You cant say theyre slaves. They elected the guy in a fair election. Theres no proof of any funny business. They voted or who they wanted, and he won with a huge margin.
Doesnt matter that Putin is a bully. And in the end Putin, and Russia will get theirs. They will be outcasts, and have had many of their assets frozen, and more is to come. They wont be able to collect money from their oil, and gas products. They will be shut off at every corner. They wont be able to get enough food, which will really piss the Russian people off.
The Russian people are also against Putins invasion. He has very little support at home, and the backlash is growing. What Putin is doing isnt sustainable. He may winn in the short run. But hes fucked in the long run. Especially if he causes harm to NATO countries. He will also be in deeper shit, if he attacks the USA infrastructure.
