What you have posted is accurate, largely, but that is not the point.

I repeatedly see post here that talk about putin as a president, free and fairly elected….., and that simply is not true

Our elections have become a sham, but “elections “ in Russia are and have been complete sham for decades.

If there was no difference then xiden would not have been halted from giving aid to Ukraine for months.

If Putin wants something it will happen, his Duma has zero power

The only restraint on putins power is his understanding of history(as twisted as it is) and the number of times Russian dictators have been eventually deposed. Which is why “internal security” size and budget rival defense spending.
