    Former US ambassador to Russia, Michael McFaul tweeted that the war in Ukraine is supported by most Russians. TV Rain's Ekaterina Kotrikadze interviewed him in light of the so-called presidential elections which became the stage for a new protest called "Noon against Putin" where Russians opposing the regime gathered at polling locations at noon local time and formed massive queues showcasing that a great number of Russians want change. Find out what Michael McFaul had to say about this from this interview.

    All imports / exports to Russia should be stopped. Fully enforce sanctions and hold CEO's, companies & countries should be held responsible for evading sanctions via 3rd party / countries.

    Always add text. The woman is speaking TOO fast that foreigners can follow. Or change some other to speak.

    How many Russians do you think saw anything of those lines? Really? The target audience is Modi or Xi or someone who is interested and who can see the reports on TV. Few Russians will see those lines, and do you think they would care if they could see it?

    US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin named the goal of military involvement in the Ukrainian war:
    "We want to see Russia weakened."
    The United States was never interested in fighting victoriously against Russia with its own soldiers, but rather in using Ukraine to wear Russia down.
    In September 2022, six months after the war, the first reports emerged that neither the US nor the other NATO countries have enough industrial capacity to supply Ukraine with sufficient ammunition.
    At the same time, Russia has overtaken the West in production by many times.
    According to military experts, two years after the war, many NATO states are militarily weaker than before.
    The following question therefore arises for me:
    The US maintains 18 secret services with an annual budget of $52 billion per year.
    How can it be that the US government was not informed about its own production capacities and Russia's production capacities in order to develop a better strategy?

    Why is it that Russians use the excuse that, well, if they do something the government doesn't like, I could go to jail. If everybody stopped making excuses and quietly said what they wanted to say, moving on with their lives - the government would have to adjust.

    If the answer to why Europe should continue to ally itself with the US against Russia are Michael McFaul's lame arguments, then the United States should better stay out of Europe's internal affairs.

    Cor, is that the face of soreness😜🤣 McFail is obviously very intensely sore that Putin is in power still, and critically that Russians voted in large numbers for and not against Putin. McFail should top himself so he does not feel so sore anymore😝

      "Voting and elections in russia" is an oxymoron, by definition. Is your cave connected to reality?
