Yes, cause Russian dissidents and those who left to the United States, which itself functions much in the same way in principle like other oligarchies, they should be the ones to critique the internal struggles of a country they didn't want to be a part of. It's ridiculous, the Russians will solve their internal problems as they see fit and in a timely organic manner. Criticizing Putin against a backdrop of a militarist US government is beyond retarded, sort out your own government and its need for war while ignoring its people's need for affordable medicare, then maybe you can have a say.
