    Dude there’s literally videos of Putin’s cronies stuffing ballot boxes. He also prosecutes activist and has them mysteriously fall out of windows. Like they sentenced a group for just making a podcast. He’s not a hero and doesn’t being liberation. He’s a sub imperialist who wants to replace the ruling imperial power. That’s all. Maybe not as bad. But that’s all he can offer.

      Sounds like projection from the US empire.

      If you wanna talk about prosecution of activists, maybe take a look at what happens to anyone who criticizes the US for being what it is.

        Explain and deflect as much as you want. You can’t talk his suppression of human rights with the LGBTQ, slander of trans people, abductions, assassinations, documented rigged elections and so on.

      Dude, mainstream western media openly admits that Putin has mass popular support in Russia, but you keep on doing your copes I guess. Nobody is talking about Putin being any sort of hero here. What’s being said is that there’s no evidence to suggest that elections in Russia need rigging. Meanwhile, the idea that Russia is trying to replace the US as the global hegemon is beyond laughable.

        Any election where the US preferred candidate doesn’t win, is rigged in the eyes of the western media industrial complex.

            The facts are only relevant on a different subject. But introducing that new subject undermines the original subject and dilutes the initial statement even though it’s factually correct. Gas lighting. You’re also assuming I’m not being persecuted. Of which in survived attempted murder fighting corruption in America. I have the legitimacy to criticize Putin.

              The conclusion doesn’t follow the premise.

              Big if true.
