Video of Russians laying flowers in memory of Navalny. |

It really isn’t. It’s what he said and what he meant. Of course the game is in the comparison— Bush ordering an invasion of Iraq vs Putin ordering the assassination of Navalny. If you think that’s a fair comparison and there’s no moral difference between Bush and Putin then you probably think what he said was perfectly reasonable. |
Whoa. No wonder the GOP all worship at Putin's feet if they believe this. Obviously the MAGAs don't support democracy any more. |
Tucker just said great leaders kill people Tucker probably carried a message from Trump to Putin. The timing is too coincidental. Trump needs to divert attention from his losses. |
What is the moral difference between Bush and Putin? |
Found another Russian! |

HBO did a great documentary a year or so on him, I highly recommend it. I didn’t know much about him, and I do get the controversy around him but he was definitely poisoned by Putin’s agent on that airplane.
His wife was able to get him transferred to Germany and this is sort of where the documentary starts. He has 2 children. I couldn’t understand why he insisted on going back to Russia when he could have stayed in Germany. He gets on a plane, with press and his wife and as soon as they land in Russia he’s arrested and he was in custody ever since. I don’t agree at all with Putin or Russian politics. But when you have children, to me it was crazy that he left them again. You just knew he would die. And now he has. It’s very sad. probably won’t change anything re how the world deals with Putin. |
Surely, you can explain, with facts, the obvious moral difference between Bush and Putin |
I am not the poster you are responding to but I will say certainly I could but I agree the fact you are asking suggests that you are either Russian or Tucker Carlson. |
Yes it’s quite eerily “coincidental” |
Sounds like he (for Trump) OKed the hit — traitors the lot of them |
In Russia, having a job that opposes Putin's views carries a risk equivalent to what it would be here in the US — in the army, police, or fire department. Navalny chose the path of an (honest) politician in Russia. He didn't want to become one in safe exile and tell his people how to fight Putin. Instead, he returned to his people, believing in them. To understand more about the consequences of opposing Putin, look up names like Politkovskaya or Nemtsov. Currently, there are two opposition politicians in Russian prisons — Ilya Yashin and Vladimir Kara-Murza, also true heroes. |
| Trump is going to be on a plane to Russia before November. That’s my bet. |
You’re probably right Would love to see Jack Smith ask the court to confiscate his passport |
I mean, we all know Putin is the one calling the shots in the Trump-Putin relationship. Trump is the puppet. |
