This is from his Twitter:

Moscow’s Luzhniki stadium, which hosted the World Cup final in 2018, is packed out for a pro-war rally on the anniversary of Russia’s Crimea annexation. Lots of reports of state employees being bussed in. They’re watching a video with Ukrainian flags being thrown to the ground

Do you think that they should ban their elected цар from the media?

 

And how do you explain that they “без царя в голове» have achieved such development and progress after they were nearing a state bankruptcy 30 years ago, despite the numerous sanctions?  (they have got more sanctions that all other sanctioned countries cumulated)?  

 

And, at end of the day, supplying and forwarding to space the sanctioning powers (not only by gas and oil)   

 He was not elected. It was proved many times that the presidential and parliamentary elections in Russia were totally rigged. Putin was supposed to stay in power for 8 years at max. He then played with the law and put his puppet Medvedev in power for 4 years, then changed the constitution to be a president for 12 more years. And then, when even this was not enough, he changed the constitution again, now letting him to stay in power until he dies.  Elections??? There cannot be fair elections when there is no freedom of press and there where separation of powers does not exist.

You do love your conspiracy theory rubbish.

 

Mariupol is not under Russian Control. its still in the hands of Ukraine although as we know they are bombing it indiscriminately killing civilians.

 Yes, Russia was in the big economic crisis during the 90-s. And then there happened a steady recovery in the beginning of 2000s. The answer about why this occurred is quite simple: just look at the prices of the main Russia’s exports. While in 90s it was close 10$ per barrel, in the time of Putin’s rule it increased tenfold on average. Russian propaganda still attributes this economic shift to the Putin‘s patriotic stance and other kind of similar BS when, in fact, it was just a pure macroeconomic luck. Still, even with the sky rocket gas and oil price - Russian economy is weak and highly corrupted. Not many real new industries were created during the last 20 years, but instead, trillions of dollars were stolen from the Russian people and transferred to the western bank accounts. The most recent actions of the Kremlin, testify, more than anything else, about the inevitable bankruptcy of the so called putinomics.

Correct, Mariupol is not under Russian Control, so how could they "have hostages in basement of theater"?

And the Mariupol has majority of Russian speaking residents, so the Russians hate them? therefore killed them?

You really are scrapping the barrel and spewing misinformation with no back up to your claims. Where is the link that those sheltering in the Mariupol theater were hostages?

The reason so many generals are dying is because the Russian troops at the front are depleted, cold, hungry, suffering low morale and are disillusioned. The generals are having to go up to the front lines to lead their men into battle, so to speak. Then the Ukrainians shoot them dead. ????

by now, anyone who knows a little about European history should start to see the similarities:

 

elected leader becomes dictator - same

media censorship - same

false flag in Sudeten-Areas - false flag in Lugansk / Donetsk

Anschluss - Crimea

Nürnberg - Putin's rally of today

Jews - Putin wants to "cleanse" Russia of traitors

false peace negociations while preparing invasion - same

"Lebensraum" - our motherland

"taking back what's ours" - same

Poland - Ukraine

 

and there are more parallels I am too tired to list now ...

They do if they're friends/flunkies of Putin.... flailing in the dark for miserable excuses.

 

"[the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch] Kirill, who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, has seemingly justified the invasion by describing it as part of a struggle against sin and pressure from liberal foreigners to hold “gay parades.” He has blamed the West and a fellow Orthodox patriarch for fomenting enmity between Ukraine and Russia and echoed Putin in insisting they are “one people.”

Then, they (the Russians) leave and call an airplane to bomb the roof where is the word children written in white? Instead of killing them by an explosion inside... 

 

Unfortunately, no record of a plane around in that time... (but perhaps out of order...)  

 

But why they do not kill the 3+ millions along the humanitarian corridors? Seems that the generals are not so clever...  

 

Hospitals: Hostages in basements

People sheltering in theatre: Bombed

Theatre with with Children written in white Bombed

Convoys civilians Bombed

"In good faith" .no way , disgusting war crimes,

 My only question here is how the Western leaders could not see this coming. It was so obvious what the true face of Putin's regime was back in 2014, the latest. Can you imagine that just 4 weeks ago the Germans seriously planned to open Nord Stream 2 pipeline to make their dependency on the Russian resources even bigger? How could people in power be so shortsighted? Should not Angela Merkel be made responsible for sponsoring fascist regime in Russia with the German taxpayer’s money? The money which is now used to shell and destroy Ukrainian cities and its citizens.

It’s disturbing enough that while we all post on here the real terror is being felt in Ukraine with the invasion and murders by Russia. what’s even more sickening is that there are people such as yourself who are active apologists promoting false scenarios and pure lies trying to justify the slaughters going on.

 

Cities, towns and infrastructure will be rebuilt, the loss of life of women, children, their parents and the forces can never be replaced. 
 

While spending your time in the dark corners of the web that promote these pure lies try for on second to take a step back and realize just how immoral your posts are.

[Hellfire]

Ironically, in his last speech on TV Putin mentioned “the final solution of the Ukrainian question”. Another direct analogy with the German Nazi regime.
