My guess is it’s corrupt but nowhere near as degenerate as CNN, NBC, and the rest.

He is definitely in trouble. Stalin always polled 99% approval.

That seems like an unbiased observation to me.

Putin is also against the western values of homosexuality, transgender, atheism, educational dysfunction, non punishment for criminals etc etc

I'm sure he's working on it.

This is similar to the wartime bump in approval Putin got when he last invaded the Ukraine in 2014. Most people will rally during war, but Russians maybe more than most.

So far, the Russian public has received a very positive impression about how the war is going from their highly controlled media.

The reality however, is that things are much, much worse for Russia this time around. Word is bound to get out. eventually if the conflict drags on.

Success has a thousand fathers, but failure is an orphan.

Probably better than “independent” pollsters in DC in 2020.

The stupid leftists in the Biden admin and their neocon cohorts fail again. They drove Russians to Putin.

This was largely a sarcastic statement. Supposedly he was democratically elected, but who would ever run against him? My source is the M.A.S.H. episode where they were doing surgery and the loudspeaker announced the results of the last Soviet election.

I think Germans will sleep well knowing that they did controlled demolition on their own economy with these sanctions.

It’s all worth it in exchange for giving Putin the highest approval ratings ever and an epic windfall with $100 a barrel oil.

I’m going to go ahead and predict Putin will come begging on his knees to the Europeans to keep up the sanctions as long as possible

If I lived in Russia, I would give Putin a good approval rating too because I wouldn’t want to go to prison.

Putin’s popularity in Russia is genuine and has been for a long time. People in the West forget what a mess Russia was in the 90s. Putin got in and reduced crime, reduced unemployment, reduced poverty and increased Russian prestige in the wider world. He did so with minimal debt. It’s not a surprise he’s popular.

Approaching Kim Jung Un. When does Putin’s title change to Supreme Leader?

I don't know, in your Photoshop folder?

However, I do know where Hunter Biden's Laptop is.
