    Because the only way to force change in a country, is to push it’s people to make that change. It mught not be pretty, but it’s reality.

      You can’t simultaneously call Russia an authoritarian dictatorship and say that its people have the power to change the country’s trajectory.

      Because the only way to force change in a country, is to push it’s people to make that change.

      The correct way to say this is: “the only way to force change in a country, is to push the people who can make change to make that change”.
