Senate Russia: its impact on the world, its invasion of Ukraine, and its future

I did not say he staged it. I said I would not be surprised.

I mentioned that one earlier on I think.

 

What you personally see is up to you but you lose any credibility when you use Bellingcat as a reliable source.

 

I don't know what you are talking about but you certainly should calm down a bit, do some Yoga, read again what I wrote and spread your hate against me when your accusations fit to what I said.
Iran shot down what? Did they shoot down anything recently ? Maybe I missed it

 

Yes, but what has Navalny to do with Iran? What are you even talking about? I am embarassing myself because you spread off topic hate against me? The topic was Navalny's personality and not Putin is bad or Iran airplanes or PG does not like Smurfs. Calm down mate.

Btw the US shot down an Iranian plane and no one cared (except the relatives of the passengers)

 

Funny to imagine this discussion taking place between the characters in your avatars.
Calvin and Smurf Emperor.

 

Lol,

I though the same thing when you and I had a US politics discussion and it was a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k and a Lego Toydarian.

 

You know the Lego Toydarian always wins.

 

I'm just going to come in here to point out one thing:

This post is a prime example of how westerners will shove anything under the rug and excuse away any behavior in order to defend an "opposition leader" in a country we don't like.

Stop blindly supporting anyone who gets labelled an "opposition leader."

 

Than how was Lego Anakin Freed?

 

Navalny was poisoned by the FSB. Nobody who’s being serious disputes that. The only people I see online who dispute that are hardcore Putin apologists, including his far-right European allies.

 

Huh? I do that all the time with Republicans in the US Politics thread.

 

And you are blue like me.

 

This is a pretty bluesy place, I’ve noticed.

 

It’s good to hear and see. Navalny might be sketchy. But he is better than Putin. Even if let’s say Navalny was the exact same as Putin except he was pro gay marriage. I would still prefer him over Putin.

 

Baba Dee baba die

 

We now have two straight weekends of massive protests spanning Russia, and the Putin regime responding with its most brutal crackdown in decades. This isn’t just about Navalny, @Darth Smurf, an admittedly flawed opposition leader. It’s simply about people being fed up with any criticism of the Putin regime being met with poisoning, and Putin trying to retain his dictatorial hold on power for life (even after he nominally steps down).

 

There is absolutely no doubt that Russia has some sort of authoritarian government but Navalny certainly is not the solution.
Didn't Trump call the US being reigned by a corrupt deep state too? Still didn't make him a good choice.
Many people can be fed up with something but still do not support a weirdo just because he is fed up with the same thing too.
What would you say if you could ask every Russian what he thinks of Putin and the majority would tell you that they still support him while they are fed up with corrupt elements in the system - maybe because they still remember the Sovjet Union and the Jelzin chaos?
There are more people in Russia than Navalny opposing the current system and I am pretty sure that people in Russia are able to sort things out by themselves.
Btw. some ten thousands spread over more than 20 cities I would not call massive protests.

A guy calling a certain ethnicity rodents to be erased. Really?

 

No

Belief in democracy isn't the red line. Somehow racism and xenophobia is acceptable as long as the system supported is own where people vote?
