Russians are responsible for their leaders

I watch american politics with great interests to see if their will overthrow their own tyrant. That would be interesting though I am not sure if good for the rest of the world.

Nobody can know for certain ahead of time if someone they are voting for will turn authoritarian or not after they are in power.

You realize that russian govenment was overwhelmingly re-elected each time since inception of russian federation in 1991, and invaded neighbours regularly with land grabs since 94?

Russia invaded their neighbors forever, not just since 94.

America invades everywhere, Russia only neighbors, that's what you learn in school.

Rollout the whataboutism!

russian federation was created in 1991.

Since then russia occupies entirety of Ichkeria, parts of Moldova, parts of Georgia, and parts of Ukraine

What lang grabs does US got since 91?

If you want to go before, russian occupation called 'ussr' and 'russian empire' caused pretty much unparalleled suffering and extinsions of peoples. But also, we are talking about current events. Past brutality is poor justification of current actions

I think the same could be said for North Korea, but that doesn't mean they're voting honestly.

[Svoka]

Not even close.
