The Clinton’s have more in common with Putin than they want us to know. It’s just a Putin Arkancide this time.

If Trump critics started going “BOOM”, would we complain?

Next time Hillary or Tim Kaine bring up Putin’s dead people in association with Trump’s referral to Putin there should be some push back. Compare the Clinton’s lengthy body count list with the two for Putin.

On this subject, the MSM-- left and right-- is as rational as BLM protesters and equally given to conspiracy and hyperbolic statements. Like Megyn Kelly last night calling Putin a dictator thug and making reference to the shooting assassination of Anna Politkovskaya in2006. Is she paid to promote this? What kind of ghetto BLM ratiocination does it take to think Putin wanted Politkovskaya, who was a long-time critic of his, dead, and was just waiting for the right opportunity and finally had some underworld Chechens loosely connected to the FSB assassinate Politkovskaya? Yeah, makes perfect sense. Russian forces and FSB had her detained in Chechnya five years prior, but it would too suspicious to take her out in a hot war zone when no one was around. So Putin waited for the opportune time years later for a less suspicious circumstances, and gunned her down outside a busy Moscow apartment. A no-brainer. Oh yeah, and the Chechen they arrested, with the help of Belgian police, it was just a well-orchestrated distraction involving paid Belgian national security people.

The more I read and hear the more I'm beginning to wonder if all those crackpots who said fluoride in the water was a CIA mind control project were on to something. Or maybe I'm not a good psy-ops subject, like I'm not a good hypnotism subject?

Putin uses car bombs to eliminate political enemies. Typical Russian solution. Low tech. Cheap. Effective.

Hillary uses drones to eliminate political enemies. Typical American solution. High tech. Expensive. Effective.

Dealing with your critics the old fashioned way... Stalin would be proud of Vlad, then again so would Vlad Dracula.

Hell yes I would complain, political violence has always been comparatively rare here. Once you start using violence against political opponents, you drag this country to banana republic territory.

We are a better country that that garbage. I want Hillary and her ilk defeated and alive to see all their hard work undone and rejected by the American people.

Coincidence? Not a very big one. I wouldn’t want to be hated by Putin, and Russia and Georgia are frozen in a state of war against each other over South Ossetia.

On the other hand, there’s corruption and murder all over the place. Targamadze helped organize the Maidan in Ukraine, and coordinated the overthrow of Kyrgystan’s president. Both of those actions were certainly counter-Russian, but both can make you very hated by a lot of other people. People involved the Kyrgyz Tulip Revolution were dropping like flies about a decade ago.

While that revolution was in opposition to a Russian-friendly government, much of the violence seems to be linked to inter-faction conflict among the supporters of the revolution, which included actual reformers, old-line communists, radical jihadis, including Chechnyan terrorists, and simply organized criminals. Sorta like Syria. Russia sides with Assad, but that doesn’t mean that everyone who kills someone who is anti-Assad did so Assad’s behalf; there’s ISIS, Al Qaeda, Kurds, allegedly “moderate Muslims,” all killing each other.

It was a conversation starter for a debate with the Clinton campaign. She would have to defend her body count against Putin’s.

Just so you know how despicable your comment is, Syria is 12% Christian. Not that it’s any less tragic when a Muslim is skinned alive or forced to kill his own parents.
