No just the ability to make an observation and then comment on it.
Well I've heard.

Ironically Nemtsov expected to be killed by Putin and said so shortly before it happened.
Boris Nemtsov: 'I'm afraid Putin will kill me,' politician said weeks before being shot dead - Europe - World - The Independent
I expect he knew better as an ex deputy prime minister about the inner workings of the Putin regime than any casual western observer and what the consequences of his actions might ultimately be
It is a matter of fact that the beneficiary of the murder is the prime suspect. Provide evidence that this "West" is actively working to destabilize Russia?
You can start by providing valid evidence to support your biased opinions.
:roll:
The source is irrelevant. What he says and the evidence he presents is.
I guess you are one of those people that cares more about who is making a statement rather then what they are actually saying.
Interesting that you refer to yourself in the plural. Actually, creepy is more accurate.
I hope you two have a nice day.
And I expect that a 30 year veteran of congress would know a bit more than the flogger!
What flog cares about, is pressing his demonization of Putin and Russia. Therefore any shred that he sees as support of that, he clings to like a life jacket. But the mountain of logic, which is that Putin hugely damages himself by killing Boris, and gives the West another placard, that gets completely ignored.
EVIDENCE!!!!!!
Wtf is your problem. Do you think the economic sanctions being imposed on Russia are intended to shore her up. What's your deal dude???
Yeap, evidence. It is what differentiates a mere opinion from a statement.
Nothing personal.
The economic sanctions imposed on Russia are because Russia wants to annex Ukrainian Crimea. But this has less to do with why Putin killed Boris.
So are you just being coy, or do you really fail to understand that economic sanctions are a punishment, meant to damage and destabilize? Answer the question!
So "economic punishment" killed Boris then?!
Let us keep on topic please.

This guy seems more interested in ranting about domestic 'neocons' than he is about any factual representation. Nemtsov was bumped off the day before a major anti war march through Red square which was a point that was never mentioned yet which in light of subsequent events is highly significant. The last thing Putin wants is for people to stop and question the true motivations for the war in Ukraine that might run counter to the massive state sponsored media bombardment they have been subjected to to date.I guess you are one of those people that cares more about who is making a statement rather then what they are actually saying.

Ok, so you don't know the purpose of sanctions, fine.
Sanctions are not the subject of this thread.
Hadn't heard that claim. And what's wrong with you that you would deny a Western motive to destabilize Russia? It's already being done overtly.
Acts such as the murder of Boris,
and the Wests economic sanctions to destabilize Russia, are indeed the topic.
That's the claim every time Putin murders people. "It's the West! Spare me.
Or anyone with an anti-US agenda. The enemy of my enemy is my friend rationale.I usually hear it from Russian nationalists though?

Here's a couple things America once led in.
