I once went to a Russian Orthodox funeral. It is a very interesting experience to say the least.

DId Putin kill him?

 

[Garmel]

It's funny how everybody was concerned about Navalny but didn't give a **** about an American journalist dying in a Ukrainian prison.

DId Putin kill him?

Maybe (probably not).

But he did imprison political opposition so what does it matter whether he poisoned him.

We gave the same **** you people did about Saudia Arabia having an American Journalist dismembered.

Khashoggi wasn't an American citizen.

He was a Bezos employee though. He turned the other cheek in the name of profits

I agree that imprisoning political opposition is a bad thing.

But only after Trump throws Hussein in jail.

Her. Nah not every Russian death is Putin's doing.

What about every Trump win?

Defeat is an orphan while victory has a thousand fathers.

This is especially true of a very close election such as 2016 where you could point to dozens of factors as potentially decisive.

Khashoggi wasn't an American citizen.

He was a journalist for an American Newspaper and lived here. He also didn't break any laws.

And? He wasn't an American citizen so trying to compare the two like you did was silly.

 

[Garmel]

Don't get me wrong. I don't want anyone killed. However, when our government allows an American journalist to be jailed for voicing a dissident opinion in a country that we are financially supporting that is a step too far.

Lesson here is, dont **** around unless you want to find out. Any country in the world that is being invaded is not going to take kindly to anyone going around saying the invaders are justified and spreading propaganda for the invader. Dont act like the guy was an innocent bystander. He chose his path.

The guy in question wasn't a liberal agreeing with the leftist POV so that guy gets what he deserves. This is how Cajun operates.

 

[Garmel]

The rational way of handling this was for Ukraine 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.

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?
