You mean like imprisoning journalists, having opponents of the regime killed, rewriting the constitution to retain power? Fake terrorist attacks to justify action against groups considered to be outside, infiltrate the church with government agents? Invade other countries on flimsy pretexts? I think all that stuff is pretty totalitarian.
Most of what you’re spouting are allegations by his enemies, which you buy with no personal knowledge or evidence. As for invasions, Russia has troops in fewer countries than we do. We’ve invaded more countries than Russia over the past 15 years.
Our media is very anti Russia because Russia is anti- gay crap, including outlawing gay adoptions. Our media is anti Christiantoo, so they’re going to hate a country that calls itself officially Christian. And there are s lot of drones like you who believe whatever our media tells them
And by the way, you still didn’t answer how somebody can call a govt with low taxes ‘totalitarian’. That’s simply stupidity
