If Putin is making the Russian people suffer from US sanctions, why don't Russians get rid of Putin?

    Many think he's improved Russia, certainly after the horrors of Yeltsin's days.  Also, the sanctions aren't that effective. They can sell their oil and gas to China and Japan instead of to the Europuppies. Russian manufacturing is making a big come-back, too.

    First of all, Putin is not imposing sanctions, the US and EU are. 

    Putin's party regularly wins 75% of the seats in the duma.  The next highest candidate is the communist party with about 20%.  All the opposition candidates that appear on the news total about 5%.  It is like thinking Angela Davis could have won the US elections.

    Their elections aren't real. They are as real as North Korea's. And Putin is putting in an amendment so he can stay in power until the 2030s. He's already been in power for over 20 years.
