"Russians hate Putin even more than they do now"
You should be more concerned about Canada than you are about Russia.
If 80% approval rating is 'hating' then Harper and Obama better be looking for bunkers.
Putin’s approval rating hits 80 percent
Putin now holds an enormous 80-percent approval rating. Just 18 percent of Russians appear unhappy with his leadership, the lowest number in years (the other 2 percent are unsure).
Next election looks to be a ‘two-party gunfight’ between Conservatives and Liberals: poll - The Globe and Mail
But Mr. Bricker warned against viewing the Harper government’s approval rating – 44 per cent, according to the poll – as a serious hurdle for the Conservatives. That number, he said, might seem low, but it’s actually typical for incumbents that go on to mount a credible fight come election time.
A fine example to show Canadians in general have no balls but the people in the Eastern Ukraine do as they are taking steps to get the Government the people want.

Right-wing Prime Minister Stephen Harper marches in lockstep with Washington. He's Obama's unctuous little sidekick. He dances to his tune. He partners in his dark side. No pun intended.
Canadian travel restrictions were imposed on senior Russian officials. Crimean ones were targeted. Economic sanctions followed. Last month, Harper announced them, saying:
"It's my strong belief we must keep the pressure on and we must continue to maintain sanctions and maintain putting in place strong steps to dissuade this behaviour."
"What the Putin regime has done cannot be tolerated and can never be accepted. The individuals targeted are responsible for undermining the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and for facilitating Russian military action against Ukraine."
"Canada will not stand by while Russia violates Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity."
He condemned legitimate Crimean reunification. He twisted truth claiming otherwise. He supports Kiev putschists. His new friends are fascist extremists He promised additional ways to help.
In mid-April, he announced more travel bans and sanctions. Foreign Minister John Baird said Canada "cannot sit by while Russia illegally occupies Ukraine."
"Russia's continued provocative actions in Crimea and elsewhere are completely unacceptable."
"Canada and its allies are prepared to take additional steps that will further isolate Russia economically and politically."
He lied claiming Russian "aggression." Russia attacked no one. No Moscow threats exist. Putin deplores war.
He goes all-out for diplomatic solutions. Don't expect Harper or complicit Ottawa officials to explain.
Canadian lawlessness includes participation in US-led NATO's 1999 Yugoslavia raping. Ottawa is a US coalition of the willing partner. It was part of Washington's war on Afghanistan.
It helped America selectively against Iraq. It actively participated in Obama's Libyan aggression.
Harper ignores rule of law principles. He's mindless of democratic rights. He supports Obama's war on Syria.
He endorses lawless drone strikes. He's comfortable about Washington's globalized torture black sites. Police state laws don't trouble him.
He's in lockstep with the worst of Washington's imperial agenda. He's part of US-led NATO's anti-Russian alliance.
He supports illegitimate Kiev fascist putschists. He's in bed with some of the worst societal misfits. He calls them his new friends.
They include neo-Nazi extremists. They're ideologically over-the-top. They threaten regional peace. They risk open conflict.
Harper matches Obama's belligerence. He supports hardline measures. He wants Russia marginalized, weakened and isolated.
Last month, he said Putin has "no desire to be a partner." He supports "rivalry" instead, he claimed. He twisted truth saying so. He's part of Obama's plan to plunder Ukraine for profit.
He supports making it another Western colony. He wants it geopolitically annexed. He wants it economically looted.
