What does that mean for his country?

    No, I don’t know that. Even western media admits that Putin has over 80% support. Meanwhile, using a war as an excuse for a regime holding on to power without a mandate is not democracy. If people of Ukraine wanted to fight the invasion then they’d vote Zelensky back in. It’s that simple.

      No, “western” media reports that Putin got more than 80% of the votes in an election that was obviously rigged. Holding democratic elections is anything but simple and in a country fighting an invasion it’s practically impossible.

        They now tend to see the weakness of the Russian anti-war movement as a mark of complicity among the Russian public, and they are dismayed by Putin’s approval rating: independent pollsters have measured it at over 80% support more than two years into the invasion. Even President Volodymyr Zelensky and his team have all but given up on their hopes of a popular backlash in Russia against the war. They are no longer inclined to believe in the existence of what they often call “Good Russians.”

        The Putler puppets at The Time seem to be reporting this, but do go on. 🤡

        Meanwhile, you’ll have to explain to us all why holding democratic elections in a country fighting an invasion is practically impossible. Presumably, if the government had popular support for fighting, then it would win by a landslide. The only thing that makes impossible is the fact that people don’t actually want to fight, and the government is a western puppet regime that’s sacrificing people of Ukraine to serve western interests. This is why they literally kidnap people off the street, which is some more ruzzian propaganda reported by NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html

          It’s so funny to read ya from Russia. The lack of research is showing.

              It compliments my style, not my point. I’ve explicitly chosen that so some people can embarass themselves with taking a low hanging fruit (:

                Nah, it matches your rhetoric perfectly. The only part embarrassing here is that you’re oblivious to that fact. (:

                  That’s, like, your opinion, manperson. But what’s objectively true: putting a smile after the dot is indefensible in any court from Dubai to Massachusets. I believe, even Hitler condemned it’s use on the battlefield after being exposed to that in WW1.

        Please do enlighten us what reason you imagine western media has to lie about this. Should be good.

          I’m not saying they are or they aren’t.

          I’m pointing out your habit of saying Western Media™ is lying, until it supports one of your talking points.

          You’ve been posting a lot of reasonable stuff lately, but now here you are shilling for Russia again.

            My habit is to point when western media twists the truth because it has obvious biases. The fact that the media in the west has been saying how Russian army is collapsing for the past two years, and it’s now starting to admit that the opposite is the case is just one example. I’ve been saying the same thing consistently for the past two years, and I’m proven right by the facts on the ground time and again. If you consider engaging with reality as Russian shilling then what else is there to say to you.

              Seeth and cope, little buddy.

                The only people doing seething and coping here are the ones who are screeching about people shilling for Russia whenever forced to reconcile their fantasies with reality.

                  Seriously though, how much do they pay you? I could use some extra work for the summer.

                    Seeing sad losers throw fits over my comments is the only reward I need.
