Dude, mainstream western media openly admits that Putin has mass popular support in Russia, but you keep on doing your copes I guess. Nobody is talking about Putin being any sort of hero here. What’s being said is that there’s no evidence to suggest that elections in Russia need rigging. Meanwhile, the idea that Russia is trying to replace the US as the global hegemon is beyond laughable.
you should let CNN know
But Putin undoubtedly has reaped the rewards of a political landscape tilted dramatically in his favor. The Levada Center, a non-governmental polling organization, consistently reports Putin’s approval rating at over 80% – an eye-popping figure virtually unknown among Western politicians, and a substantial increase on the three-year period before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

For sure, these things always take on a life of their own and they’re impossible to control.
It might bring about the collapse of the empire which would be a good thing for the world.
I don’t think it’s just Ukraine actually. Here’s my take on the whole thing https://dialecticaldispatches.substack.com/p/the-us-pivot-to-asia-and-europes
Given that the US put tariffs on Chinese panels and nobody else makes them in any serious volumes, what the public wants doesn’t really matter.
Again, there is zero chance of Russia attacking US carriers in the ocean. Also, from Russian perspective it would be far preferable for the US to get embroiled in their own version of SMO in Latin America for years to come.
I expect there’s going to be a severe backlash against the west in Ukraine when the war is over and they realize they’ve just been cynically used as cannon fodder to right Russia.
I still have no idea what this dependence on Russia you keep talking about would be. Russia isn’t trying to turn Venezuela into what US did to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia is already ending the illusions of the US power projection by defeating NATO in Ukraine.
Finally, the US doesn’t need reasons to start wars. The war in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, were all unprovoked. That’s just to name a few. The attacks the US is doing on Venezuela as we speak are unprovoked. There was no reason to start a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine either. Yet here we are.
A nuclear powered torpedo having effectively an unlimited range could just get there by ocean without needing to be ferried by plane. I’m also not sure how Venezuela defeating the Burger Reich would create dependence on Russia either. Seems to me that if Russia sank a US carrier group that would be the start of WW3, so it’s obvious that Russia wouldn’t do something that overt.
Right, Russia ferried their nuclear powered torpedo to Venezuela by plane. That totally makes sense. A far more likely scenario is that Russia will provide Venezuela with AD that can shoot down F35s which would utterly humiliate the US.
CNN sounds a bit salty that DPRK doesn’t give a fuck about the Burger Reich 😆
at least you know thy self
I primarily use Firefox
in what way?
Actually, a fun fact is that by 2023 more Ukrainians left to Russia than any other country. https://unric.org/en/ukraine-over-6-million-refugees-spread-across-europe/
indeed
Love how you refer to me stating basic facts as gaslighting. Take care.
