Well. Putin is a human being after all, true. Perhaps he is just committing some mistakes and some people over-analyze what is going on, in order to claim he is still pretty much in control of all the situations going on in his personal war against the people of Ukraine. Still, I wonder how brainwashed the people of Russia actually is in order from many of them to accept as a unquestionable truth everything which goes out the Kremlin.
By the way, the situation in Venezuela is weirder and more complex than many people abroad could assume, we have suffered from the consequences of a couple of factions battling one another for the power of the presidency and yet, the United States does not care much about that man you mentioned, he played a role and now it seems Washington is going for a different strategy to deal with what is happening here.
Russia is very brainwashed, I encounter this every day and sometimes I don’t even have the strength to argue with such people. The problem is that it is not only the government that is to blame for what is happening, but the people themselves, who elected this government and who now tolerate it, because after all, not everyone is happy with Putin’s rule.
I am going to assume you are from Russia, then.
I have always had the impression an important percentage of the population in Russia is not happy with the rule of Vladimir Putin, in mind it is about 30-40%, but that is a raw estimate I get from the little geopolitical news I read some now and then. I would be interesting if you elaborated and gave us your impression on the percentage of people who genuinely like the government of Putin and what kind of ideas they harbor. Are they as anti-western was Putin seems to be or they do not believe completely the political speech of Putin and instead of that, they support him because other reasons, for example, how close Putin to the Russian Church is.
Also, I recall a survey which was done to a sample of the Russian population and they seem to be pretty much seeking to something similar to the Soviet Union, I am not sure if the youngest generation also has that Soviet dream of the cold war.
