Yeah, and the Soviets held “elections” too.

Are you suggesting they don’t?

Have their checking and/or saving accounts been locked/frozen?
Hmm.

What would the US do if say Iran was in the streets calling for America to free it from the system of Ayatollahs? Answer is, NOT AN EFFIN’ THING. The reason is, that was a true call for help, this one in Russia is agitprop stirred up by the West.

You mean like the Green Revolution that Obama ignored?

Have you seen the one of the car trying to get into Finland where they’ve taken the Zs off the windows and it’s the only part of the car that doesn’t need a wash?

Three ‘Stans have now issued instructions to their menfolk to disregard any call-up from Russia.

So, the ‘Stans won’t play ball, those catching the flights won’t play ball, the ones crossing into Finland won’t, and the son of a prominent Putin lackey got pranked by someone pretending to be from the local call-up office and went a bit hysterical before effectively saying “My daddy will sort this out!”

At this rate, Putin will be unable to do much better than mobilise village idiots from the central caucasus because no bugger else will be stupid enough to sign up.

Thanks for providing a link to a weak, soy boy, walking around the street with a phone pointed toward him. Wow! That was amazing.

“Thermonuclear war, all to cover up the DS bank for the world in Ukraine/EU. That is what is possible here.”

And that’s all you’ve got. Fears of what might happen to justify your cowardice in ignoring what actually has happened.

“Yes, dozens of people were seen protesting - in a city of 13 MILLION”

It’s a bit more impressive when you understand that they are subject to imprisonment for protesting.

Not quite, since that was a case of widespread fraud and not a system fully rigged from top to bottom.

Sounds pretty top-to-bottom to me and tens of millions of others.

They are going to send Country Joe and the Mish, plus special guest Crosby, Weed, Pills & Hash over there for a protest speech/concert.

What If They Gave A War And Nobody Came? Hm??

Well, what is sounds like to you doesn’t change reality.

Yes, they do hold elections...and there is even more than one candidate.

Either way. Reality isn’t a popularity contest, so it doesn’t matter how many people believe in something that is delusional.

“there is even more than one candidate”

Just only one that has a chance of winning.

So now it’s “Delusional”?

Well spoken RINO disguising oneself as a patriotic American conservative.
