you got it backward........
Putin has 80% support in Russia
Putin has 80% support in Russia
What does that have to do with Ukraine? Putin is figuring out now that E. Ukraine is not Russia. He isn’t superman and his plan in falling apart.
There is no genuine popular uprising in E. Ukraine. Had their been the weak Kiev Junta would have been easily ejected. They don’t even have motor oil or food for their army. This should be a simple task to remove the central authorities. That it hasn’t happened shows that what we a seeing is an astroturfed uprising performed by Russian agents.
The Kremlin has near complete control over the media and is even passing tighter laws on internet bloggers, to silence them the way the Chicoms silence their people. During the last election, voter apathy in Russia was extreme, and there is evidence of extensive voter fraud in favor of Putin. Hence why Alex Jones and other Kremlin tools were accusing the election monitors of being part of a NWO plot. They want everyone to think that Putin has 100 percent support.
I seriously doubt that 80 percent of the Russian people support an individual who routinely has his opponents in Russian media, government, or dissident movements, beaten and murdered.
