The electoral fraud of the Russian elections is again in headlights. In the pictures of surveillance cameras is seen, when the election officials have put the ballot papers in the ballot box. But then we must ask one question about this kind of action: didn’t those persons know about the surveillance cameras, or why they made that action so visible? There are many other ways to make the electoral frauds than put the ballot papers in the box by their hands, and one of those ways is simply to use two boxes.
One box is filled with the ballot papers, where is marked the wanted number. And the second one is used in the polling place. After the polling, the boxes can be changed very easily in the place, where security cameras cannot see that happening. This is the question about this kind of things. The elections in this kind of campaigns are, what the head of the state wants. And I think that Putin could be the win anyway.
But when we are thinking about the politics in Russia, that would follow the changing of seasons. Sometimes there is the warmer season, and sometimes there is like winter in the international politics. In the Second World War, the relationship between the USA and the Soviet Union were warmer than ever. But then became the cold war. Then was the warmer season, when the terrorism made those superpowers the allies again.
And now is the colder season again. That is the normal cycle in the relations of the international politics. But nowadays international politics is more complicated than ever before. There are more states what has nuclear weapons, and all of them can make the attack to the Scandinavia and other Europe. This can make the crisis and scenarios of the using force more complicated than ever before.
Those long-range ballistic- and FOBS (Fractional Orbital Bombardment System) can give nuclear states global strike capacity, and that’s the thing, what makes the international politics so complicated. States like Pakistan cannot just push away from international decision making systems like the United Nations security council. And they also can make very bad damages for any state in the world. Also, nuclear weapons are the good threat to another state, because that would give their leaders reason to start making laws, what the nuclear state wants.
And another state nuclear arsenal would give reason to limit the freedom of speech in the smaller state domestic politics, and the threat that is targeting to that country can be served undemocratic societies in other states. Even in the most democratic and less corrupted states live persons, who don't want democracy. Many of those persons live near unseen, and they publish their opinions in their own Internet groups, what are closed from publicity. But some of them wants the real limits for democracy, and they are ready to do everything to get their purpose.
