Incoming KMT chair doubles down on ‘grass was green’ remarks - Focus Taiwan
This makes sense tbqh since being a leader in a US allied state probably means fielding accusations of being an authoritarian dictator no matter how much you toe the line. Being ready to depose and replace your satraps is important, & the US internal politics now demand inscrutable economic sacrifices for The Line

But Putin undoubtedly has reaped the rewards of a political landscape tilted dramatically in his favor. The Levada Center, a non-governmental polling organization, consistently reports Putin’s approval rating at over 80% – an eye-popping figure virtually unknown among Western politicians, and a substantial increase on the three-year period before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Dude there’s literally videos of Putin’s cronies stuffing ballot boxes. He also prosecutes activist and has them mysteriously fall out of windows. Like they sentenced a group for just making a podcast. He’s not a hero and doesn’t being liberation. He’s a sub imperialist who wants to replace the ruling imperial power. That’s all. Maybe not as bad. But that’s all he can offer.
Dude, mainstream western media openly admits that Putin has mass popular support in Russia, but you keep on doing your copes I guess. Nobody is talking about Putin being any sort of hero here. What’s being said is that there’s no evidence to suggest that elections in Russia need rigging. Meanwhile, the idea that Russia is trying to replace the US as the global hegemon is beyond laughable.
Any election where the US preferred candidate doesn’t win, is rigged in the eyes of the western media industrial complex.
That was a gaslight response. Take care.
Love how you refer to me stating basic facts as gaslighting. Take care.
The facts are only relevant on a different subject. But introducing that new subject undermines the original subject and dilutes the initial statement even though it’s factually correct. Gas lighting. You’re also assuming I’m not being persecuted. Of which in survived attempted murder fighting corruption in America. I have the legitimacy to criticize Putin.
You’re also assuming I’m not being persecuted.
Big if true.
The initial statement was nonsense, and it’s incredible that you keep doubling down on it.
