The Russian people, for the most part, are educated enough to know that socialism is not good (70 plus year of oppression can do that), and when they see the USA going down that dark road, they see it as their moral obligation to support those in this country that espouse free market ideas over socialism (also, the USA is getting a little taste of what it's like when outside forces try to influence election outcomes...) No country is flawless, and unfortunately, there are still many people out there who view the world through that Marxist lens of a struggle between oppressors and the oppressed. I believe Putin is aware that many agents of the former Soviet Union and their students are still very actively pursuing the folly and evil that is Marxism, but can only do so much to stop them.
You're a Russian bot, right!?? My first one I think! If I'm right then what you've said makes perfect sense. A shill, maybe?
Ok. Putin orchestrated the election interference, not the well-educated, morally-obligated, kind-hearted masses.
His objective was and remains clear. He wants to disrupt or destroy democracies around the globe and expand the influence of the Russian empire. He's got Iran in his pocket, along with Turkey and Syria. He's on a roll.
He's trying to flip all of them away from the United States, away from the West and into the Russian orbit, not save us from Marxism. This guy's a lot of things but not the world's savior.
Putin purportedly has an 80% approval rating in Russia .They love him and probably should.
Especially the wealthy. Not the 15% that live in poverty.
No other country has seen the creation of millionaires and billionaires like Russia.
But Russia is run just like it was under Stalin, with an iron fist.
And contrary to what you've said, the class disparity in Russia is wider than any other country in the world. And oppression? It never left. Class struggle? Research class division in Russia. You're a bot, right?
Your 'warning' that America is headed down a dark evil road is stolen from Dostoevsky's book Demons, right?
Putin is the grandmaster now. And probably a genius (You can use that)
He is purportedly worth 500 billion. So it's laughable that you think that he has anyone's (!) best interests in mind. Cause he cares only about himself and his inner circle.
The bot thing: if you hadn't mentioned how Americans were getting a taste of our own medicine, I'd have thought, oh, ok, this is just weird!? But this post of yours reads like Russian propaganda.
