A Final Comment
Whatever irregularities occurred were minor. Polls showed Putin heavily favored to win. He did slightly better than expected.
As a result, Washington, its rogue NATO partners, and complicit media scoundrels have Putin to kick around for the next six years. Expect them to take full advantage.
Putin's outspokenness won't stop. He'll continue saying "nobody can impose anything on us" and opposing Western efforts "to destroy Russia. Today our people have proven that such scenarios are not going to work in our country."
As president, his job is to assure they don't. It's also to serve all Russians responsibly. Hopefully, he's up to the task.
