Presidential Elections Russia, the West’s beloved example of “authoritarianism” has completed a plausible presidential election - giving Putin, with 87% of the vote, another six years as President - even in the new oblasts of Donbass, while the supreme example of what the West likes to call “democracy” has effectively abolished elections until the war is over (or Ukraine is no more) and is well on the route to outright dictatorship. As for the West’s own version of “democracy” it is clearer by the day that any system that produces a contest between two gross septuagenarian plutocrats (quite a few years older and less experienced than Putin, who is 71) who are both more than comfortable with Israeli genocides is a democracy worse than autocracy. No wonder the Pope broke ranks with the hysterical West and sent Putin his congratulations
