Alexei Navalny, the one Putin's "KGB" poisoned but survived, made a heroic statement this week about integrity and conscience and total lack of justice in Russia at his arraignment for new charges by Putin's regime. Read it and see how it resonates wherever tyrants reign.

Is he a real dissident or an Emmanuel Goldstein?

Russia in the post-Soviet era could have used Japan post-WWII as an example to follow, towards real demoncracy, prosperity and success without empire and without belligerant imperial ways towards neigbors and former Soviet states. That was not Putin’s vision.

This amazing expose’ “Putin the Thief” is very informative with moments of skilled satire. Well worth the read. Make your own comparisons with “fearless leaders” (nod to Rocky and Bullwinkle!) in your country wherever you live.

"Everyone in America knows that he who seeks justice in court is completely defenseless. Such a person should abandon all hope. After all, if their case has reached the courts, then there is no power behind that person. Because in a country ruled by a criminal, disputes are resolved by bargaining, authority, bribery, deceit, betrayal, and other real-life mechanisms, not by some kind of law."

fixed it.

Ask President Trump, and the hapless victims of the January 6th FBI riot at the capitol.

Kiryandil, This is not about the USA, it is about your beloved and criminally corrupt neo-Soviet Russian dystopia.

But, yeah... “LOOK OVER HERE!!! DON’T LOOK AT THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!!”

Read through Navalny’s complaints about how he lost elections due to corrupt vote counters, oddly placed ballot-scanners, midnight ballot deliveries. And then read how the Russian deep-state used lawfare to harass his associates, his lawyers, and eventually him - and put him in prison.

Its like the Democrats and US deep state borrowed the playbook from Putin and his United Party.

To ask for my sympathy and ask for US support is just furthering the corruption. The propaganda about Ukraine/Russia are just a front for more oppression and corruption here in the USA.

Looks like part of the Ukrainian army surrender today... where did the money go?... why are we out of ammunition for our own military?... are we being set up?... why are the chips we need manufactured in China...? how did we get into war without declaring war? Why are there thousands of Chinese males crossing our border on the south why did the Chinese start mandatory testosterone 10 years ago in China for all the males? Why is nobody talking about the 320 million potential female call up army of the China?
Why did Republicans and Democrats take part in Sequoia which used US poet pension funds to invest in military AI company of China?

To be fair, I had much the same thought.

They're ALL corrupt.

Your "Russher blinders" prevent you from seeing it.

And by the way - eff your guy Navalny.

He's a tool of "Cookies" Nuland and the rest of the Swampnik regime change crowd.

“why did the Chinese start mandatory testosterone 10 years ago in China for all the males?”

Because they want their young men to die of prostate cancer, male breast cancer, congestive heart failure, stroke, diabetes, kidney failure, pancreatic cancer, pulmonary blood clots, or liver failure.

Plus I suppose the Chinese military prefers their soldiers to have balls the size of raisins.

“And by the way - eff your guy Navalny.”

A little butt hurt for getting called out on trying to troll the discussion to a different subject?

I’ll consider that a bonus!
