Anti-War Challenger Duntsova Barred From Running Against Russia's Putin
U.S. News ^ | 12/23/2023 | Reuters

Former TV journalist Yekaterina Duntsova was disqualified on Saturday from running against President Vladimir Putin in an election next March because of alleged flaws in her application to register as a candidate.

Video from a meeting of the central electoral commission showed members voting unanimously to reject the candidacy of Duntsova, who had wanted to run on a platform to end the war in Ukraine and release political prisoners.

The head of the electoral commission, Ella Pamfilova, offered words of consolation to Duntsova after her rejection.

"You are a young woman, you have everything ahead of you. Any minus can always be turned into a plus. Any experience is still an experience," Pamfilova said.

The real “flaw” is that she posed a threat to the Patrushev crime family.

“Want to know which Freeper “would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin?” “

That would be me. I’d rather see Ruzzia and every last Ruzzian exterminated in nuclear fire before I’d have the USA yield to Putin.

And take your retread commie “Better Red than dead” crap and go to hell where you belong.

That would not be you. To be precise, while you stipulate "every Ruzzian exterminated," the Freeper included us as America and "the world" be destroyed.

Your notion that every Russian be "exterminated" is aggressive enough and as best I can tell against all the Judeo-Christian traditions of which I am aware, but the notion that "the world" be exterminated is quite another matter. It is murder for all the people of the world.

If you would amend your statement to include "the world"," you would go as far as another Freeper did. Do you? See the USA destroyed, in order to "win?"

If the choice were to surrender to Ruzzia and Putin or destroy the world it’s just not a choice. Where’s the button?

Biden has it in the moment.

So Russia’s basically just doing the same thing that Colorado is?

The Democrats copy Putin’s playbook.

It was interesting, and yielded the splendid quote, "That would be me. I'd rather see Ruzzia and every last Ruzzian exterminated in nuclear fire before I'd have the USA yield to Putin."

One degree more restrained than the insane "I would rather the world end in nuclear war than yield to Little Pukin."

Solid evidence that some FR neocons are now well past Liz Cheney and into "destroy the world for a foreign policy goal" camp.

My advice to the young lady is to stay out of tall buildings.

Well that’s dumb. Didn’t Roman Empires do all that? Most Chinese or Asian Empires?

So really, shouldn’t you be claiming that Nazi Germany was a Roman State? Or something like that?

What's going to be REALLY interesting is when the USA does have to "yield to The Putin".

There going to be a handful of freepers who are strick with a stroke.

--- "What's going to be REALLY interesting is when...."

It is fascinating that so many Freepers are, in the moment, overheated to the point of quasi-murderous rage at someone simply disagreeing with them.

As with the photos of Churchill, FDR and Stalin sitting together quite a number of times, whatever the details of the actual outcome of the Ukraine/Russia war, it is assured that none can foresee in any granular detail the future.

But in these last months and threads, with some telling me to "go to hell," and others wishing for the world to be destroyed if a foreign policy of their choosing is not achieved, I come to conclude that there are some very uninformed, neocon and neolib loudmouths on FR.

Recall an exchange with dullards who thought your moniker was Slavic or Russian, when in fact it is from the Tolkien opus? Some Freepers prove themselves ever more uninformed, rude and contemptuous. And definitely not conservative Americans.

Best wishes.
