Clinton Admits Putin Won the Russian Presidential Election Fair and Square

“US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has acknowledged that Vladimir Putin is the “clear winner” of Russia’s presidential elections” but then she gave the world a bit of a glimpse into the rationale behind their efforts to destabilize his regime by falsely accusing him of rigging the election:

“The election had a clear winner and we are ready to work with President-elect Putin as he is sworn in and assumes the responsibilities of the presidency,”… “We continue to believe that Russia should join the international community and play a positive role in trying to end the bloodshed and help create the conditions for a peaceful democratic transition [in Syria],”… “That is not only a US position, that is also through NATO that we have sought to discuss this at the NATO-Russia Council,” Russia Today

Russia and Syria both have been attempting to find a peaceful solution to the NATO made crisis in Syria. The United States, specifically Hillary Clinton, want nothing to do with their efforts. What they want is the United States and her NATO allies to force the Assad regime to fold and then they want to write Syria’s new constitution themselves so they can rebuild the nation in their neoliberal model.. just like they are doing in Libya.

 

It is nice to see Clinton having to admit, in public, that the Russia presidential election was not rigged and that Putin is the legitimate president of Russia after all the MSM (and even most dissident sites) ran with the bullshit story of Putin’s stolen election.

Of course, American Everyman didn’t go that direction.

“The propaganda mills are running at full speed to discredit this weekend’s Russian presidential election and by extension, Vladamir Putin, who is now set to serve an unprecedented third term as president of Russia. All the “news” agencies and even the leading left/right dissident sites are marching in lockstep to denounce the Russian elections despite it being hailed by international observers as the most transparent and “the best election monitoring system” the world has ever seen.” Scott Creighton
