Vote count is never a problem - it who is counting them that seems to be the issueYes it was 76% last time. My bad. He got 63% in 2012 though. But as I said the vote count is not the problem. The reason for such results is Kremlins control over oil revenues and main TV channels which allows them to promote conservative agenda.
America seems to have caught the same disease
Trump was inward looking America first - did not start any wars (yet) - and pulled a lot of troops back to the USA - tried to build a wall to keep drugs and Mexicans out (although it's good for a holiday this time of year @riderboy ) - not shot down any civilian airlinersBut whats the difference? No matter who Americans vote for their President is still going to be free market globalist in Economics and democracy expantionist in foreign policy. So what is the choice?
Not seen him invade Ukraine or go to a civil war area to support a thoroughly nasty regime (Syria)
Done more for peace in the ME than I thought I would ever see in my lifetime
Can't see that as expansionist - to be honest he has not done much apart from get Americans back to work and stimulate their economy
What has done him is COVID
I still like Dicktatorship - but I can go with Conservative Demonocracy if you likeConservative democracy.
