They can see the writing on the wall. Well, at least some of them. Someone from Russia was on CNN and he said that about 1/3 of the population is behind Putin due to all the propaganda for 20 years. The younger Russians are the ones who are more aware. We know all about that from all of the Right Wing Nut Job TV and radio stations in the US and the BS that is the the hallmark of the GQP and tRumpsters.
