“The EU collectively imposed sanctions on Russia.
Bulgaria is in the EU. They took part in that decision.
Let them face the consequences.”
Bulgaria joined EU sanctions on Russia, but opposed sending arms and banning energy imports.
“I see Europeans poor and disappointed in future and it is a security risk.”
I know you see Europe as a security risk to Russia, so you should welcome a “poor and disappointed” Europe.
Not really. It is going to result in the rise of the right which of course is going to be primarily anti-American, but I don’t expect them to be pro-Russian either. Also wealthy and stable Europe is good for business.
“Also wealthy and stable Europe is good for business.”
My God! We actually agree on something!
Biden and swamp disagree.
“Biden and swamp disagree.”
I don’t think I’ve ever been in agreement with Biden and the swamp.
The problem is that you don’t affect the policies, they do. And based on our exchange they are able to manipulate your opinion just great.
“The problem is that you don’t affect the policies, they do. And based on our exchange they are able to manipulate your opinion just great.”
Ah, I see. Just because you and I have a profound disagreement on the Russian aggression against Ukraine, you automatically assume I’ve been manipulated by Joe Biden and the swamp? So, anyone who disagrees with you is by default a stooge of Biden and the swamp? That is the kind of logic that was prevalent during the days of the Soviet Union; and, I assume, it has carried over to today’s Russia, with a few notable exceptions. Which explains a lot.
Tell me, what do you think of Navalny?
Nope, only if you are retelling their talking points.
Navalny is a crook and a symbol of failure of American influence in Russia. He is a failed stock broker who then specialized in greenmail as a minority investor. Then his friend Belikh was elected into Kirov governor and put Navalny in charge of forestry where he transferred the client base of the state agency to a shell company which was selling the free government timber, Navalny and his friend privatized profits and nationalized the running costs. Then he and his brother defrauded the French cosmetic giant. His brother as a manager at Russian Post withheld their parcels claiming they have no resources to timely deliver them and Navalny persuaded them to pay to another shell company to solve it.
When the feds were about to get Navalny, the CIA brought him to Yale and returned as an “opposition leader” except he is more popular in the West whereas in Russia polls at around 6% on a good day.
He produced some “anti-corruption” investigations, most of them plagiarized from the police reports or outright phony which is a sort of funny for a thief like him.
His last conviction is over stealing the campaign donations. He did collect millions for a “campaign” he didn’t run, spending the money for houses in France and Florida, and other stuff like this.
What should I think about a guy like this?
So, who do you think poisoned him — or ordered his poisoning — with the Novichok nerve agent?
There is someone in Russia who has been associated with such poisonings in the past. The name will come to me...Vlad...yes, that’s it...Vlad something-or-other. Vlad Pudding? Is that it? Something like that.
What are the evidence of poisoning at all? Originally he was diagnosed with the low sugar level, the German lab ALLEGEDLY has found the traces of cholinesterase inhibitor in his system and that is all. It can be a nerve agent or a prescription drug. No traces were found on his clothes or in the hotel room.
There is a video available from plane where he fell ill. His behavior was more typical to psychoactive drug overdose.
Interesting. He must have caught the same bug as Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia Skripal. Maybe something in the tea. Oh, wait: That was Alexander Litvinenko...HE had the “bug” in the tea. Strong bug, too; full of radiation. I wonder if it glowed?
All these people are nobodies. Litvinenko’s MI6 handler is also a biochemist by coincidence.
There are real Putin’s foes like Khodorkovsky and he is alive for some reason. Why so?
“All these people are nobodies.”
Well, they sure as hell were SOMEBODIES to those who had them poisoned. You are so dismissive of them, as if they are just pieces of dust, to be swept away without a second thought. You are soulless.
You know what I mean. I don’t believe that Navalny was poisoned. Such an idiot in opposition leaders is beneficial to Putin. Skripals was poisoned by MI6 if they were poisoned for real because nobody heard from them. Litvinenko is MI6 or suicide.
I saw that EU called this “blackmail” so help me understand:
when EU bans import of Russian oil that is “economic sanctions” but when Russian refuses to export gas that is “blackmail”
So, you’re blaming it on the Brits? Poisoning is a Russian tool. When the Brits want someone gone, that someone generally just disappears. The Brits are more...nuanced.
