Gee...sounds just like the USA.

There are many parties in Russia and the Communist Party is alive and well. Life before Putin was a disaster.

The protesters will likely get an all expense paid working vacation to Siberia. It worked for the Tsars and the Bolsheviks. Putin will likely follow the long established Russian precedent.

I found it of mild interest because he seemed to indicate that last time there were protests (6mos ago) they were fairly large and he got arrested just by filming it.

He spoke a little of how government tries to create fear so that there are no protests.

He doesn’t seem to think that he will be drafted because he doesn’t have any military experience, he lives there and I’m sure he knows more than me but I am less confident than he is.

I also have doubts that it was a ‘line of movie vans’ at the river that he was walking past. (I also wonder if he was saying something w/o saying something)

I always like to see what’s happening on the streets no matter the point of view, I think I can form better opinions with more information.

It’s not like we have many western journalists on the ground and they lie just about as much as the commie propagandists.

Anyhow, it popped up in my yooutube choices and I thought others might also be interested— I’m not pushing any particular agenda or narrative.

“Gee...sounds just like the USA.”

There’s the door, you’re free to leave anytime.

“So now it’s “Delusional”?”

Yes, if you think some targeted vote fraud in Democrat strongholds in five states is the same as top-to-bottom rigged Soviet “elections”, then you are delusional.

“Let’s just keep the Bolsheviks out of it this time. “

They are tied up at the moment working in our US schools, universities and government .

Pay no attention to The Booger.

He was wrong about Trump in 2016 [a die-hard Cruzer, still on Ted Island in June of 2016, fighting for the glorious Tedlim Imperial Army, long after the surrender].

Now, he's upgraded his Free Republic OS to "Wrong about The Ukraine".

Angry neoconneds gonna anger.

“Yes, dozens of people were seen protesting - in a city of 13 MILLION” It’s a bit more impressive when you understand that they are subject to imprisonment for protesting.

The rest all made a run for the border. In theory, every Russian has a right to emigrate.

Irkutsk Anarchist Telegram channel?

In other words, the Antifa of Russia, which occurring to those with Russian Derangement Syndrome, shouldn't even exist because Russia isn't a free country.

“The Russian Revolution started in 1905, it took 12 years to finish.”

I feel it some days, but I’m not that old.

Why are you pushing that fake picture of Zelensky?

Don’t be leading freepers to think it is real.

It’s going to have to be the military that does something about it.

“So Russians have greater rights to protest than Canadian truckers?”

And Americans who protest Democrats steeling elections, as apposed to Democrats protesting what they think are stolen elections. That’s ok!

What a pleasant message. We need more of this type of discourse these days. People, including myself, could learn nicer behavior from a post like yours. I admit to often firing off “gotcha” posts, simply to get a reaction. Thank you for providing a good model of behavior.

Yes sir, our biggest enemy of the time was wobbling, ready to fall and we cut them a cash deal.

A similar thing also happened when the Chinese were in the streets wanting Liberty, and we responded with treating them with most favored status.

🤔...pretty sure the guy standing next to Zelenski is his current top advisor Oleksiy Arestovych.
