    but that’s democracy for you.

    Congrats, you won the internet award of the day for making Putin spit out his vodka this morning.

      I agree Putin is a bastard, like any great man in power, though I think he’s not behind everything. It’s like saying the Nazis won because of French or American influence to destabilise the Weimar republic. Certainly, efforts were made to destabilise competing nations, but only focusing on that ignores the crises that to this day continue to bring forward reactionary sentiment. Sweden for example has high rates of unemployment.
