“Violent fantasy now, as well, eh??

It cannot hardly be described as a fantasy for a metaphor, because it is an accurate description of how your Putin’s Russia treats dissenters who dare to speak out against Putin’s regime or simply end up being assassinated or murdered execution style.

It is also an accurate insofar as you have a habit of coming into FR threads to defend Putin’s Russia and/or change the subject to something critical of the United States and U.S. allies. When you attempt to change the subject like that you typically employ what Wkipedia describes as follows:

Tu quoque [1] Latin for “you, too” or “you, also”) or the appeal to hypocrisy is an informal logical fallacy that intends to discredit the opponent’s position by asserting the opponent’s failure to act consistently in accordance with that position. It attempts to show that a criticism or objection applies equally to the person making it. This attempts to dismiss opponent’s position based on criticism of the opponent’s inconsistency and not the position presented.[2] It is a special case of ad hominem fallacy, which is a category of fallacies in which a claim or argument is rejected on the basis of fact about the person presenting or supporting the claim or argument.[3] To clarify, although the person being attacked might indeed be acting inconsistently or hypocritically, such behavior does not invalidate the position presented.

“Sorry your propaganda try got quashed by the facts yet again, but there ya have it.”

In your fantasies only.

While you are shilling paid propaganda about Ukraine, it looks like it may soon become a THREE-WAY CIVIL WAR.

Kolomoisky is calling for Nationwide Demonstrations against Kiev for Saturday.
And Yarosh has already said Right Sector won’t follow Poroshenko’s orders.
