Why not? It's like watching a romantic movie, when a good guy crashes a wedding of a loved one in a last minute, and instead of "speak now or forever hold your peace" tell him "but not in 10 days before the wedding!"
- jariel 6y agoBecause it's nothing like that, and Putin is not 'a good guy' with noble intentions.
- Andrew_nenakhov 6y agoTrust me, living in Russia, I know a lot more about Putin than you do. However, the truth is the truth. On an unrelated note: seing fisthand how Putin's propaganda is working in the internet, it is beyond laughable how much power and influence you americans ascribe to Putin. His internet 'troll' factory is not a sophisticated tool for propaganda, it's a blunt factory that simply floods every comment section with low-quality noise. Of all money that were meant to influence the elections, 99% were, without any doubt, simply stolen. Trump's victory in 2016 is not a consequence of some elections meddling, but simply a coincidence. As one prominent member of russian opposition said (btw I know him personally, as in 'shaking hands personally'), “What is happening with ‘the investigation into Russian interference,’ is not just a disgrace but a collective eclipse of the mind.” [1] [2] [1]: https://www.facebook.com/leonid.m.volkov/posts/1585818548107439 https://www.facebook.com/leonid.m.volkov/posts/1585818548107...
