"The Kremlin not only controls television in Russia, it manages the entire political system, elections included.
President Putin faces no serious challenge as he seeks a fifth term in office. His most vocal critics have either fled into exile or been jailed at home. Mr Navalny, his fiercest opponent, is dead.
But the Kremlin likes to boast that Russia has the 'best democracy' in the world. So, along with Mr Putin on the ballot are three officially authorised challengers from Russia's Kremlin-friendly parliament."
Same with Biden. We are going to have another sham election here.
While a cancelled election in Ukraine prevents Ukrainians from ousting Zelenskyy.
Can you please provide a link to a post where someone here said anything even resembling this?
So, I guess it’s true that you like the BBC...
To which I ask, what right do we have to criticize another country’s elections?
Is posting articles critical of Russisn elections a way of making yourself feel better about American elections?
I would prioritize my life over running for President in Russia.
I don’t care
Tell our state department guys “better luck next color revolution”.
From 1981 to 2009 we either had a Bush or a Clinton in the WH as President or Vice President. And in 2008 we had a Clinton running for President. And in 2016 a Clinton as the Dem candidate for President with another Bush (Jeb) running for the nomination.
Trump just received his third consecutive nomination to run for the Presidency against Biden who is running for re-election and who served as VP from 2009 to 2017. Biden received allegedly a record 81 million votes while campaigning from his basement.
People who live in glass houses….
You live unfree in a country that has suffered a coup and you car about Russias problems. Get a clue.
More western propaganda.
But there are those here on FR who laud Moscow as a beacon of freedom compared to the West.

For the most part they are all Russians - many have admitted it, others by slips of language, facts and so forth.
ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!!
(((PING!)))
Join and laugh at the humor Zeepers provide!!
Putins approval ratings are quite high per USA pollsters
He doesn’t have to cheat at our 2020 levels by any stretch
Great news. More heartburn for the globalists.
But there are those here on FR who laud Moscow as a beacon of freedom compared to the West.
********
Nowadays, the West is not a beacon of freedom. Those Freepers are rightfully more worried about our own tyrants than Russia’s. At least the Russian one is not pushing puberty blockers, destructive green ideology, rampant lawlessness, and the disappearance of national borders.
I don't a damn what it takes to make Zeeper scum care more about OUR RIGGED ELECTIONS and OUR POLITICAL PRISONERS more than whatever their fantasies are about what is happening in Russia.
The American Last crowd and their representatives within the Republican party must be exterminated.

Ukraine’s Manpower Crisis: No Amount of Money or Aid Can Solve It
Mar 13, 2024
- Ukraine is suffering from a growing military manpower crisis in addition to a lack of arms and ammunition;
- Trained military manpower takes up to half a year to produce, new brigade-sized units can take up to 30 months to stand up;
- Ukraine and its Western sponsors simply cannot produce trained military manpower faster than Russia is removing it from the battlefield;
- This leaves the collective West with the choice of either accepting it has lost its proxy war with Russia, or attempting to intervene more directly;
