Do you think these people voted for Putin? This is the equivalent of pretending random Americans deserve high gas prices because they voted for 1 of 2 parties who gave Israel unlimited support.
Which like they do, but because we built a country around cars instead of people, and export oil that could be used domesticly because it benefits oil companies at the expense of Americans, not because we have a political system that doesn’t give us a meaningful choice.
Why would you believe polling out of Russia? Seems folks have a lot of incentive to lie. I’m sure he has plenty of brain dead supporters, but we know how that goes.
None of the ones I’ve met liked him, but I’ve only met ones who fled Russia.
Why do you suppose Russians might support him in 2026? In the 2000s/2010s, its understandable given how bad the 90s were, but now living standards are getting worse again.
Because I’ve been close friends with Russians who left Russia as adults and they absolutely love Putin for “standing up” to the west. Whatever that means.
And polls repeatedly show 90% or Russians support him. For “standing up” to the west.
Why would I doubt polls and the evidence of my own eyes and the sincerely held beliefs of people I’ve talked to?

Yes. 90% of Russians approve of Putin. I don’t doubt they all voted for him.

I met a Russian in China. Said his opinion: Ukraine should be part of Russia. Strong, fit, young lad.
He’s still in China enjoying the good life.
