Fuck Putin. The Russian people do not deserve the hardships they're enduring due to his warmongering rn

Putin still enjoys widespread public support, and the vast majority of the Russian public supports both the explicit goals of the war as well as the implicit ones. This is a problem bigger than Putin, bigger than the oligarchs, and bigger than the current regime.

Sources?

Every Russian I've interacted with has expressed their distate for Putin.

This is a problem bigger than Putin, bigger than the oligarchs, and bigger than the current regime.

So could you explicitly point to what the problem is? Bc it seems to me that the oligarchs and Putin have been doing their best to brainwash and ensure that they remain in power, to the detriment of the Russian people.

This is all heresay but there were a few reporters over in Russia just asking random people in the street what they thought about the "Special Operation"; most of them answered that it was good that the Nazis were killed and that Ukraine should be brought back into the Motherland. Propaganda is one HELL of a drug.

Most of the Russians I have talked too over the past year also dislike the War and what Russians are doing there. But mind you these are people that no longer live IN Russia or people who left BECAUSE of the war. So there is that

Sent from "the land of the free" (probably). It's hard to detect Propaganda if you are it’s target.
