U.S. President Barack Obama on Friday condemned the "brutal murder" of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, and called for a full investigation into the killing.

"The United States condemns the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov, and we call upon the Russian government to conduct a prompt, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of his murder and ensure that those responsible for this vicious killing are brought to justice," Obama said in a statement.

One suspects that this tough-sounding-but-everyone-knows-better statement might be the extent of our involvement.

lol..
You’re one lying troll.

The pic you put up is of a captured RIGHT SECTOR fighter from last summer.

The same guy was on the internet just weeks before claiming he was going to kill every ethnic Russian Ukrainian he could find.

Vodkas all around

Obama is controlled by the KGB via his Iranian handler Jarrett.

His outrage is BS.

Chelyabinsk women are awesome.

So tell your EuroMaidan paymasters that you got caught lying. AGAIN...

I can prove you're the liar this time (and it's ordinarily hard to prove you're a liar because the only provable lies are always personal-- but those are provable only to the person being lied about), because this is not the first time you've tried to disprove this evidence of Russian/Islamist atrocity in Ukraine, and you are giving the exact opposite assertions now. I know I keep pestering the mods about this, but I'm telling ya, begging you, to seriously monitor what kind of posts Tcrlaf is making and realize he is not an ordinary poster. I repeat this over and over again because he has lied even personally about Freepers (but which is hard to prove), for example, falsely claiming I and others have said this or that embarrassing thing in other threads, none of which was ever true.

Returning to the topic at hand, and please see the context of this post, looking at your (Tcrlaf's) links, they don't claim any of the information you claim they do. Your link has this picture, which will be useful in disproving your assertions:

The man on the left is called "Doberman," (you know this already-- because the last time you tried to disprove this photograph of Russian atrocity, you claimed that "Doberman," the man you claimed was tied to the tree, was a Nazi and mass murderer, and thus deserved to be tortured as in the photo I posted) or so goes his nickname. Here is the original thread in which you made this claim:

"You likely don’t know that the guy in your pick, wrapped in plastic, is a Right Sector fighter known as “Doberman”"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3200941/replies?c=36

Here is an interview with the famous "Doberman" by Radio Free Europe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ffsvXQHi5k

At the time I had mistakenly assumed that the Islamist's name was Doberman, because I misunderstood the title of a video the Islamist had made of himself bragging in Chechen that he had killed Doberman; in my research to disprove your claim (I get smarter every time you come up with some random lie), I had found numerous claims that Doberman was dead, and I connected it with the photo of this man who kept appearing whenever I googled "Doberman". So I assumed the Muslim WAS Doberman. But, in fact, Doberman is the Georgian, as you yourself properly asserted almost one year ago. Unfortunately, the video in which the Islamist was bragging about catching Doberman for the bounty is gone (this Georgian volunteer in Ukraine has a one million dollar on his head, which is why Russians keep claiming he is dead), but this picture of him in his Russian uniform remains:

And here is a photograph comparing Doberman and the victim on the left, disproving the Chechen's claims that the man he captured was the infamous Doberman with the one million bounty:

Thus this proves that you understood the original context of this photograph and the accompanying video, which bragged about the murder of a "Right-sector Nazi" in order to claim a Russian bounty.

The beauty about this guy named Doberman-- whom you originally were quick to justify the murder of-- is that the Russkies actually hacked his personal computer and broadcasted his Skype conversations with his sponsor... in Israel. The "Nazi" in fact was depending on Georgian Jews who were helping him financially. Unfortunately the original video has since been taken down from You Tube, and all I can find is this video, but it lacks an English translation:

You must remember that the Russian propaganda line is that Ukraine is run by NAZI jews. This propaganda came straight from Moscow before the protests even started.

Russian reporters have admitted that there was no NAZI presence at the protests but they were told by the Kremlin to report it.

Here is another link which shows you actually being shown that picture disproving that the victim was Doberman (and that Doberman was a Nazi and therefore deserved to be tortured by an Islamist): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3200941/posts?q=1&;page=61#61

In fact, you were the one who showed me the video of the real Doberman-- which you falsely claimed proved he was a Nazi-- even while the Russian posters themselves were accusing Doberman of being a Jewish agent, as I mentioned in my response.

It is, therefore, not abnormal for you to call people a liar, and then claim that material in links or videos contain information that it they don't actually have.

Oh, and to clarify one last thing (some of my post looked incoherent in retrospect, since I got too excited with remembering I had already proven beyond any reasonable doubt you were full of it), the victim in my original photo is unknown, possibly just a Ukrainian soldier. The reference Tcrlaf makes to someone “bragging” they’re going to kill all the Russkies they can get is to the infamous “Doberman,” the same claim Tcrlaf made months ago, who, by the way, only meant he’d kill Russkie soldiers. Oh, and this infamous Georgian is alive and well, and apparently makes YouTube videos periodically making fun of Russkies.

All of this, as I said, was proven to Tcrlaf before.

The opposition in Russia has no money, no media (all Putin-controlled)

Anyone who thinks there is even a chance at a free and fair election in Russia is a fool.

There will be no bad press in Russia for Putin even if he opens gulags and starts throwing in all the dissenters.

Khodorkovsky is in exile in Switzerland because he doesn’t want to be shot dead in the streets

Do you really think he can’t get shot in Switzerland if one really wants it?

As for Navalny, I am sure they will get around to killing him. They have framed him numerous times and sentenced him to prison on bogus charges more than once.

Sending his brother to prison was definitely one more warning for him to shut up.
