Thanks to the invasion of Syria, Putin’s approval rating grew from 89,1% to 89,9%. This is not an enormous improvement but only because there isn’t much room left for the approval to grow.

They have a way of being that is all their own, and you will only be able to understand it after spending a lot of time learning about it.
