Russian media is government ran.

People complain about the deep state here while holding him up as some kind of hero. He's authoritarian, no doubt about it. Maybe he leans more towards nationalism or to the right... But that country is an authoritarian oligarchy.

I'm no envious.

So is the United States now.

I listened to the interview and read the comments. For an ordinary Russian, there is nothing unusual there. We are used to it. that our leader is always sober, adequate and never shies away from uncomfortable questions.
I sincerely wish for any country to have such a leader. Since it is precisely in the search for compromises in discussions with equals that the national interests of each nation are defended. And this, in turn, is the conditions for balance and mutually beneficial existence.
Thanks.

Sure... We could make that argument.

But if we put each country on a scale I think there's would come out more extreme towards oligarchy and authoritarianism.

Putin works in the best interest of his own country, NOT against it. I can respect that. If Trump or 'America needs to repent' Democrats is the choice, that's easy.

And our news turned into a propaganda machine soon after Obama was elected and installed a bunch of monitors at the MSM HQ's. I am sure someone can dig up the story somewhere.
