He maintains that he was democratically elected, and that is why he deserves to rule.What does /pol/ have to say about that?
>>532709255Test
I say he keeps getting elected by the Russian population, whereas Zelensky has canceled all elections in perpetuity while claiming to be a democracy.
>>532709255putin is right, he was democratically elected by jews to be their personal fuckboi
>>532709255Democracy is fake and gay, and so is the pedo faggot Jewtin.
>>532709406He keeps getting elected because he kills all the opposition and most Russians are too scared to say anything about it.https://youtu.be/mKBdG1X8DI8
>>532709255Since 2003 elections in Russia statical anomlaities in vote counts clearly indicate fraud. Doesn't matter how Russians vote. Putin will count their voted in his favor (very secret operations KGB of him)
>>532709605It doesn't matter much, vote count is what seals the deal.
>>532709255Our Prime Minister usually rules for a lifetime while the democratically elected jeet president is just a diversity hired stooge. Russia is basically that but in reverse.It works out.
>>532709389Still hohol
>>532709255Even fucking Iran, the "terrorist theocracy" has democratic elections, while Ukraine doesn't. The sheer hypocrisy of the West, it just beggars belief. It's just beyond words
>>532710153>t. Hosseini Khamenei
>>532710254When was Ukraine's last election?
>>532709255He was elected fairly and is a good president, and there is no doubt about that. From his very first election, the only thing that changed in the voting pattern was that communists gradually began to vote for him. But there was definitely some foul play involved in securing an absolute majority in parliament.Otherwise, I can believe that he genuinely believes in democracy and/or this country. He has done a great deal to ensure that many political processes are transparent, even if they literally show how he does whatever he wants bypassing all rules. All of Navalny’s “investigations” are basically just a retelling of information from open sources that the government itself has made publicly availableBut we’ll see, if that’s the case, there will be massive political changes here once the war is over, and he’ll most likely not be running in the next election.
>>532709255You live in a bubbleQueer woke City folk don't make up the majority anywhere in the world
>>532710810>can believe that he genuinely believes in democracy and/or this country.Putin banned 4chan for Russians, schizo.
>>532710810He's just a nationalist, and all democracies are corrupt. Democracy in general is just a puppet show to give the public the veneer of having control over their country. But you can take one look at the USA and realize this isn't true. Elections mean nothing. Might as well have someone at the helm who actually cares about your nation/country, since elections are theater anyway. I'm not really sure America can even produce a nationalist president after the orange man debacle.
>>532709406>elections>russia
>>532710153Isn't iran explicitly and self-admittedly ruled by the mullahs and the elections are basically the equivalent of a poll or municipal election?
>>532709406>he keeps getting elected by the Russian population,full support saargo back to sleep
>>532711207>He's just a nationalistHe is emperialist who is promoting infinite immigrants to Russia. He doesn't care about Russian nationality, for him all people are just numbers in record books.
>>532711280He is just pic
>>532709255
>>532711096>4chan>good for a countrylet's just ignore that most of the site is either peak degenerate cartoon porn, nigger porn, gay porn, a pedo grooming board worse than any discord, or consoooming boards for cartoons, jewish media, manchild gooner casino apps and last but not least, a literal glownigger psyop dissemination board (you're on it)
>>532711096how is this anon posting? it isnt a meme flag >>532710810
The way democracy works is that whoever controls the media tells everyone that "polls show 75% of people want X" and then X wins the election because everyone thinks it's what everyone else wants. Or something like that. Basically democracy is a horrible form of government where some random corporation or foreign government can seize control of your society as long as they trick the masses, which is easy if you have lots of money.
>>532711943bibery laws were never strengthened enough. what we see today is the end result of political systems refusing the police themselves
>>532711943I wonder why all the third worlders want to immigrate to western democracies instead of moving to Russia?
>>532711702Then why do you come here, schizo? I hope Putin will ban 4chan (and rest of the internet) for you too.
>>532709255Democracy is the most idiotic system in the world which end up with chosing the most incompetent idiots as ruling class. So he can brag about it, but it is like bragging about being king of down syndrome retards.
>>532711207>just a nationalistyes thats why 1000 russians die in ukraine per day, because putin loves russians (and they are better off dead)
>>532713141better hope you're not embarrassed of your flag one day, cuck
>>532712838Name one western "democracy".Stupid fucking troon
>>532709255Its true. Even with western CIA meddling and cheating he got 94% of all the voted, real number is 99% when you account for CIA hacking.All russian support Putin 100%All russians are ready to fight and die for Putin
>>532713805Again why do come to the site that you consider bad?GTFO to Facebook or reddit or whatever.
>>532713955YesIt's common when a country is surrounded by a coalition of 38 nations whole sole existence is based on thier destruction to unite under a male leader to defend themselves.Its human nature
>>532709255I honestly don't care, in truth nearly all modern countries are oligarchies, democracy is a word for rubes.
>>532714213to make you seethe, cuck
An interesting variety of replies thus far.Follow-up:Let's assume that what Putin says is true, that Russia is democratic and this is a good thing and that he is the democratically elected president. What then do you who typically decry democracy on this board (particularly those of you who really like Putin) have to say about that? Is democracy a bad thing in this case?
>>532710359>just host elections when half of your population is either MIA or exiled and the government barely works so Russia cries and whines about the elections not being fair and using the elections as an excuse to keep bombing civilians when their puppet candidate losesOy vey, you should work for the Israelis.
>>532716785Ukraines population has been fleeing for decades you retarded faggot. Especially since 2014. Not an arguement.
>>532715975Yes Russians are the purest democratic people on earth. They overthrew corrupt governments TWICE in the last 35 years. Ukraine is the most corrupt government on earth, just look at the criminals surrounding Zelensky. Poroshenko was so corrupt he is now on Kiev's kill list, proving seperatists were correct in choosing a new government for themselves.
>>532710153>Ukraine doesn't have democratic electionsare you lying pidor at it again?
>>532718089Sure, the moment they voted in a non-approved direction your CIA did a colour revolution. It's an illusion of democracy
>>532718484>muh corrupt russian puppet got ousted by HIS OWN PARTY, together with the people and the oppositionYanukovych's own Party of Regions, which was in the majority in the Ukrainian parliament in 2014, voted to oust him, pidor.
>>532718842>YanukovychElected as president of Ukraine and also Ukraine's most popular president of all time.Cope and seethe, tranny.
>>532718842>Yanukovych's own Party of Regions, which was in the majority in the Ukrainian parliament in 2014, voted to oust him, pidor.Funny how you left out the part how people were shooting at him as he fled the country. Nobody denies it was a coup, faggot shill.
>>532718983>people were shooting at him as he fled the countryLMAO, he was literally whisked away by pootin's special forces to Rstov, russian federation, on a helicopter full of his millions $ in cash and valuables. Somehow he had the time to pack his paintings, suitcases of cash and gold, "while under fire." This was all a part of the FSB plan to remove him from Ukraine to legitimize him completely in order to invade Crimea and Donbas. Yanukovych could've easily stayed in Ukraine and set up his alternative government in Donetsk, Luhansk or Kharkiv, cities where he had his base of support, but this was not a part of pootin's plan to start the invasion of Ukraine.
>>532718983>>532719559>part of the FSB plan to remove him from Ukraine to DE-LEGITIMIZE him completely in order to invade Crimea and Donbas.
>>532709255but of course, not his fault all his political opponents are clumsy and falling out of windows or stumbling on poisonous needles
>>532709255He's a good president>>532709611I guess Trump also cheated because the polls gave Hilldawg an easy victory
>>532709255Everybody knows Russian elections have been rigged for decades. The only time a candidate had a chance they locked him up and poisoned him.
>>532719559So your arguement is Russians were shooting at themselves?Oy vey those crazy Russians, right?
>>532720200So then why does Russia have zero recruiting issues and Ukraine kidnaps 90% of thier troops off the street and force them to fight at gunpoint?How come ukraine has mines at the border to keep men from escaping?
>>532720627russia pays the equivalent of million dollarinos (in rubles) after death, to the poorest muslims that live on the outskirts of villages without toilets, on the underdeveloped areas.russia has an endless supply of the poorest muslims
Democracy in Russia is a sham, anyone who can be a sensible candidate is suppressed by the current government. Your democracy is a sham too.
>>532720486>Russians were being shot at ... blah-blah-blahwhat are you even talking about?
>>532711280>Isn't iran explicitly and self-admittedly ruled by the mullahs and the elections are basically the equivalent of a poll or municipal election?Whereas the western countries are ruled by corrupt politicians that do not have to do what the people want. How anyone can call that a democracy is beyond me.

>>532720486both sides were shooting each other, casualties were mostly military, both sides civilians were dying, your civilians were not unique and you shot ukraine civilians back in same amounts.
>>532709255its true that he is elected by strong group of loyalists, but its also true that he ensured permanence of power of his party/regime by bypassing constituional law, then even edited constition itself in order to give himself 5 and 6 term, also extended terms duration to 6 years.he is lighthanded dictator by all meaningful checks and he is objectively bad for the country of this size & natural wealth, he even got into point of never ending war that bleeds primarily youth, but as long as mafia control stays its no biggie
>>532720627>Russia have zero recruiting issues13 regions in russia slashed their sign up bonuses to new recruits in half, because they're running out of money. So now russia coerces 18-19 year olds serving their mandatory army service to sign contracts to go to the war in Ukraine, so much so, they now even have a booming lawyer industry who overturn the coerced contracts. >Ukraine kidnaps 90% of thier troops off the street kek, it's not even 3-5%

>>532721786>nonsenceyou lying pidor shill, it's so easy to verify:"... at least 11–13 regions or federal subjects (regions) had slashed these payouts in 2025. As of late 2025, numerous Russian regions, including Tatarstan, Bashkortostan, Chuvashia, Mari El, Samara, and the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District, reduced their regional sign-up bonuses for contract soldiers, in some cases dropping them to the federal minimum of 400,000 rubles ($4,000–$5,000). For example, the Samara region cut its regional payment from 3.6 million rubles to the 400,000-ruble minimum in October 2025, with Mari El cutting from 3 million to 800,000 rubles."https://jamestown.org/russias-federal-subjects-quietly-cutting-subsidies-for-military-recruits/Military Lawyer: Assistance for Contract Servicemembershttps://ombudsman66.com/services/voennyj-yurist/advokat-dlya-resheniya-problem-po-rastorzheniyu-kontraktov-v-armii/For Moscow and Moscow RegionTermination of contract by military personnelhttps://urservices.ru/services/yuridicheskaya-konsultatsiya-voennogo-yurista/rastorzheniye-kontrakta-voyennosluzhaschim?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2FMilitary Lawyer: Assistance for Contract Servicemembershttps://kamkp.ru/voennyy-yurist-pomosch-voennosluzhaschim/

>>532721887retard, you have no fucking idea which dacha he fled from, the sheer size of the grounds, which had several security perimeters, and that he was protected by the Ukrainian SBU security to the last minute when he crossed the border with russia in a helicopter.He was never physically in any danger and was never shot at, you lying pidrila!
