As bad as I believe Putin to be, the alternatives for Russia may well be worse.
The communists are still powerful. The ethnic mix is toxic. The class mix is toxic.
Soon a Russian president is going to engage in severe brutality to repress rebellion. And preserve his ability to loot and pillage his neighbors.
And watch what happens in Chechnya when Kadyrov dies. He has been in Dubai since late December and hasn’t returned to Chechnya.
Russians like Putin. We don’t have to like him. Why do we think Russians need to have the current western brand of communism as opposed to the government they have now.
People always say Putin will kill or imprison those who oppose him, Western countries have done the same and are falsely prosecuting and convicting their opponents as we speak.
Familiar isn’t it?
Your post could be describing many countries right now, including what our own was becoming under leftist globalist control.
Surprise me how people can’t see it.
