Sadly Russia is ran like a cult. A 140 million people Jonestown with similar brainwashing methods, but supported by modern technology.
Yes, and there are cult members here, too, even on FReeRepublic who value Russian revanchists’ policies, Russian chauvinism, and Putinism more than law. They say it’s all because they oppose Obama, but that’s just too stupid to be true. You cannot favor freedom and support a foreign despot because you’re unhappy with the narcissistic statist in the White House who leaves office in less than two years. Real Americans never suck up to foreign dictators and have treasonous sympathies. Only really dumbed down conservatives could be tricked by a president for life using a few shallow sophistries that have a veneer of conservatism.
