Difference between Russian Govt and American

[bgreene]

Russia under Putin Authoritarian Dictatorship

1. Lies are a main stay of rule.
Example - Putin claiming reason for attacking Ukraine is to rid them of Nazis.

2. Yes people in all power positions
Must be sworn to Putin no matter what

3. The public cannot disagree - or can face penalties including imprisonment, re-location and death.

Our great United Stated of America has been based on our Constitution - the greatest democracy on earth, and example for the entire world.


But now,power hungry Donald J Trump following the play book of dictators may over throw our system of fairness by following dictators play book by:

1. Using exceptional speaking skills to stir nationalistic pride and anger to gain support.
2. Expand lying and continual blame to gain power.
3. Once in power, eliminate opposition until absolute power achieved
Some Americans want this and will embrace lying and cheating as the new America - same as in Russia.
