“Ukraine Jails US Commentator Gonzalo Lira for Speaking Uncomfortable Facts”

As long as Ukraine (or Biden, for that matter) is willing to jail people who disagree with the working narrative, what’s the downside?

A Chilean Communist pretending to be an American. I’m surprised he wasn’t arrested a long time ago.

Sure…I was trying to explain to my brother the other night that propaganda doesn’t have to be an outright lie.

Heck, advertising is propaganda. Although it actually does lie.

By the way, this means everyone who played along or was taken in while he lied about being in Kharkiv, is going to take a hit on their credibility. This includes Berletic.

Just like the fake Ukrainian "Donbass Devushka", "Coach Red Pill" had followers here on FR that used him as if he was a legit source. The moron deserves everything he gets.

Excellent news. Good to see the Ukrainians denazifying their country of Russian Nazi occupiers and their fellow travelling useful idiots.

No surprise. I’ve noticed a lot of pro-Russia “conservatives” following socialist and communist sources to reinforce their points. A freeper actually posted a link to an editorial on the “World Socialist Website” the other day to support their claim. Marxist Conservatives. Who saw that coming?

Their hatred of our current regime has led them to embrace a bunch of leftist America haters, just like many on the left suffering from TDS will tolerate any violation of the law or suppression of civil rights by the regime here to oppose Trump.

Sorts prosecutors are paid with US taxes, including the prosecutors in Ukraine. Don’t ever forget you are the one footing the bill for this malarkey.

“He was actually living in the Netherlands.”

The article didn’t say that so how was he arrested for a Ukrainian law if he wasn’t in the Ukraine. Did he just travel in to do articles and then split? He doesn’t seem to catch on about foreign laws if he was stupid enough to go to a place where he was going to be arrested for doing what he did.

See the thread in #10, and my first comment. I pieced this together from elsewhere. In order to get arrested in Ukraine, he had to go back there. My guess is he recently went back to and was arrested shortly afterwards. Why he would go back to a country where his arrest is assured is beyond me.

I came the conclusion early on the more popular people siding with Russia had issues. Lira is a prime example of this. This is not to say the mainstream news is a beacon of honesty either.

He was in his home in Kharkiv, where he moved to several years ago and married a Ukrainian. That’s where he was arrested.

“For most of the last year he was actually in the Netherlands while pretending he was live streaming from Kharkiv.”

Just like some here are pretending to be Americans.

“In exchange he was given a choice between house arrest and prosecution after the war, or leaving the country.”

That disappointing. Anyone working for the genocidal rus nazi regime should be destroyed without any mercy.

Them freedom loving Ukrainians are a lot like the current fascist scumbags running our government. They will imprison their critics because they are afraid of the truth.
