The rational way of handling this was to get the reporter out of the country and back to the U.S. instead of acting like how Russia operates.

Our country let one of its own citizens die in a foreign prison because of wrongthink.

In the same situation here it would get the same consequences. He lived in Ukraine, he wasnt an American journalist visiting to cover the war.

Doesn't matter if he lived in Ukraine. He should have been deported and our administration should have insisted upon it.

[cajunrevenge]

We got enough pro-Russia propogandists as is. I would however have supported deporting him to Russia.

[Garmel]

lol. You accuse thethe of saying crazy stuff.

You'll defend those liberal terrorists in Atlanta to the end.

However, if it's someone who doesn't share your POV you quickly become a fascist piece of garbage.

[cajunrevenge]

The classic fascist tactic of not give two ****s about aholes who move to a foreign country and support the county invading them.

[Garmel]

lol.

An American citizen who deserves what he gets for wrongthink. Thank you for confirming that.

[cajunrevenge]

Whats the old Republican line, "if you cant do the time dont do the crime"

[Garmel]

lol

What makes you so phony on all of this, Cajun is if a US citizen that was in Russia was arrested for pro-Ukrainian views you wouldn't have this FAFO bull****.

I find Lira's pro-Russian stuff to be trash but he was an American citizen who didn't deserve to die in a foreign prison.

You think Ukraine should be cool with a guy supporting the invaders and spreading their propaganda? How is what they did to him any different than what we did here to people supporting Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan during WW2?

I don’t think people should be imprisoned for speech.

[cajunrevenge]

Threats, lying under oath,etc, are all just speech. Ukraine is fighting for it's survival. You are crazy if you think supporting the invaders wouldn't get your ass thrown in jail here too if we were invaded by Russia or China.

Russia ain't fighting a defensive war. This is the equivalent of a pro nazi American citizen in England being thrown in prison during WW2. I got no sympathy for them.

I would oppose arresting people for speech in this country too.

False equivalency. Russians aren't Nazis and there are a lot more Nazis in Ukraine than in Russia. One thing I've learned the last few years is that Ukraine isn't the good guy like I naively believed at first. Ukraine and Russia are both rotten kleptocracies. We only care about Ukraine because the elite in this country use it as their money laundering playground.

Glad to see that libertarianism can be accompanied by a foreign policy that resolutely and forcefully opposes actual for real tyranny and aggression against a weaker neighbor.

Pretty sure theres more people who self identify as Nazis here than anywhere else. Glad we are getting down to the truth that you side with Putin. Wtf did Ukraine do to be the bad guys exactly? They were invaded. How dare them.

[Garmel]

lololol

So now I side with Putin because I don't follow the official narrative. Both sides in this war are ****.

It's amazing how weak-minded people such as yourself can be so easily propagandized. In fact, you're so brainwashed you don't give a **** about an American who died while in the custody of the "good guys" because he didn't think properly in your view.

CajunRetard strikes again.

[cajunrevenge]

Tell me more about how the Earth is flat.

[Garmel]

lol
