Russian President Vladimir Putin claims that true power in the United States lies not with elected presidents, but with shadowy figures in suits who dictate policy behind the scenes.

“That’s why every single leader ends up with the same policies — just dressed up differently,” he says, suggesting that U.S. leadership changes little, regardless of who is in office.

Mr Putin, America is not a banana dictatorship like your country. There is working congress, court and laws that state what the president can and cannot do.

Obviously. Those who run America are contented with doing so behind the scene.

Re: Presidents Don’t Run America — Putin Makes Bold Claim by WeirdAlien: 3:36pm On Jun 07, 2025
America has ruling families.
They start grooming their children from young to become senators, supreme court justices, or presidents. Every school they attend, courses they study, military service, and friendship associations are premeditated.
Usually, one child will focus on the family business while the other will focus on politics, and another on law. Or they'll have very close family friends focusing on something they don't have within.
At the end, they'll all be helpful to themselves to reach the top.

Well George Bush is a clear example. The vice president was the one calling the shots, I mean every Major decision had his signature, invasion of Iraq been one notable example.

He is saying the truth. The oligarchs families..
They already know who will be the president next two years and they have already started crafting policies on how he will help them subjugate humanity for them.
Re: Presidents Don’t Run America — Putin Makes Bold Claim by RollinTNDA:
Putin is very very WRONG.

What you have in America is Political Dynasty Families that each own a share of America like à company.

Rotschild family for example are the family that created Israel state 1950
After holocaust
They literally own America too

These families try to control each president. And tell them what to do.
But the control is 50/50
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't

But where putin is wrong is
These RICH AMERICAN DYNASTY families will push agenda to each president but THE PRESIDENT HAS EVERY RIGHT TO DISOBEY THEM.

JFK disobeyed them. Got assainated
Trump disobeyed them because he refuse to push LGBTQ agenda.
They tried to assassinate him and failed.

So it's not like those families own or control USA president. False.

They only propose their agenda to you as president. Then you as president can decide if you want to disobey or not.

As for Obama. He is a soft guy
So clearly he didn't want to disobey
But Trump is a strong bully
So he disobeyed them. Simple

Not sure you can use the invasion of Iraq as an example of this.

Don't forget it was George Bush Snr that won a war with Iraq in less than a week and decided against invading proper and regime change.

So most people feel his son decided to invade Iraq proper and go one step further than his father by completing regime change....which if you look back at history of kings and their successors makes a lot of sense.

So though Dick Cheney might have supported the war, Gerorge W had personally more to gain by starting and finishing it the way his father failed too.

grin

It is like Putin is showing lack of knowledge...

American presidents do not run America, and everyone in America knows that...it is not like it is secret, or a conspiracy.

US presidents run the country in concert with the US Congress. It has been so since the late 18th century, when the instituon of the President was set up in the wake of the Shays revolt.

Remember most of the people who emigrated to the USA...were people who were running away from what they considered one man rule in Europe. In Europe, kings had too much power. And a tyrranical king could usually make life difficult for people who dissented against the majority. The system that is in place in the USA is there to prevent a repeat of tyrranical kingship.


Russia, on the other hand, has been run by one man strongmen for centuries. Anytime they tried proper democracy it ended in chaos. And really it is not their fault. Russia is a large vast country, that over the centuries has been prone to invasion, and conquest (Hence their invasion of Ukraine...it is to protect Russia from being invaded again from the West. And yes, they have good reason...read Russian history from the 12 th century onwards. Ukraine too has every right not to be treated as someone's footstool...which is why I no dey back any side in this war. Both of them have good reasons for what they do).

SO Russia has been run by strongmen, and Putin is the latest itieration of a strongman. And for the average russian,....American democracy confuses them. It is either that they are madt...or there must be some shadowy figures behind the scene keeping order, and ensuring the same polices are in place. (He should learn the difference between the New Deal politics and the neo-capitalist polices that shaped the USA in the 1930's-80's.).


And yes, one can say the same about Russia. Same old system of oligarchic control by a few powerful men and sometimes women over the same country for centuries. Only change was from fedualism to communism to capitalism .
