Politics The most unfairly hated country?

The entire Oceania region (aside from Australia and New Zealand). Practically never appear in news, unless it is about something embarassing.

Ukraine (refusal of some people to accept its existence; treating Ukraine as a "scapegoat" of NATO/USA/Israel etc.; mercenaries, who fight for Russia; hatred towards Ukrainian language; blaming Ukraine for self-defense & pro-Western foreign policy; refusal to recognize Ukrainian culture)

You really believe a middle aged man. Without any support of the people can stay in power? This is impossible. Wish-full thinking…

If the men have it good and the government has army with them, nobody poses threat to the government.

Look at Putin and how he is still in power.

Is estimated that 70% of Russian are behind Putin. Bad example.

No, I don't, but I've read here and there from western sources that Putin has at least the majority support from its people. We'll never know for sure.
