Kansas City radio station agrees to broadcast Russian-owned ‘propaganda’ program

Please make some sense in your next post. It was unintelligible. What "words" are you talking about? Am I supposed to guess? Do you yourself even know?

No way this guy really needs to know more than technical definitions to do his job. This is a hammer. That's a nail. Nothing more complicated than that or he gets flustered.

No, I'm US. Never been to Russia, but have several Russian friends here in the US.

He didn't steal another country. They speak Russian in Ukraine, if you didn't know that. Putin is not stupid, and is not going to surrender a very important seaport to NATO. He nipped the process in the bud, if you know what I mean. The people of Crimea voted to be a part of Russia again.

Putin imprisoned the band ***** Riot for some trivial crime, but released them in about 2 years.

If some band had been imprisoned for something in the US, they would have been given a 30 year minimum mandatory sentence here in the land of the free and home of the brave.

Putin does more to keep the peace than any individual in leadership in the US.

Julian Assange has been imprisoned and tortured by the US for speaking truth to power. You can't tell the difference between right and wrong it appears.

You just hate the US!

Next you will tell us that Chelsea Manning is back in jail when everybody KNOWS that Obama released her!!!!

Remember when Cons and Republicans use to say 'better dead than red'? Now a radio station in a very red state is going to broadcast Russian propaganda from an ex-KGB agent who freely admits he wants to bring back to old RED USSR...lol

My God, IDK if using the word 'cult' is strong enough anymore when describing Trumpsters.

The Democult agrees: Trump supporters are a cult.

Triggered? Was it implying that Putin isn't trustworthy? I kniw you all think he's the bomb.

Shockingly, as demonstrated many times, Putin's propaganda is peace and harmonious relations among nations with mutual respect, rather in the style of Thomas Jefferson.

Peace and harmonious relations among nations to include the illegal annexation of Crimea, the war in Donbass, incursions into Georgian territory, shooting down an airliner and lying about it, hijacking Ukrainian ships, killing dissidents in foreign nations, etc.

Speaking of freedom of speech. Our resident KGB sympathizers should bring themselves up to speed on how the KGB suppressed and punished free speech in the USSR:

I didn't say they should be banned. If you kearned how to read, you might actually get somewhere in life. Maybe Russia is the place for you. Yakutsk is lovely this time of year.

Sorry pal, that is a nonsensical statement. How did any of those persons dictators or otherwise participated in the overthrow of our government? Frankly I find it pretty hard to fathom that you could be that divorced from reality to make such a claim. I will just assume you are being disingenuous (which isn't very becoming either). Perhaps you are just spending far too much time with your stash of political porn?

This un-tethering from reality is the biggest threat to our democracy we have probably ever witnessed. God save the United States of America from ignorance.

Why, he should get Nobel prize for that! Maybe if Trump weren't so busy pouting that he didn't get one, he could lesd the charge for Vladimir Vladimirovich.

I do. I'm gonna say it right now. Russian state propaganda should have no legal place in America for the same reason that ISIS propaganda doesn't, either.

This support for our enemies is disgusting.

Georgia would say otherwise, as would Ukraine.
 
Thoreau72 said:
If Putin was hell-bent for war like the US is, he would have hammered Turkey for shooting down one of his planes in Syria, early in the conflict.

He avoided that confrontation, and handled it through diplomatic means.

He and Lavrov ALWAYS seek a diplomatic solution.

The US avoids diplomatic resolutions and relies only on military and violence.

He would have “hammered” a NATO member?

Not starting the Third World War is not a great feat of diplomacy and peaceful intent.

Really, because it was U.S.'s intelligence that claimed that Solemeini was an "imminent thread" and had to be assassinated. Believe them when you want - bash them when their information is counter to your desired truth.

You media friends keep sewing hate speech 24/7 so where is the "intimidation". Look, I know a "constitutional scholar" told you calling CNN "Fake News" was impeachable but please stop believing those who claim to know something. Who is "media" nowadays anyway? Van Jones, Mika and Joe? What degrees do any of them have in journalism?

Indoctrination at its finest. Bill Barr is the most independent public official in office today. I know the Dems are setting it up to say he is pro Trump because they know indictments are forthcoming.

6. Stacking the Supreme Court: Partial check.

WHY do you think the Dems tried to destroy Kavanaugh and why the Dems want to appoint their own SC justices? Because the Dems want to put a centrist on the court??

You confuse Trump with MSM who demonize him and conservatives 24/7


You folks are masters of projection. I am continually amazed as to your skill and adeptness at accusing others of what YOU are guilty of.
