But with discovery & destruction of of 300,000 pre-voted referendum ballots yesterday & 100,000 today, referendum (Putin) has failed.
Even though polls were giving away multiple ballots to compensate referendum STILL failed! Putin does NOT have support of the people! THAT is why he requested NO to going ahead with referendum!
How generous of Vladi to hold off on the invasion. “It might not be necessary,” he thinks.
” - - - as Russia and the West find themselves as before, on opposite sides of the political fence. - - - “
Really?
* Karl Marx believed in the the redistribution of wealth as do both Putin and Obama.
* Both Russia and the Democrat’s Obama got their butts kicked in Afghanistan.
* The Syrian Conflict was jointly resolved by Putin and Obama. Well, at least to the satisfaction of the New York Times, and Democrat Intellectual Nancy Pelosi.
Adding it all up, Putin and Obama are closer than ever!
Maybe Putin will even get the Nobel Peace Prize, just like his Commie bff Obama did?!
"on the strength of their results" -- "On the basis of how many rigged ballots and intimidated Ukrainians."
What the RF President's decision will be "is difficult to forecast", Peskov added. -- "They found a great many of our pre-printed ballots, so we're not sure how many ballot boxes we were able to stuff as of yet."
Asked by the newspaper whether Putin's attitude would be influenced by the fact that he himself had asked the federalization supporters to postpone the referendum until a later date, the presidential press secretary pointed out as follows: "Not asked but made such a recommendation".
-- "Considering the fact that anyone with a brain more complex than a mollusk knew that Putin was lying when he claimed not to want the referendum, your question is surprisingly stupid."
"However, it was difficult to heed the recommendation, even considering the RF President's prestige." -- "Especially when he had so many thugs with machine guns already in the country."
Taking into account the real combat actions, the residents (there) had to act according to their own plan and proceeding from the actual situation," Peskov said. -- "We had so many false flag propaganda operations going, with legendary Russian "efficiency" that even we weren't sure what was going on most of the time. The main thing is our commandos killed and intimidated lots of Ukrainians."
Peskov described reproaches levelled at Russia by the USA and the EU as an "absolute folly". -- "Because we've never respected moral authority or democratic institutions at any time in the last thousand years. Why did they think we'd start now?"
"Why could not the West prevent the use of armoured personnel carriers in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk and avoid the gunning down of civilians?" -- "Our spetsnaz were well disguised, were they not?"
They did not use their influence and they do not give a hang while Russia is blamed for everything," he emphasized. -- "As usual, Russia gets blamed for the damage Russia has caused. It is injustice."
