    Just like it was obvious that Ukraine was going to kill American podcaster Gonzalo Lira.

    It makes me feel proud to have served a people willing to allow a foreign government to kill our citizens for simply speaking against said government. A people that are also fine with a foreign government's intelligence services demanding our social media companies censor Americans, which demands were acceded to, as the Twitter files showed.

    Russia has always been a war/oil economy -- especially since 2022.
    Europe ramp up war production quickly while Ukraine can still do the fighting.

    Not surprising the regular crew that supports the CIA-backed nazi movement in ukraine would come out in support of the CIA-backed 'activist' that wanted a nazi movement in Russia.

    Busted for corruption years ago, he wasn't given a prison sentence, he was given parole. After countless parole violations, he went to prison. Nazis aren't very smart.

    There already is a naZi movement in ruZZia, Bill.

    [​IMG]

    It just doesn't use the name "Nazi." It instead uses names and imagery related to the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union. But it is equally fascist, racist and hostile to free people in certain neighboring countries who do not want to be subjugated and ruled over or exterminated.

    I'm only surprised he wasn't killed shot down, sorry killed in a mysterious air crash while doing laps of the prison exercise yard! The people of Russia are worse off the loss of such a brave man.

    It's a hallmark of Russian imperialism that it kills off or drives out its best and brightest. That's how the thugs keep themselves in power.

    Hard to say how he got injured like that, but he is a POW, so it's likely he sustained injuries in combat.

    It's interesting to see "Русь" paired with a Swastika and "SS" paired with a Russian imperial flag, innit? Makes you wonder just what's going on in the naZi Russia these days and what sort of twisted guys support this war of aggression and genocide against the Ukrainians, or "hohols" has they so lovingly call them and have for a very long time.

    Maybe his own beat him up at some point before he was captured. Who knows? Considering that they kill "cowards" among their ranks and otherwise fight among themselves a lot, it would not be at all surprising.

    Anyone who knows anything today knows damn well that if Tucker Carlson, or Jimmy Dore, or a host of other American citizens, went to Ukraine, either the Ukrainian or US government, or a combination of both, would have them killed. It's indisputable.

    Haley calls out Numpty's silence on Alexei Navalny: Either he agrees with Putin or doesn't care
    "Either one of those is concerning," she said of her 2024 rival.

    By Nicholas Kerr
    February 18, 2024, 8:13 AM

    Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Sunday attacked her top primary rival, former President “Taco truck”, for his silence in the wake of the death of the imprisoned Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny -- suggesting that it shows how King Leer really feels about Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

    "Either he sides with Putin and thinks it's cool that Putin killed one of his political opponents, or he just doesn't think it's that big of a deal," Haley told ABC News "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl. "Either one of those is concerning. Either one of those is a problem."

    ...

    the

    Haley is right to call Trump out for failing to denounce the persecution and very obvious assassination of the opposition candidate by the Russian tyrant.
    Anyone who supports government of the people and by the people should denounce Putin for this latest heinous crime. It is the right thing to do -- especially for any American.

    Beyond that, Trump is an opposition candidate. It is remarkably foolish for him to remain silent about such horrific political persecution while insisting that he is a victim of political persecution.

    If Trump didn't know that his advisors were blind to political reality after his 2020 loss he should be able to figure that out now.

    Anyone who wasn't sure now has to know that Putin and his ilk are "Nazis".
