Target part of a broader cyber-attack, Russian hackers allegedly involved
I’m not interested in derailing this thread, which is about Ukraine, but I have to ask what is it about Putin’s regime that you find so appealing? I honestly don’t see how he is that much different than a dictator. Our president may have some immoral or objectionable policies, but at least he is democratically elected and will not cling to power after his term is up.
I thought the Russian’s elected their president and Putin was elected each term, he got 63% of the votes out of 5 candidates in 2012? I am not into politics at all, as IMO experience it never makes any odds, who is in power, as nothing ever changes. I do not see anything Putin is doing at present, in relation to the Ukraine, being anything different than any other country would do, UK/USA/EU if any of their citizens were situated in an unstable neighbouring region. For the West to make any comment as to what Putin can or cannot do, I find laughable after they all jumped on board in numerous wars in regions/countries that had absolutely nothing to do with them. The Syrian conflict being one of the first to be stopped, through the help of Russia and China and the Pope’s vigil for peace, that was not attacked and hit as the other countries were.
Pepipop, his election was rigged. You may be interested in reading this article:
But again on whose say so? The West’s, the USA and the EU? I don’t know if it was rigged, possibly the ones who were protesting voted for one of the other candidates - who really knows. I noted several comments to the article e.g.:
Read the articles I linked to, they will answer your question.
He’s not respecting the sovereignty of the people of Ukraine, for one thing. He wants the Ukrainian leader to do what is in Russia’s interest, not necessarily the interest of Ukraine. I think he sees them as “belonging” to Russia historically, which is wrong in my opinion as it’s an independent country.
For example, today I saw a programme regarding the presidency in the USA, on TV. To do with Yale graduates and the skull and bones secret society, from which 3 presidents were elected. It also went on to say members of this club always obtained prominent positions of power around the USA, so the ‘democratic’ vote in any country could be said to be fixed in some way or another.
And like all human beings they like a stable economic order and the perception that things are getting better for them materially. I believe that before Putin came to power the Russian economy was in a continuous free-fall. Many are no doubt also nostalgic for the time when Russia as the other superpower exercised unprecedented power on the global stage. I can understand that too.
I can understand it too. The Czars also brought a “normalcy” to Russia in their day as well. And it was fine for everyone but those who the Czars didn’t like. Same with most autocratic countries.
The United States is far more autocratic than Putin’s Russia.
Those are false accusations against Putin and have no basis in fact.
I thought Sodom was destroyed a long time ago. Who are these Sodomites you are referring to? Why isn’t anybody concerned about the Gomorrahites (or however you spell it)? Maybe they were simply comminting heterosexual sins so they weren’t that big of a deal.
