen. He considere himself very lucky to be able to come back. The other guy was an African also under contract and he was terrified and abandoned the Chinese alone when it became too hot. They find each other at the end and the Chinese had no bad feeling because he said that the African was not prepared to that, he had no experience at all and just panicked.

The youngsters who managed to escape this totally silly conscript to wage their lives in UA are in fact no traitors but the lucky and wise ones, because after this conflict no body will remember them at all. Money is the main reason which shows in what kind of state the Russian economy is and the overwhelming mass of extremely poor people which do not count at all for this P. regime. What about disabled soldiers who need years of medical treatment ? What about murderers returning back after duty coming from death sentences in prisons ? What about the families who have no idea of the whereabouts of their sons in the killing fields of UA ? Nobody knows. Maybe Russia has more ppl or soldiers in the army ... but how long these lies will go on for the Russian families ?

[@douglasbillington8521]

How many actual Russians really approve of Pootin, I wonder. We always see the propaganda but what's the reality?

[@grmpEqweer]

Really hard to say. Would you answer a pollster honestly on that if you were in Russia? I wouldn't. OTOH, they have liked Putin up until now... He's failing.

[@telebubba5527]

There will be a fair bunch of people. But the reality is that they have let it go on too long and didn't do something when it was still possible, they also let themselves be intimidated and they are also unable to unite themselves into a meaningful movement by now. I don't know if you are aware of the poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller: 'First they came for the Communists'. It is very worth while to take it in. Because that is exactly what is happening in Russia. The story behind the poem is also very worth while to read.
