>Mikhail Lesin, co-founder of the Russian government-controlled news outlet “Russia Today” (RT), which the FR Putinistas often link to in their threads, was found dead in a Wash DC hotel in November 2015.
>Word is he had had a falling out with Putin and was about to become an informer, a ‘snitch’. Putin’s Russia is very much like the Mafia.
>RT (Russia Today) and the other Moscow-controlled media outlets reported at the time that there were no signs of foul play—that he died of a heart attack.
>However, when the autopsy report came out 4 months later (Mar 2016) it was revealed that he actually died of blunt force trauma to the head, neck and torso.
>Whether Putin had him murdered or not is not clear. However, just the way that these state-run media outlets in Russia operate is cause enough for alarm. Check out below how this guy, under Putin’s direction, seized control of Russia’s once independent news outlets.
So you’re saying that Putin killed a guy who turned traitor against Russia? Wouldn’t you want the same from us against people who turn traitor against the US? In fact have a policy to drone such people to death.
First, I said Putin MAY have ordered his assassination. Second, if he in fact did have him murdered it would likely have been to prevent him from spilling the beans on Putin. Third, when are you Putin defenders/apologists ever going to get it into your heads that the guy runs an evil expansionist dictatorship. His goal is to basically restore the Soviet Union and then-some with positions in the Middle East and again in Latin America.. He is allied with the worst of the worst regimes on earth, many still communist or hard left. Obviously islamo-nazi as well (Iran), etc.
