Vladimir Putin breaks silence as angry Russians burn down ballot boxes ahead of election

So it was Putin’s troops that voted to secede in Donetsk and Luhansk after the Euromaiden revolution?

You say that like you want us to believe those "elections" were free and fair. With occupying troops watching the polls? With occupying troops already ethnically cleansing the provinces by deporting native Ukrainians into "the Russian interior"? What a laugh that would be if it weren't so tragic.

This is the same old playbook Moscow used after WW2, where any opposition in Poland, or Bulgaria, or Romania, or Czechoslovakia was either imprisoned, expelled, or simply murdered until the masses voted as they were told to. The Allies were fooled until 1948. This was the reason NATO was formed in 1949.

And then of course there's the old Stalin jape that goes: "The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people who count the votes do."

I know you will deny it all, but the lurkers and new readers need to know how it was and still is with Russky Mir.

An excellent source book is "Post War" by Tony Judt.

BTW - Russkiy Mir means "Russian World". It is the driving philosophy behind Putin. Books I have started reading connect it with the Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger. Academic philosophical language is almost gibberish to this old engineer, so it's slow going, but it's obvious that the chief exponent today is one Aleksandr Dugin, widely known as "Putin's Brain". Bottom line is that Moscow should control all of Europe and the Middle East. Another main theme is that "The American Empire Must be Destroyed", which with the help of Russian-based hackers, agents provocateurs, and internet "influencers", (such those here on FR), they seem to have made a strong start on their way to doing.

Having spent time in East Ukraine, I can tell you from personal experience there is strong pro-Russian sentiment. The miracle growth of the Russian economy since the 90s is something East Ukrainian’s want to share in. Ukrainians also see the political and judicial stability of Russia as being absent from Ukraine’s kleptocracy. The illegal and unconstitutional Euromaiden Revolution was the last straw for these people, so they did what any illegally disenfranchised people should do…secede.

The British Globalist anti-Israel author, Tony Judt, seems to war against the 1944 Soviet Union as though it were today’s Russia. Speaking of anachronisms! This worn out canard is no more accurate than Israel being an anachronism. I am sorry that your engineering mind cannot understand these concepts. If I had time, I would teach your Aerospace Engineering if I thought you could grasp the concepts.
