Lol western media doesn’t know how to expose putins fake news without exposing its own practises funniest stuff I ever seen hahaha

[Iley_]

People outside Rusia sees the situation through the USA lens. But they never talk about the fact that the Washington's government would have settled military bases on Ukraine the moment he joined the EU.

And we all know that the USA is everything but a a saint. From this the Russian government decided to prevent this.

Nonetheless I think that declaring war is an exaggerate reaction.

Most Russian people are happy when they feel their country/ruler is strong. Russians' personal happiness depends on the perceived strength of their country. Everything else is of secondary importance for Russians.

Biden has an 83% chance of catching the Rona 😂😂😂

[fanabhekinkosimadonsela]

Lol it is you feeding the world propaganda

2:12 Are we actually supposed to believe he's asking her a question in real time, when it seems pretty clear she's giving a press conference and not an interview? That looks like a phony mock-up to me.

[AnnedolfFrankler]

They aren't real. The real number is closer to 90%

[happyozzie]

Makes biden’s approval rating look even more laughable

[Caesar]

fun fact: kim jong uns media claims his rating is 100%

[Democratic_Industrialism]

After I punished my kids my approval ratings went up 259% and a quarter

[munahassanmohamed]

In times of war and pandemic people stick together it's normal human behaviour

[shakostarsun]

Look at some humanitarian agency in Russia that reported officially only 15% of Crimeans voted to join Russia but they come out and say it's over 90%.

[philonutube]

When he leaves Russia (on other political stuff) which country is gonna arrest Putin for War Crimes?

[dontizzle]

Who is going to say they disagree with putin on a phone call lol you have to be crazy to do that smh

[drakehound]

Get real, you honestly think it is REAL ? yeah in 2012 and 2014 even 2016 it was real. after the Poisoning of Nalvalny failure it dropped .
But lets get one thing that shows a BIG DIFFERENCE, see the funeral today ? in 2012-2016 .. he wouldn't have cleared a whole room of people who mourned.
And those approval ratings were lower back then. now he does ? just for a special military Operation ?

[tayspiderx]

Should send the older Russian to foght

[jax]

It was already a high approval rating.

[mrdon]

The world will understand that Putin was justice.

If a pollster called you in Russia would say you approve of Putin or disapprove? Seems risky to disapprove.
