Putin is sleaze, his forces shot down an airliner. Are you meaning to compare Trump and Putin?

I have no recollection of journalists being killed in this country, I’m sure it has happened at some time.

It goes to show, Russia is more like Mexico or Turkey.

Anti-Putin journalists seem to have a shortened life expectancy.

Russia’s a dump like Mexico, the putinistas would have us believe Ukraine wants to belong to putin and his cronies.

Nope, comparing the ‘journalists’, although I do doubt that the Russian ‘journalists’ are nearly as bad as their US counterparts.

Arkadiy Babchenko’s murder: Family had seven children, six of them fostered

“The blogger posted that Babchenko family took these children from foster homes. All of them are children with special needs.”

Russia, North Korea, no freedom of press, throw in Turkey on that. How dare someone compare the leader of the free world to the leader of the unfree world.

I wasn’t aware Seth Rich was a journalist. I’d like to see the count of journalists killed under Putin compared to journalists killed in the USA over the past 50 years. Don’t try to sugar coat this, comparing apples to oranges. It seems to be a diversionary tactic to throw this garbage in a thread.

I’m not sure what point you were trying to make, but it turns out the guy faked his own death.
