Putin has not managed to improve the Russian economy in 20 years. Russia still has only raw materials to offer, nothing else. If one includes purchasing power, the Russians have an income of $28,000 per capita per year. That makes them poorer than the Romanians, Bulgarians and Turks.
Why do Russians still stand by Putin?
Propaganda. Also lives severely improved since 90s which majority of russians attributing to Putin, while in reality it was all thanks to oil and despite Putin's best effort to ruin our economy multiple times thanks to his imperialism. This year he finally succeeded and we are dead as country.
they are untermensch
Stop the Ukraine Genocide.
Who needs enemies with allies like us, probably better to divorce from Europe in the short term and stick to China.
Russians have selection bias. Whoever strong armed himself into being the leader must be the best leader.
They are plagued by this ever since the commies strong armed themselves into power.
Before that they had Tzars. Basically they are supposed to evolve to choose their leaders but that has no culture just like we don't have that kind of culture here.
Democracy from the western senses can only work in cultures where it evolved naturally from how you conducted politics during most of your time as a culture.
>trust me China wants the best for us, I can't see how being totally dependent on China will backfire in any way
Do Russians reall?
Because he's a genious, screenshot that bitch
Because I know how bad western politicans are
russians are stupid.
Why Russians still think Imperialism in 21st century is still viable? are you regressing?
Everyone is alone in modern society. Small societies are dead, people are estranged from their families, those who stay in families can't even trust them. Noone can trust anyone. Anyone could be a snitch. Nobody will talk about revolution. It's too dangerous.
This is the industrial society and it's future.
China is reliable and their leadership doesn't change every 4 years. And Russia is a resource wonderland across their border, while they're a manufacturing giant, it's a good match. Also better to snatch them up before US does an alliance with Russia to contain them. Mearsheimer said pushing Russia into China would be a big mistake for the US, let's see if he's right.
i think he will be overthrown after the war. majority of russians hate him by now, but they don't want to lose the war.
Coz he is right? 8 years of war is 2 much. We need to end it hard war.
>Putin has not managed to improve the Russian economy in 20 years.
Incorrect, he did a minimal effort and that's good enough for an average Russian.
Who cares about some dunce in Omsk, when you can showcase LE EPIC GLASS DILDO?
maybe he should stop being a bad political loser who gets butthurt when outmaneuvered
Too much legacy related to WW2
Why do westerners still believe MSM is telling them the truth?
>Why do Russians still stand by Putin?
A large part of the Russian population is brainwashed. There are a few well informed and intelligent Russians out there but they are too few to quell the stupidity of the vatnik NPC masses.
>inb4 you're just a NATO glownigger
No, i am simply intelligent enough to realize that neither the USA and Russia bombing the middle east nor Russia bombing Ukraine is good for Europe, the EU, Bulgaria or me personally.
better question is when and why did russians start believing state propaganda which has been lying to them since even before ww2 and never stopped
>Germany
>does not understand Russia and Russians
user, West is retarded if they think that sanctions do not unite Russia against West.
Because he's right about everything.
It will be one-sided, Russia destroyed itself, or rather Putin did it for them. Now they HAVE to deal with China. CHina will squeeze every penny out of them, no competitive market anymore, Don't want to sell us for peanuts prices gweilo? ha-ha go sell them to EU/US then oh wait... Bend over gweilo big Dragon is rising.
Imperialism was never viable.
Not much different in the west, only the real rulers hide their hand better. If you think voting matters you're greatly deluded. The core policies will never be touched, politicians only turn around the few policies that have no real value for the lobbies behind them such as fagg rights or petty drug dealers etc. They can't have any meaningful impact at all.
It's a good match for China, whom we will be forced to cooperate with or through and now that ruble is shot they can dictate their conditions.
Mind you, they were doing that long before, you can see our border special economic zones.
It doesn't matter anymore.
It feels like China orchestrates the West in their doings.
Ukraine shall win!
I think this is questionable that China will squeeze them dry, they want more consoomers and would love to flood Russia with made in China products. They have big plans together like the Northern Sea route.
bro, you dont know shit. basically all russian youth is liberal and hates putin. russkies just dont want to fuck up their country into civil war, cause they know putin won't leave without blood and it will be like kazakhstan but much worse
Because all russians love being slaves to strongmen dictators. They are a slave people that will always stand behind their current dictator 100% and every single russian is ready to die for Putin.
That is why there has been zero riots or protest against Putin and his war, he is still immensly popular
Whoever rebels gets a nice permanent vacation in the frozen gulags.
No food, no sex, you probably can't masturbate there even.
>basically all russian youth is liberal
Not true in the slightest and holding a healthy skepticism for "ex"-KGB glowies trained in ideological subversion doesn't make you a liberal.
Feeling cute, might visit
