We in the USA are fortunate enough to have just edged by a president would would be happy to be very much like Russia. It's disturbing that about 40% of voters approve. Russians haven't had the opportunity to decide who their president is as the USA has. Let's hope it stays that way.How, in a thread that has Putin as a subject, can you claim the American Right is totalitarian? Yes, some are, but they themselves aren't. Try talking to some Russians who lost their job due to being against this war what a totalitarian regime is actually like.
Rights are harder to attain than lose. Citizens everywhere need to understand that if leaders don't value and respect broad freedoms and liberties (which means compromises in person freedom, but also expansion in certain liberties) then the future is destined for conflict (see Jan 6 as an example).
