Babbling nonsense. Putin in in office due to popular vote. Independent polls like Pew verify this. Their military is 10% the US budget, and they have two bases at the invitation of the host country.

Anything else that is not parrot crap?

So if Russia had evidence that a candidate had people murdered for example... that would be bad. I suppose then you are still outraged Russia warned the US about the Boston bomber, and are very satisfied that our government was wise enough not to fall for it and investigate.

LOL! You think Russia is a democracy?

Seems Putin rigged the election there as he tried to here.

Quote:
In last year's elections, both domestic pro-democracy groups and foreign observers tallied numerous voting irregularities. Golos, an independent monitoring organisation, even released an interactive online map on which thousands of abuses - from ballot-stuffing to vote-rigging - were logged in real time, until the site was hit by a mysterious and terminal cyberattack.

For the March 4 vote, not only were the ballot boxes made of tamper-proof, clear plastic, but 180,000 CCTV cameras were also installed in polling stations across the country. On election day, the cameras may not have managed to prevent such dubious electoral miracles as a 99.82 per cent vote for Putin in Chechnya (apparently, enthusiasm for the president in the restive, Muslim-majority republic governed by the Kremlin-backed strongman Ramzan Kadyrov was such that one polling station even recorded a 107 per cent turnout). Nor did the gadgets stop so-called "carousel voting", in which busloads of voters were encouraged to cast ballots at multiple polling stations.

Vulnerable people, who believe in Putin, will eventually make Putin the most powerful person on earth.

if Russia is goody goody and has a weak military, why does our right wing scream for more military spending?
