And, to think, some people wonder why real Americans prefer we not have Putin's puppet in the White House.

Popkov, 42, who co-founded Ton-M in 2014, was known for his investigative reports on abuse of power and corruption, as well as his criticism of functionaries from the leading Kremlin-backed United Russia party. The newspaper, published under the motto, "We write what other people stay silent about," was well-known in Krasnoyarsk Krai and had been subject to threats and pressure from authorities. It has also been the target of politically motivated police raids, according to media reports. In an August 2016 editorial, Popkov wrote that Ton-M was "accustomed to being a pain in the neck for many officials who are trying to [silence us] in every possible way," through "phone threats, intimidating searches, and interrogations." He added that the authorities were concerned about the "corruption incidents that we reveal."

Of course, those "some people" would probably dance in the street if a few so-called liberal journalists in the US began showing up dead. Wouldn't they?
 
Trump will call his pal Putin to congratulate him on the killing just like he did with Duterte ..................


Trump & Putin would love to be able to kill every journalist on the planet, if they could only get away with doing it ......................

Putin is getting away with it.. And unless the Republican party and the moderates in the GOP grow a pair Trump might too.

As I've said in another thread, it is like I am living in Nazi Germany, living USA today.

Who are "real Americans" with an eye to history? Would that be the liberal Americans that taught Nazi Germany their scientific eugenics or would that be the Americans that sided with the ruthless Man of Steel Stalin?

Is Putin worse than Stalin or ISIS or even the monarchy of Saudi Arabia? Listening to uniformed Americans you would think so.

You know the accusations of Putin being a murderer is right up their with the accusations of Bill and Hillary Clinton being a murderer (of American citizens, with a long list of names). However, we have objective evidence Hillary was involved in at least one murder: the extra-judicial lynching of Gaddafi in Libya.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you."

If she was a black teenage kid on the South Side of Chicago suspected of involvement in gang related murder in Chicago, these spoken words of hers on video would render her in serious trouble if the tape found its way in the hands of District Attorney's office and she was in police custody.



American Democrats run around trying to topple liberal, that is fiscally liberal governments, all over the world outside of Western Europe. So, namely Eastern Europe and Latin America. Which is the hypocrisy of "real Americans." Putin rose to power in Russia during a period when not just the state (political entity) of Russia was on the brink of collapse but the civilization of Russia was on the brink of collapse. And the American Government joyously watched. President Yelstin a hardcore alcoholic did whatever Bill Clinton and the US Government said, he also watched over Russia during a period when Russian organized crime was literally (not figuratively) steeling the jewels and gold from the vaults of Russia's equivalent of Fort Knox's and funneling the precious stones and metals to their organized crime partners in Israel (you may be unaware of this but there is a string presence of Russian organized crime in Israel). During that same period the Russian oligarchs--all of whom had to also deal with Russian gangsters like US businessmen did in Chicago, New York City, Atlantic City, and Vegas during the 1970s and early 1980s--were swindling money from the Russian people and state at least as underhandedly as the Wall Street crooks of the USA (most of whom never went to prison) who literally collapsed the global economy and sent the US into a major economic recession. And during this same period Yelstin was not competent in battling the Chechen Muslim extremists.

Putin came in and with the help of others close to him in government virtually changed everything around. He gave the oligarchs a Mexican style offer they couldn't refuse (though some did). They could keep the money they looted from Russia and go on enjoying their rich and fabulous lives even as millions of Russians endured poverty, some of them little old grandmothers they years ago kicked out of their impoverished apartments and on to the streets to be homeless, with the price of staying out of his way. It would be like Obama telling Chicago major crime figures that looted the black community, that they could go on living rich and fabulous but at the price of staying out of his political DC.

Ultimately, Putin acted harder on oligarchs than the US Government acts on oligarchs. With the US Government they can virtually do whatever they want. And since America is the land where only the rich are celebrated, Americans can be worked up into an emotional fervor hearing about a Russian President championing the people over all Russian oligarchs combined.




Now, suppose Putin did have some journalist killed. And? What? The US not only partnered with Stalin it is partners today with Saudi Arabia.
 
Putin is getting away with it.. And unless the Republican party and the moderates in the GOP grow a pair Trump might too.

When they cheer the body slamming of a reporter asking a question, they are already half way there.

Too broad. Like who?

Political parties and democracy are outlawed in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is run under an absolute monarchy. It is one of the most oppressive countries on earth. Churches, synagogues, Buddhist and Hindu temples are illegal. Even the Bible is illegal in that country. Non-Muslims are barred from citizenship but can live in Saudi Arabia on work visas. Non-Muslims are by law barred from entering the City of Mecca. And a boy that was arrested at age 17 for peacefully demonstrating at a pro-democracy rally in Saudi Arabia stands awaiting the death penalty. He was sentenced to death for disrespecting the Guardian. Is the Guardian Putin? No, the "Guardian" is the King of Saudi Arabia. The boy's method of death planned out is a beheading, then crucifying his body upside down on a cross, then leaving it there publicly for 3 days as a warning and lesson to all others who dare show any disrespect to the King or try to change Saudi Arabia.

That is not Putin. Of course "real Americans" will try to write up fictional images of him to portray him like that and with as much absolute power in Russia.

I would propose to you "real Americans" don't even know what is going on in their own country or own Federal Government let alone what is going on in Russia.




So, that is objective fact, in case example, of the power of the King or monarchy of Saudi Arabia.

And Obama and American liberals are perfectly fine with partnering with the regime of Saudi Arabia. Trump is too.



But why? Well as the IRS and many investigators might say, "follow the money."

This trailer for this outstanding book written by a Canadian who has global experience in the energy investment field provides a little info on why the US has an unholy alliance with Saudi Arabia and why they hate Putin. And revolves around the Petrodollar hypothesis. Has nothing to do with US Government (or "real Americans") "high moral standards."

 
Putin is to today's Left what Saddam was to Dubya

And - OMG - Putin may have WMD! :roll:

Body slamming them should be sufficient in the meantime.

If a report demands war with Russians then he ought at least be willing to do single combatant war against an American politician. Or to put it another way in military leadership terms of never ask your troops to do something you won't do yourself, if you are a reporter and demand a floors on 2 story building be swept, then at least be willing to sweep your tiny cubicle area yourself.

I'm not Republican by the way. I am too fiscally liberal. I'm actually more liberal on somethings than Democrats (e.g., I'm for legalization of prostitution, and at minimum decriminalizing drug use, ending the drug war). I did vote for Trump though hoping he would stand up against tyrannical establishment, an evil and corrupt system itself. But he has sided with them instead it seems.

Putin is greatest leader on the global stage today. He ought be given the Nobel Peace Prize. The United States is run by greedy lunatics, power hungry fanatics, void of any morality whatsoever. Frankly, they are threat not just to humanity on earth but all forms of living species on earth today.





Against the mightiest empire on earth, an empire joined at the hip with ISIS (until they no longer need them then they will wage full out war on them), Vladimir Putin stands loyal in a fire storm with his small, weak, country-friend Syria.



As the leader of Hezbollah points out, Russia fights ISIS, whereas the US and Saudi Arabia armed ISIS and has helped protect ISIS, but will turn their backs on ISIS once they no longer need ISIS.

Jesus said "by their fruits you shall know them."

The fruits of Russia are good. The fruits of the USA are that of absolute treachery. And those around Putin are loyal to him. Those around Trump have no loyalty to him. If I were in the Middle East watching the way Americans back stab and lie around their leader in the White House I would ask myself, "If they do that to each other what would they do to me and my people when a few extra dollars from the other side is offered?"

 
Kill a journalist?

Putin frequently is before audiences in question and answer sessions. An extremely rare thing for American Presidents to do. I guess he looks more radical, crazed, and absolute controlling in this video than the monarchy of Saudi Arabia does with its subjects in Saudi Arabia?

Nice looking young women in the video too. None of the young adults look terrified.


Putin: Anything US touches turns into Libya or Iraq
Published on Aug 29, 2014

Answering questions during a Q&A session at the “Seliger-2014” youth forum, Russian president Vladimir Putin pointed to Iraq and Libya as examples of 'doomed' unilateralism and why such a policy approach makes consensus at UN tough to reach.
 
Your thread title is very misleading and reads like a MSM headline. Did Putin walk up to the guy and shoot him? Were there witnesses? I think you're a reporter for CNN in disguise.

So just to be clear and to put you on record, you really think that Trump is a potential murderer? Really?

I'm happy to see you spot attempts at propaganda. American values--philosophically--mean little if they are only to applied within mainland USA. If gossip and accusations, are insufficient in the USA to condemn individuals (and due process the holy value), then that as an ethical value should extend beyond US geographical boundaries.

One can go to a primary source and critique their words. Isn't this what they do in university. So, for example, do I really only on a secondary source like FOX news to judge Obama or do I go to the primary source of Obama himself?

Likewise, Putin is recorded on video saying many things.

Three examples below. US media often presents Putin in a certain light just as FOX news presented Obama in a certain light. According to mainstream media Putin hates the United States and verbally and militarily attacks the United States. Or attempts to. How? Those are accusations.





(You will see from the title of the video, the secondary source does not exactly recount what the primary source Putin said.)


 
No. All nonsense. But I agree that Putin is a bad man.

First Lady Jackie Kennedy of the Democratic Party one upped you on your accusation of Putin, she accused Martin Luther King Jr. with stronger words, she said he was a "terrible man" you used a milder condemnation for Putin, calling him a "bad man."

(MLK was involved in Christianity himself, he was a Protestant minister doctoral degree in theology, politically active in the USA. Putin is a mere lay Christian of the Russian Orthodox Church. Neither led their country into a theocracy as Saudi Arabia is, that should be pointed out, as every US President has no problem bowing, kissing on cheeks, or holding those theocratic monarchs hands.)




Jackie Kennedy on MLK: 'That man's terrible' - theGrio
Published on Feb 26, 2013

After President John F. Kennedy was killed her wife Jackie Kennedy made Some comments. She recorded a tape and reveal some political facts on those time in seven interviews. Later,Her daughter released tape publicly..Jackie Kennedy on MLK: 'That man's terrible' | theGrio...

Assuming it is the case--assuming that for the moment--that the head of the FBI intentionally tricked or deceived Jackie Kennedy about MLK to turn her against him, then what historical lessons might that provide about granting the head of the FBI or any intelligence community the equivalent absolute power, absolute trust, over the United States (over the President) like the monarchy of Saudi Arabia have in Saudi Arabia?

Putin is the richest man on earth because he is the biggest thief on earth. He stole the riches of the Russian people for himself and his cronies and now he wants to plunder his neighbors too. His assault on democracies world wide is legendary as he attempt to revive the USSR. All who value democracy should hate Putin and pray for his demise.

https://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2017-02-17/vladimir-putin-could-be-worlds-richest-man-with-200-billion-net-worth-report-says

Putin has been desperate to get out from under these sanctions so that his regime can thrive domestically and internationally. His goals appear to be twofold. First, he seeks to restore some form of Russian empire—with at least informal dominion over all the territories of the former Soviet Union—while forcing the West to accept this new balance of power and treat Russia as a superpower once again. Second, he seeks to invert Woodrow Wilson’s famous call to arms and instead “make the world safe for autocracy.” Democracy is his enemy. He is smart enough to know that he cannot undermine it everywhere, but he will subvert, corrupt, and confuse it wherever he can.

And so Putin’s regime has been embarked for some years now on an opportunistic but sophisticated campaign to sabotage democracy and bend it toward his interests, not just in some marginal, fragile places but at the very core of the liberal democratic order, Europe and the United States. As The Telegraph reported in January, Western intelligence agencies have been monitoring a Russian campaign on a Cold War scale to support a wide range of European parties and actors—illiberal parties and politicians of both the far left and far right—that are sympathetic to Russia and Putin. This includes not just newer neo-fascist parties, but anti-immigrant far-right parties like the National Front of France—which obtained a 9 million euro loan from a Russian bank in 2014—and the Freedom Party of Austria, both of which have been gaining popularity for some time.
