How are the treatment of two any different it’s a little hypocritical of someone when you are doing the exact same thing.

Funny thing is I can criticize Trump's treatment AND Navalny's. Your the one that has this crazy idea that we are not permitted to comment about Navalny.srmanuel, more evidence that we are interacting with a 'bot. No where in your posts do I see you saying we are 'not permitted to comment about Navalny'. I do, however, see you rightfully commenting on the hypocrisy, when we are travelling down the same paths.
'Bots are unable to make such distinctions.

Why are you arguing with a ‘bot? That’s just silly. I’m going off to do something productive, instead.

It is equivalent to the rapist who is just beginning in his career, criticizing the long-term habitual rapist for his sexual assaults. How about criticizing both? Saying our US system has faults is a reason we can't criticize despots in Russia or China is moronic.

Once again this tlozo 'bot states incorrectly that I am saying we CAN'T criticize Russia. It cannot tell the difference between pointing out hypocrisy and demanding a cessation of discussion.

How are the treatment of two any different
if you criticize any Western leader like Biden, Trump, Trudeau, etc. in their country, you don't get killed
if you criticize Putin in Russia, you get thrown out a window
(*and we've seen multiple examples so far*)
that's the difference

I’m sitting here waiting for the NFL game to come on at 9:30am Eastern, I had nothing better to do than battle a couple of bots.

Or, more likely, the globalists will use slightly more subtle means to the same end.

Perhaps you’re right, I was bored this morning and wanted to battle a bot for a few minutes.
Sometimes you can break them.

--- "Americans criticizing Russia for unfair elections and a weaponized judicial system is the height of hypocrisy."
While Russia jails a political opponent, one finds:
Ukraine suspends 11 political parties with links to Russia Guardian UK, 20 March 2022Zelensky nationalizes TV news and restricts opposition parties The Week, via Yahoo, 20 March 2022
And here....
"Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, former leader of the right-wing extremist group Proud Boys, was sentenced to 22 years in prison...."
These Jan. 6 rioters received the longest sentences so far Axios, 5 September 2023
"Some 378 individuals have been sentenced to periods of incarceration over their involvement in the January 6, 2021, uprising at the U.S. Capitol in the 32 months since the attempted overthrow of the 2020 election certification took place, the District of Columbia's attorney's office said on Wednesday."
Full List of Capitol Rioters Jailed So Far and the Sentences They Are Serving
And then....
Turkey, a NATO member, one observes....
Turkish court sentences Erdogan rival to jail with political ban
So many more instances of governments acting against citizens, that "let's find the one in the white hat" is a fool's game.
" Americans criticizing Russia for unfair elections and a weaponized judicial system is the height of hypocrisy.

Putin also assassinates anybody who doesn’t fully agree with him
like Litvinenko and the radioactive Polonium
Western countries don’t do that, Russian apologist
To: canuck_conservative
Ashley Babbit would beg to differ but she’s dead, she’s probably sitting in heaven talking about this with JFK, RFK and Martin Luthur King who all got killed for their political beliefs and actions.
Looks pretty much the same to me.

JFK took a bullet to the head over his political actions and beliefs and the government covered it up.
Martin Luthur King got a little to uppity for the establishment and he took a bullet to the head as well.
You could go all the way back to Abraham Lincoln who took a bullet to the back of his head for his actions as POTUS.
Political assassination is all too familiar to many Americans.

of course, because you like apologizing for Putin
btw, Ashley Babbit wasn't an opposition candidate, nor was MLK
see, that's the difference between Putin's gangster-state Russia and Western countries ... Putin kills opponents, we don't
To: canuck_conservative
We could always go with George Wallace, the Democratic Party couldn’t allow a racist segregationist from Alabama to be the nominee, so someone put a bullet into him, especially after he won the Democratic Primary in Michigan.
