Why did they even waste time on an election? The fanfare was probably nice. But the resentment, on both sides, could very well ... Don’t know.
Gosh! What a shocker!
What kind of government does Russia have now, that it has both a prime minister and a president? Either one or the other will be a figurehead, or else there is going to be a tension over the “controlling legal authority” in the executive. I freely admit I do not grok Russian constitutions.
Almost all of the opposition against Putin was rigged too. Come on, Zyuganov was an opposition leader, as part of the Russian Communist Party? Give me a break. Zyuganov is part of the show there. Putin and Zyuganov are close friends.
What was Stalin’s quote?
“It’s not who votes that counts; it who counts the votes.”
Of course he got re-elected.

Was he elected, or ‘elected’?
Russia is so divided right now that im afraid that Putin would launch a war as a way to pull together unity and keep his strangle hold on that country.
In pseudo-Soviet Russia Putin elects himself.
Stalin Junior in again. Oh, wait, he never really left did he. A dictator he is.
I had t throw up. This guy is a dictator, plain and simple.

Bear defecates in the woods.
Someday the USA MSM media are going to push what they say is a novel idea, and that they will claim is for our benefit.
It will be a Constitutional Amendment, just like they did in NYC with Mayor Bloomberg, and attempt to convince Americans that we need to have the ability to have our Presidents for life.
We can’t ever let it happen but they will organize and push it for one of their favorite sons. Be aware and be vigilant.
When dictators rig elections, dont they usually “adjust” the results to show them winning by 90 % or more ? just sayin...
