Everyone in Russia is treated like Putin's puppets.
Some quite willingly, it would appear.
How long has he been in power now?
This only happens in de facto dictatorships.
Oh, again I see Western propaganda narratives.
The sooner you return to modern reality, the faster you will take a more or less worthy place in the future world order.
He also was cheering during the Wagner situation. Thought for sure Wagner would cause a coup and destabilize Russia in massive riots and protests lol
When that failed and fizzled out within hours, it’s back to “Everyone in Russia is treated like Putin's puppets.” now.
lol
There is no real opposition to Putin in Russia, simply because the overwhelming number of Russians support him. This is reality. Western propaganda dreams are just dreams.
Personally, I was very worried during Wagner’s campaign against Moscow. I called all my friends in Moscow and asked why they weren’t being destroyed? At the same time, I understood that these people were heroes, they fought honestly for Russia. But mutiny during war requires a tough response. This is definitely always and everywhere.
But Putin acted much wiser and found a way out of the situation. I and people like me were very pleased.

That wasn't my answer.
But this was yours:
"Don't try to look dumber than you really are."
Was that smart?

Not well received here in the UK, either.
Especially in Salisbury.
