The point I'm making is that he is popular in Russia. Ergo, why wouldn't he get elected? And more specifically, his election result is exactly in line with the US-backed polling company prediction.

As for how he runs the country, whether there are lies, I'm not making a point on that.

We should question the original Western narratives about a stolen election when we can see the evidence of Putin's popularity. You can read articles in western media that affirm Putin is popular in Russia.

It's important to follow the laws of the land, otherwise there is damage to the system. Legal framework, electoral framework, political framework. So when answering your question about Putin, the electoral rules and legalities of Russia's system must be examined. Were they violated?

That is also a question on the US national agenda for Trump. It is important to consider his case in context of the system. And to compare his real estate dealings to others who deal in real estate. What was the severity and nature of the alleged crime? Are these kinds of behaviors common in the American political class?

Unfortunately they would quickly be replaced by their heirs who would continue to employ the same business people to manage their empires. We need to change the system at the root, not just chop off the top.
