  • About a dozen of the guys and I watched this allegation of "fraud' in the Russian elections on the "news" (state propaganda tool) and EVERYONE in the room burst into laughter.

    Of COURSE the Russian elections were rigged. They're rigged here, too. In fact, they're rigged in nearly every human farm on the planet!

    It's idiotic things like this that's caused the mess media liars to lose over 80% of their viewers - they think we're all as stupid as they are!

    Think the globalists are HONEST? WTF!?

  • At least Putin is in charge of his country unlike the US president. ZING!

  • Putin 2012, Ron Paul 2012!

  • well russia is still very much US nemesis even if the cold war's over.. they got huge natural resources, oligarchs to sell them off have been kicked out the game & putin is a real nationalist who hates the US and democracy. The fact that bush stole 2 elections doesn't really encourage me to see them destabilize russia for that reason, but i guess we sheep shouldnt get our noses in powerful people's rivalry, except to go get killed when they broke wars from their offices, so i wont say anything

  • The Fuehrer has spoken. Russia is so screwed...

  • Putin has allowed the following opponents: all the major U.S. Republican politicians.

  • Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for president 2012 !!

  • Bootin' the Putin?

  • This guy is such an idiot. He knows nothing of Russian politics and simply repeats what he reads in biased articles or hears in slanderous newscasts.

  • @indi13lli

    Actually, he doesn't know much about anything. He's just a grandstanding bigmouth, albeit an articulate one. But since he's articulate and has a knack for words, his impressionable viewers buy everything he's saying. Bunch a mindless idiots... the host as well as those viewers who worship him

  • when russia's government and people become more open to gays and gays are not found dead or worse i might start to care

  • @TheRandomguy112 Which very likely would happen much faster if they had an actual free society that's ruled by the people.

  • @TheRandomguy112 nobody cares, faggot.

  • Comment removed

  • Putin seems to be a dictator more than ever. Scary.

  • A Russian George W. Bush, how disgusting?

  • A Russian George W. Bush, how disgusting?

  • Americans and russians are neck and neck for the fail of the new century folks

  • The "In Russia" jokes weren't funny even when they were new. 40 years ago!

  • In soviet russia.. the government votes against you

  • I guess he was Putin on the voters. Hohoho ;) But seriously, Russia is quite terrible.

  • Putin qualifies as a dietitian especially against his opponents. His favorite treat? Radioactive Muffins lol

  • Finally tyt with some foreign policy news. Wow

  • Didn't they jail the last candidate billionaire that wanted to run against him?

  • in soviet russia, government screws you! oh wait...in america too

  • what the fuck do liberals (if they really ARE liberals) insist on defending russia?

    you want to know what the USSR was like?

    take how corrupt the US government is now, and have them kill 55 million of their own people

    congratulations, you just simulated the soviet union

  • I'm American of Russian descent and Putin is Awesome, but all of this third term nonsense and shreding of the Russian constitution is just stupid.

    PUTIN 2012 HAHAHA, But only if Medvedev's still around (Prime Minister maybe?)

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore

    In the US, the president has claimed (and indeed executed) the authority to kill US citizens at will without any due process of law.

    Even Putin doesn't claim that kind of power openly. The US does so brazenly.

  • @WilhelmDrake . . . I'm not so sure of this. Oh! have I come up upon Russian censors?

  • People keep hating on Putin as if he is some villain. I mean, he picked Russia up from chaos. Instead of cashing in, he served the country magnificently. Washington could learn a thing or two from him.

  • @ArtypNk julius caesar was a great leader to

    but he changed rome into an empire, which led to corrupt leaders who hastened its downfall

    quit defending him

  • Putin cares more about his fellow Russians more than our Republicrats in Washington care about their fellow Americans. Say what you will about Putin, but Russians love him for a reason.. he had the balls to go after the criminal oligarchs that were looting his country during the chaotic 90's, not to mention he stabilized the economy and improved it immensely over several years.

    We don't see Putin's troops occupying half the globe. He gets smeared by the US mainstream media for calling them out.

  • @bobshenix ya.. even though there was vote fraud the people still dig Putin.. also russian politicians are fucking badass

  • @1corpoaratekochwhore I compared primarily our presidential elections and their presidential elections, not the political systems as a whole. They have no choice when it comes to the kind of person that will win... and we have no choice either. We can only choose which right wing nut or sellout we prefer. It's not a choice at all.

  • Kim Jong Il dies.

    Next day on TYT...

    Tim Tebow videos: 2

    Kim Jong Il videos: 0

  • Cenk you're a freak, ha! Don't change a thing!

  • @LettyCVM You conservative! >:D

  • americans are so stupid, obama is your perkorov

  • Cenk is just one more idiot stupid enough to fail to recognize that as another US staged “color revolution” Morons like him will be always found to in support of US coup detas and wars, just like he supported NATO sponsored AL-queda terrorists in Libya that resulted in destruction of that country in ongoing civil war, deaths of tens of thousand and sacking of several major cities. Stupid liberal imbeciles can be always counted on to support US imperialism and terror.

  • @ZoneofA exactly cenk is such a believer in mainstream western media

    libya was an exact repeat of the colour revolution, and russian protest are the same

    Putin won the election, so obviously people who came 2nd will protest

    this is what the CIA does, in countries which are not controlled by america is united the opposition to create trouble

    in the UK, the govt only has 40% of the popular vote, why not start a revolution there ????

  • @ZoneofA

    Libya was just another example of liberal/ progressive hypocrisy.

    We had to stop Qaddafi from attacking a city (Benghazi), so we could then help the rebels attack a different city (Sirte) by humanitarianly bombing them to dust.

    Does anyone else not see the hypocrisy in that?

    Let me state that I am no friend of Qaddafi, but nor am I of the rebels.

  • Russia under Putin has become autocracy-lite government.  Putin acts like a Tsar

  • @contacter bullshit, russia has manny checks and balances

    obama acts like a king , killing american citizens, starting wars with out congress and repealing the 4th amendment

  • @naym2011 say what u want Putin is a tyrant. anyhow im not american im Canadian.

  • @naym2011 and our current tyranical PM Harper is as big a dickhead as Putin.

  • @contacter

    The real power in Russia is in the hands of the oligarchs.

  • Comment removed

  • @themanclaw2 "did single-handedly fix Russia"

    There are no words to describe how moronic you sound. 

  • @kirkey99 putin fixed russia he is a hero, he is like the FDR of russia

  • @naym2011

    He did not "fix" Russia. He halted the decline, but the Oligarchs still run the economy, what's left of it anyway.

  • @naym2011 Your trolling is strong, young master, I'll give you that

  • At the big-picture level, the problem isn't voter fraud, it's ELECTION FRAUD. In America we have 3 cases per year of voter fraud, but with talk radio and Fox News tricking people into voting Republican, we have 9,235,411 cases of ELECTION FRAUD!

  • @JEFF9K

    Excellent point.

    It's not individual voters committing the fraud, it occurs at the elite levels.

  • when shit hits the fan in russia they just change their countries name and begin over ^^

  • can someone link the the ballot stuffing video?

  • Vladimir Putin is wearing a bear.

    Your argument is invalid.

  • "If communists proved the fallacy of their ideas in 70 years, the capitalists needed only twenty years to achieve this same result" - Maxim Kantor

    The Communists were big winners in the election.

  • @WilhelmDrake Yeah they got double the votes they did last time.

  • someone have a link to the video?

  • Russia is a joke country. Don't the people there realize that they are living under a dictator?

  • @IceBlueBeard LMAO.That's why Putin has helped the economy and middle class grow every year unlike your wonderful "American freedom" believing presidents.

  • @AvtoMashna It's true that he has done a good job fixing Yeltsins mess but, doesn't take very much to be a better leader when your predecessor was drunk 24/7.

    Still, i respect Putin alot but it is very clear that there was something fishy about these elections. Also the last presidential elections...

  • @AvtoMashna So it's okay to be repressed, if the dictator does some helpful things? Wake up man, you are living in a fascist country without any human rights.

  • @IceBlueBeard

    Do you?

  • @Kooshkff Here are things you should consider. Can anybody run in the presidential campaign? Are you allowed to criticize the government publicly without being killed, like Khadzhimurad Kamalov? Are elections without ballot stuffing? If any of these are answered no you are living in a fascist country.

  • @IceBlueBeard

    Oh I have my doubts about all of those. The difference is that the USA will lie about it.

  • @Kooshkff What! are you brainwashed? Wake up man. Try to think a bit more critically. Don't believe everything you read in the government newspapers, especially some hero stories of Putin, ye right he just happened to be exactly where a tiger got loose and saved the day.

  • @IceBlueBeard

    You live in Iceland right? I suppose you are one of those who think Americans CHOSE the situation we're in?

    What makes you think I like Russia either? I've never been there. Yeah, putin is a rock star, I get it. So what :/

  • @IceBlueBeard

    Let me ask you. How would you feel if Iceland said screw you people, we're bailling out the banks and you are going to pay for it. (and then we're going to send our dumbest boys out into the world and make the rest of your countrymen look like war mongering jerks?)

    My lack of patriotism is my country's own doing. I also don't appreciate being called brain washed. Because I'd have to be brainwashed in order to ignore what is blatantly obvious.

  • Well the Icelandic people do have to pay for the downfall of its privatized banks, because we had a totally inept government. Look up Icesave for the mess. At least Icelanders threw out the last inept government but the people in US seem to continue to want to vote Republican. It's like they are masochist and like to have their rights stripped away and their money wasted on useless wars.

  • @IceBlueBeard

    We have a democratic president at the moment. But he's seemingly a closet republican. He's even brought us to war without the approval of the congress. What does that tell you about what my vote means?

  • @Kooshkff

    To be fair, the Democrats are basically Republicans these days, and the Republicans are Fascists.

  • @dEdGrimley

    Well.. yes and no...

    I don't have time to explain though lol. be back laters.

  • @Kooshkff implying that dems are peacenics and republicans are warmongers might be understating the problem. a republican, ike, warned us of the military industrial complex. nixon was elected on the promiss of ending the war in viatnam. and clinton had us involved in wars allover the world. i think a problem is that americans only hold our politicians acountable when they belong to the opposite party. voter need to stop woshiping our parties like basketball teams and pretending not to see fouls

  • @DrunkenNuts

    Clinton had the US involved in wars all over the world? Didn't he turn the budget deficit into a budget surplus by scaling down US military expenditure?

  • @DrunkenNuts

    In my opinion it's all a part of social engineering. They are using left and right wing politics to grab certain groups of people and pit them against each other. The republicans and democrats have circus and in they go behind the curtain and shake hands for a job well done. In the end everyone is screwed except for the people who pay for the circus. >_<

  • Putin:

    "Well, time to choose who runs against me. Uuhhh... that dog over there. No. Not that one. The mangy, scrawny one chewing off it's own fur. But make sure you rough it up a bit before it makes a public appearance."

  • So, Russia's elections are just as meaningless as American ones.

  • Putin is a creation of the post-communist tyrannical capitalistic society, him holding power is itself proof of his and their system's corruption. More for the wealthy less for the working and poor, it's the same everywhere, they just take different routes to the end game. Russia is beyond being fixed, look at the US, freedoms, guns, representatives fro each state, free but failed media, and we can't even bust out our mess. Russia has no chance, never has.

  • This just shows that anti-Putin propaganda so widely spread among American public that even, so called, alternative voices are basically playing the same tune when it comes to smears, lies and anti-Putin slant across US msm. Putin hatred manufactured by years of disgusting propaganda the type Cenk Uygur just engaged in, trained masses in a nearly uniform belief that Putin is a 'bad guy'.

  • @slavixtube And that's where you're wrong. I know a lot of people from Russia and most of them don't like Putin. Not because they buy into anti-Putin propaganda, but because the standard of living simply hasn't changed that much. Wages/salaries go up, but so does the cost of living

  • @SATG87

    Well I know many more Russians who think Putin is one of the greatest leader Russia has ever had. Russia's economy more than doubled in last decade, pensions were tripled in real terms, middle class more than doubled, gov debts were paid off and 3rd largest reserves in the world were accumulated. Real wages have been rising about 15% per year 2000-2008. Russia is a much more prosperous country thanks to Putin.

  • Cenk Uygur is full of shit and knows nothing about Russia and Russian politics. Just shut the hell up, you ignorant moron.

  • @slavixtube We know everything about Russia slav. 

  • @TheUSMetalhead

    Do you know? Most of you won't find the country on the map, but are convinced that you 'know everything'.

  • That guy who is telling you this story is just making it up. Putin was even on the fucking ballot, so any your bull shit allegations that videos supposedly show Putin ballots is bogus. This was a Duma elections where parties are seeking 450 seats. Medvedev was head of the Unite Russia party list. Putin is running in march for president. Make up you bull shit correctly next time.

  • He wins 2012 (which he will, as his party owns the media in Russia) he'll have been in power from 1999-2024, the definition of any dictator I'd say.

  • Interesting how TYT leaves out the fact that it was the Communist Party that really won the elections. Given how TYT is hardcore communist.

  • United Russia, the vile monster of rampant post-Cold War nationalism.

    .

    Yet Putin, for all his undemocratic activities and harsh tone, gave stability and prosperity to more Russians than the drunkard preceding him could ever imagine.

    .

    I don't think he should run again, but I won't dismiss what Putin did for his country in terms of stabilizing it, throwing out the oligarchs, and facing wackos like George Bush head on.

  • He's a bare chested pooter.

  • We all know what's going on here. Putin is retaining his preferred power structure with some shady tactics. But to keep it in perspective, albeit not completely democratic, Russia has done great under Putin (GDP up over 70% & poverty down by more than 50% over 9 years).

    The major opposition is the communist party so fuck 'em. Rather have Putin than BS communists.

  • Pew-tin.

  • Pootin is the king of Russia.

  • Hey, I'm Pooty Poot, Bitches...

  • Even if he did rig votes, why would he admit to it? Who in the right mind ever did that? Honestly! Can anyone name a single person who came to power who admitted that he did something wrong?

  • Over 99% supported Putin in Chechnya?!

    My bullshit detector is off the charts on this one. -_-

  • Let's face it: Russia is the US and UK in ten-twenty years time.

  • Putin is awesome. Who the fuck cares if he rigged the elections.

  • Those corrupt Russian leaders and their obvious voter fraud - outrageous!

    They should learn from America on how to run a corrupt election. Florida 2000, anyone?

  • @audadvnc Clearly you're not familiar with the political climate in Russia, even after the Cold War ended. It's been a military state. Corruption is so deep and ruthless that the people don't speak out because they're taken away in the night. Reporters have been killed in broad daylight for what they've said against the corruption in Russian politics.

  • @audadvnc Doah!!!!

  • @audadvnc

    tard

  • They way Cenk says "hes next" makes it sound like hes saying in russian "pizdec", or in english, "Fuck".

  • Cenk, Cenk , You are wrong this time again !

    You support the oligarch who stole all the wealth in Russia, why ??

    -

    Why is the russian election worse than the american, where 25 %

    of black not allowed to vote at all ???

  • Let's face it: Putin is simply the Capo di tutti capi in Russia.

    There is as much chance of democracy occurring in a beehive than it happening in Russia under Putin.

  • that's a bad make-up job to cover Cenk's massive head wound.....wth happened to him anyway?

  • @rosskstar

    Massive amount of face palms.

  • In America you don't get to choose ANYONE. as they all work as one

  • I suspect Mr. Prokhorov will stand trial in a near future...

  • Can someone explain this whole thing I'm confused??

  • that Russian election was a freaking joke.. the last time I laughed so hard was then Bush was supposedly "elected"..

  • what a world....

  • Yeah... but Putin has the best Propaganda ever :D

  • The only countries that have elections that matter, are in countries that dont matter.

  • @wistoncap haha yeah, in 2004 the OSCE had to send election observers to the USA after that fraudulent ellection of George W. Bush.

    Bush really was good at sabotaging Americas international standing.

  • Wow, Russia's politics are just as fucked up as ours.

  • @SDub817 Our elections aren't fucked up. We just have stupid voters, and we need to get money out of politics.

  • Its nice to know that russia elections are just as fake as american ones.

  • In Soviet Russia, President elects YOU

  • You got to love Russian elections.

  • And another Russian journalist was murdered the other day. When a journalist criticizes the government and they get murdered, it doesnt take a detective to figure out who is behind it.

  • Thanks TYT< I'am tired of the BS on RT

  • fuck off.. american hears "communist party" *runs away in fear*

  • Comment removed

  • @joespams

    Actually the Russian presidents sit for 6 years now, something Putin as prime minister put in place. So when he wins in 2012 he can sit for 2 consecutive terms, which equals 12 years.

  • Cenk always smackin his lips, .. suckin his teeth. Ben apparently rubbed off on him...

  • in capitalist america, bank robs youuu!!

  • @sofusmadsen LMFAO

  • in soviet russia, politicians elect youuu

  • in soviet russia politicians elect youuu

  • Putin runs Russia with an iron fist, multinational corporations run America, who's worse? I don't know?

  • Putin the mafia boss of Russia.. what a jerk.

  • At least Russia aren't bombing the world like its going out of fashion.

  • I hate when America is hating on any country they fell....''hey they are not doing thing like us''

    I think you guys have plenty of problems on your own to focus on other countrys

  • Democracy has not existed in russia since Novgorod. And even then it was a medieval version of democracy.

  • And yet, Russia's GDP has more than doubled since Putin's rise to power, even though it had been falling for a decade when he was first elected. Just saying.

    Meanwhile, how's Obama doing?

  • @Lexoka dude the story is about corruption in russian election, as much as you guys wanna blindly hate on north america, atleast we have fair election and freedom of speech in most states. putin is a corrupt fsb or kgb bastard, my friend lived in russia for 11 years and she said there is no such thing as fair journalism in russia. now go back to watching "RT" or shall i russian state television for fair and balance(no difference between foxnews and russia today)

  • Putin unfortunately will be in power for a little while longer, even with the bare majority of United Russia he'll try something to get him all the power he wants, democracy is very shaky in the former soviet union.

  • USA has gerrymander electoral boundaries. Does not have paper ballot like the rest of the western world & all the politicians are in the hands of the corporate elite. Voter disenfranchisement is rampant along with court injunctions and ballot tampering has occurred. Look in your own backyard first before singling out the Russians for special mention. And yes Putin and his party are corrupt lying shits but they are not the only ones!

  • This reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer joined the navy and ended up taking the sub to Russian waters.

  • CHANGE!

    LOL!!!

    Peas.

    

  • come on. your just being ignorant. ask an russian and they will tell you under putin and medvedev (after Jelcin d drunk puppet of US) did good to restore russia. russia is miles ahead of what it was 10-15 years ago. so give him some credit

    im not defending him or any1 else. i would love to see more democracy and more strong russia. and i doubt his party cheated SO MUCH it swayed the public opinion. who do you want to win? nationalists? comunists? i think the polls mach the public opinion

  • it's funny how americans say putin

  • @SusSell Rootin Tootin Putin!

  • @SusSell I pronounce it as poo tin. How is it pronounced?

  • @madax132 pyoo-tin, it's close enough.

  • @madax132 imagine how latinos pronounce the letter U. and then say putin without extending the U

  • not much change in russia?...come on cenk stop being an ass .putin will own  ur ass anyday u fat bastard

  • @XxMzt4RVLCNRYxX cenk is speaking about corruption in russia, he extensively covers corruption in mainstream media in america, stop being a little bitch when he is critisizing russia, you guys don't even have fair elections lol

  • cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc­cccccccccccccccccccc

  • at least more change going on in Russia then U.S :)

  • Florida.

  • The only reason the US wants to claim Putin cheated is because he made Russia's economy so much stronger than the US one. "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY "!!!
