No! Putin must always win and be in office for life! There are no alternatives! ...because they're either in prison, oppressed, or dead with the Kremlin's blessing. One party rule just like the CCP, just using the guise of "democracy".

Russia complains of 'election interference'

Given Russia's history of interfering in other nation's elections, (see link below) Putin and his oligarchs probably know more about election interference than anyone else.

Vlad's playing victim, which I thought those who claimed to be strong never did.

By mentioning corporations the US far far right include in what they call call 'big tech' Vlad must once again be trying to appeal to his extreme right supporters (including the 'muh Russia' herd )in the US. Vlad and his armies of keyboard warriors use terms like 'big tech' which get the right wingers knees a-jerking, leading them to turn on on cable news to hear what one of Rupert Murdoch's lying heads might want them to believe.

"The spectre of electoral interference from Russia – whether in the form of hacking, dark money, bot armies, or a plethora of other techniques – has hung over elections and referendums from France to Ukraine, and from the USA to the UK."

This follows last Monday's accusations - announced by German Foreign Ministry’s Deputy Spokesperson Andrea Sasse - against Russia for the activities of “Ghostwriter,” reportedly a group of hackers directed by Russian agencies against deputies of federal and local parliaments of Germany. Germany reportedly has warned Russia that it will face unspecified consequences should the cyberespionage and election-related disinformation persists. (Source: multiple).

Stay tuned.

If Big Tech we’re on the warpath silencing liberals left and right, they would have their knees a-jerking as well.

What about the bigger and mega-powerful lying heads like Jeff Zucker, Jack Dorsey, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai? They’re force feeding the world a lot of lies, a lot. That ok?

We do it as well.

Would it not be interesting if the US "tech giants" all pulled the plug on Russia at once. No Google, no Apple, no internet, no connectivity to anywhere outside Russia, no nothing. Leave them high and dry.

Thank you JT, that headline gave me the laugh of the morning. Funny enough that Putin and Russia are complaining about election interference but on reading the article it's even funnier that their concept of interference is the danger of someone voting for the opposition (or even their being an opposition) in a "Democratic" election!

Nice trolling by Russia

The Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday summoned U.S. Ambassador John Sullivan, to complain about alleged interference by American “digital giants” in Russia’s upcoming parliamentary election.

Spot on, and it is high-time someone takes on these corrupt and arrogant Big Tech moguls who take it upon themselves to control information.

Nigeria recently blocked Twitter after Jack Dorsey tried to meddle in the Nigerian election. The hypocritical wailing about free speech by the same goons that censored a president at home were a sight to behold.

“Big tech” just another term right wingers use one of their many imagined evils to go along with ‘the media’ and so many others. The global far right can still use Yandex instead of Google, and they an still post their nonsense about alien reptiles and chips in the vaccine on Reddit, 8Chan and elsewhere.

Can't we already predict the outcome for every election that Putin is running? It will be 80% (exactly), FOR Putin, regardless of any other candidates. That's how elections are handled in the 'stans. Pick the outcome the current rulers want and make it happen, or else.
