   I haven’t even bothered to post about it because of the framing.

   Applebaum nailed it.

   Via Anne Applebaum:

   It wasn't an "election" in #Russia; stop using that word.

   It was an orchestrated propaganda exercise designed to convince Russians, and the rest of us, to ignore the catastrophe #Putin has inflicted on his nation. 300,000+ Russian men are dead and wounded for no reason at all.

     @GottaLaff Here in #Switzerland 17% of those voting, voted for #Putin apparently.

     Does make you wonder who that 17% are though? I mean - wtf?

     But staff recorded the names and addresses of all the people who came to vote at the Embassy in #Bern presumably so they could send flowers and chocolates to their families back home.
