    America doesn’t. The Russian asset in the White House and its brainwashed minions do.

      Sorry to break it to you bud; But America has a Plutocracy problem; It’s not a question of Putin running the show, but the American legal system being unable to persecute crimes and corruption if it happens to be billionaires. So in essence the system is compromised.

      You guys voted him in, twice, with the popular vote the second time. Don’t pretend you don’t own him.

        Not an American here, nor a defender of what people did or didn’t vote for.

        What I was getting at was the massive media manipulation from outside and inside and the obvious foreign control the Dear Leader is under. With the deadly combination of of poor education, widespread media illiteracy and pervasive social media, our democracies have become even more remotely-controllable for whoever is willing to put the money in.
