Be careful when criticising democratically-elected presidents
Avner Eliyahu Romm
I would like to add that Putin was elected without threatening people with voodoo or witchcraft, etc.
Furthermore, as far as I know, he always follows court orders and never sang about bringing his machine gun or about killing members of any ethnic group.
So I really don’t understand what some people have against Putin. In fact, talking about democratically elected presidents, I should also mention that the violently deposed President Viktor Yanukovich of Ukraine was democratically elected too, while the present so-called “president” of that country was “elected” while people in the east of the country were unable to vote, and while people made hand-written comments on the ballot papers, protesting those “elections” and the civil war in Ukraine.
