    Hi Mr. Local Area Man. Funny of you to show up in yet another thread claiming that Russia is being preyed upon by the west again.

        Hey man, I’m just saying, maybe Putin shouldn’t have orchestrated apartment bombings, sold former soviet assets to oligarchs, own several luxurious properties throughout your country, had political dissidents and opponents assassinated (inside and outside of Russia) took extreme efforts to install pro-Putin leaders in other countries, make all displays of LGBTQ pride and education illegal, control the entire media system, and not relinquish power ever.

          Let’s say your wildest accusations against this foreign Emuel Goldstein boogieman were true. You’re saying that the West wouldn’t want to destroy Russia and take all their shit? As if. Everything you accuse Russia of doing is true for America or the dictatorships we foster. We’re currently arming over 80% of all dictatorships. The only difference is that they’re willingly giving us their natural resources.

          Weird how no one talks about Venezuela anymore. That propaganda sure dried up quick after they turned over their oil fields to corporations.

            Like I said the last time we spent a week in a thread going back and forth, I can do this forever. You know I can.

            You already established you aren’t American, and CERTAINLY aren’t culturally progressive. You claim it, every single time, say “we’re doing x.” “We do x.” You don’t even realize you’re on a European instance do you?

            I didn’t claim Russia was doing SHIT this time. I merely responded that you claim Russia is a victim of the west.

            Putin, and his Kremlin are the problem for Russians. Vladamir Putin, specifically.

            The rest of the world worries about Russians because of what Putin has done to them to enrich himself.

              The rest of the world?

              And even then, that’s just Western oligarchs dictating policies we have no say in.

              What happens when you ask the people who the biggest threat is?

              You’re a minority within a minority, lapping up lies from the Epstein Billionaire Class.

                And that’s the part I find funny. You simply cannot comprehend, or allow, that because I dissent from not just the current regime, but most administrations of the U.S., that I must be eating up the propaganda.

                Its not even odd to you is it? The U.S.A currently has a very pro-Putin regime. Yet the U.S.A is doing exactly what you are pointing out.

                I mean, fuck, the Trump family has made significant money IN Russia. The Kremlin, the sole authority in Russia could stop that cash in an instant. Why don’t they?

                But I mention the cruelty of Putin, and you get all bent out of shape. Putin is a victim of western propaganda.

                Do you need a list I have of 64 people who the Kremlin successfully assassinated? Or just the ones within Russia?
