"You're telling me we're sending $100 billion to a country that's not going to have elections"
“We’re sending $100 billion to a country that now has a president for life?”
"Does anyone remember the American Civil War? Where 600,000 people died and yet we didn't miss an election?"

“Why is it cool RasPutin is dictator for three decades?”
Not cool, but it is what it is. The only thing I care about is how much money we’re spending. Rumble or X had Trump’s military advisor interviewed by Tucker. He said we’ve sent so many of our weapons to the Ukes, we can’t defend ourselves.
This post is not about the money.
I was just pointing out the double standard about “president for life” worthy on any democrat if leftist double standard.
“Russia doesn’t want Ukraine to join NATO.”
If the Russians weren’t such c$nts the Ukrainians wouldn’t need to join NATO. Funny how that works.
Looks like you would get tired of being on the losing side!
Like supporting the queer clown and his Nazi collaborators, as when they applauded same in Canada and slaughtered 6,000,000 Jews. I suppose you will deny that happened, too.
Yes, that queer clown.
I get it. Your just a loser at heart.
Russian Presidential Terms are for four years, same as ours. He's in his fourth Presidential term. There was a break in his Presidential terms between 2008–2012, when he served his Second Premiership. He's hardly been "leader" for decades. He's held different public offices during the years he's been involved in Russian politics. He's no different than McCain, Feinswine, McConnell, etc., who have taken an elected position, and turned it into a lifetime career. All three of those a-holes, and plenty more Congressional members have been in office far longer than Putin has been. Obama's on his third Presidential term.
Yes , you’re right, Putin’s a career politician like Feinstein, McConnell et al. Like FDR.
George Washington could have been president for life, or even King. He knew not too.
Only FDR broke with Washington’s example.
We put in two term limit after that.
Putin faced term limit so his puppet was official president, then did away with term limits to be president for life.
Like all career politicians Putin has become unimaginably wealthy, perhaps being the wealthiest man on Earth.
He makes even Feinstein or Clintons look like pikers when it comes to career politicians getting wealthy off graft.
Presidential term limits for Russia, are set by the Russian Constitution, like they are in the U.S. Consitution. Putin recommended a public referendum to change the number of Presidential terms that can be served in Russia. It was passed by a national vote in 2020. The people of Russia voted to change their country's Presidential term limits, and exempt Putin from presidential term limits until 2036. But of course, there's no guarantee that there wasn't any ballot fraud during that 2020 public vote, which is no different than what goes on here.
In the U.S., Democrats maliciously impeach Republican Presidents to end their term of office, or steal elections, but I'm sure that crap goes on in Russia too, and in plenty of other countries around the globe. What I haven't seen much of in other countries is the opposing political party using law fare to bankrupt, and take down their opposition, as it is used in this country.
