Two Russian journalists appear to defy Putin, slamming the war in Ukraine

Two Russian reporters directly accused President Vladimir Putin of launching one of the "bloodiest wars of the 21st century." Reporting critical of the government in Russian media is extremely rare — especially since the war in Ukraine started in February.

CNN was one of the top who stand to Trump the putin's little friend, to put it in a way. Is depressing see over the course of almost 40 years in the US the dark shadow of the Republican Party, that I respect most but criticize their hypocrisy and intense prejudice, bias , and hate against what is what they call it not American, and many like Betsy DeVos are Dutch descent very proudly... You know what they said about Dutch in Grand Rapids, MI?: "If you are not Dutch you aren't much" and Western Michigan is one of the most Republican nets in the country.


Joshua Korpi Just replying to you kind and humanitarian remarks Nice Champagne… I hear gas is rising in the USA, how come if you’ve got so much in your ground? Difficult to understand that now you come to Venezuela to beg for some barrels
By the way, It’s in fact Russian oil what the bus driver is giving you! I’ve always differentiated between the people and the ruling political class! And yours is cheating you and is lying to everyone. Take care.
How great would be if this unlimited resources and money were used for Americans to live better and all of us have a better life instead of being wasted in wars that have caused so much disgrace, destruction, pain and so many lives including those of many young Americans that were sent to places without even knowing where they were going to! Can you think about that? So many lives! And again and again!


Genaro Miranda Trump avoiding questions?-No! Trump took questions every single day! Joe refuses to take ANY questions! Even at press conferences. Unless pre picked! Fact!
Your opinion that Trump lied with every word?-Truly only make YOU the liar! Ill swear on my Mothers grave that you are wrong about that!
Under Trump. The US was truly never safer! He shut down any threats from international! He killed off ISIS! And controlled our border. The only danger going on? Were the liberals. Burning down their own cities! Burning,luting,threatening! Hating police!
A single person cannot over throw anything. But an entire government. That wouldnt do what it takes for truth and justice. Because it wouldve crumbled the entire election system! Sure does make perfect sense! If Trump were to plan an insurrection? It would be a pathetic collection of chickens with heads cut off? Led by a goof with horns on his hat? That were just let in the building? Please stop the absurdity


Yes but anyone thats been in politics this long is bound to have moved on issues as our country and culture has dramitically changed over the last 50 years, I'd be more concerned if they did not honestly. Biden was simply the best shot to beat Trump no one else the democrats put up could get the "black vote" and therefore could not carry the ticket........is what it is I guess.

Never said you did watch FN Scott Vaudreuil just saying this whole mantra that JB is some kind of crazy far left wing liberal is so out of touch I don't even know where to start that conversation.


The war in Ukraine is Evil fighting evil.
American geopolitics is the demonic force behind all of these wars, atrocities, savageries. Back 2006 (!) Condoleeza Rice decreed that Ukraine would be in America's hands, to subvert Russia - against France and Germany who did not wish to use Ukraine to destroy Russia. We see the savage results today. (You yourselves have done the same myriad times before, check your history).
And that Zelinsky is no hero. He is playing America’s card and is a thug. His gangsters have been killing Russians - Putin’s not fabricating it. This does n’t justify the invasion. It just says: all of it is evil fighting evil.
See these two interviews on who Zelinsky is: .

Violating climate change agreements with the poorly inefficient war machines. So how can they be fined for that. Doing it in Ukraine does not count. Their's went down since they had to stay home but you on the other hand just belched and smoked all over the place. The Russian Federation approved its 'Strategy of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation with low greenhouse gas emissions by 2050' in October 2021. As part of this strategy, Russia has committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2060. UN should put a fine on buying weapons and tanks that are not emission free. Put it in a war fund. Cause Mother Nature will be the enemy soon as she rebalances the earth from our folly. If the country does not pay for environmental clean up the agressor you charge a tariff on all goods exported that goes to the UN to give to countries that have had environments ravaged by the aggressor.


According to the available reliable information, in the Kharkiv region, the Kyiv regime carried out another bloody action according to the "Buchin" scenario. On the section of the road between the settlements of Stary and Novy Saltov, servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down six civilian vehicles with white flags mounted on them. Photo and video filming of this monstrous crime was carried out by specialists of the Center for Information and Psychological Operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In addition, from the area of ​​private households in Bila Krinitsa, Kherson region, artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted several attacks on the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in order to call back fire on residential buildings with civilians, whom the territorial defense militants do not let out of the blockaded settlement, holding them as "human shield". At the same time, representatives of the Norwegian media were in Belaya Krinitsa for photo and video recording of allegedly indiscriminate Russian strikes against the civilian population.

We warn you in advance that in the near future these and other materials fabricated by the Kyiv regime about the alleged “atrocities of the Russians” are planned to be widely distributed through Western and Ukrainian media, as well as Internet resources.


Boniface S Masau, my father was a decorated Pearl Harbor survivor! He fought against fascism on a worldwide scale.

The soldiers that gave their lives in WW II would be disgusted by your fascist views! As would my father!

You are brainwashed, filling your head with FOX, Newsmax, OAN drivel. They are using you to make their money!

They are using all of you Trumpsters because of your low IQ's, your gullibility and your easily manipulated, almost child like in your dedication to make believe!

You are anti-American and anti-democracy! You and your ilk are racist to your cores. You are a cult. And we know how the cults always end up.

Save yourself before you lose your soul! Christ never preached hatred, he never preached about anti-gay issues. But he sure did preach at the dangers of divorce, the corruption of the church and the corruption in government!

The first thing he did when he entered Jerusalem was turn over the tables of the merchants in the Temple!

"You have made my father's house into a den of thieves!"

Now we have churches all across America with cell towers in their steeples. And they take the money not to feed the poor but rather line their own pockets!

If Christ we're here today? People just like you? Would kill him all over again! And call him a Libtard Socialist!

He healed people and he fed people! And what are you and your ilk doing? Preaching hate in God's name!

And instead of feeding the poor you criminalize the poor.

You all make me sick to the core of my soul! If you love Putin the devil so much, move to Russia! We don't want you here! You're stinking up the country with your fascism l, racism and hate!


Dear non-trolls,

As we all know, paid Russian trolls are all over stories from this page. In my many years of troll poking I've found that what they dislike the most is context, so when you see a troll posting you should consider replying with something context heavy with a relevant link which they do NOT want to have pushed up in the algorithm rankings.

This can be media stories about west African troll farms paid for by Putler, or anything else which is relevant. My favourite: a long text with a supporting article/opinion piece. This is most effective in threads which the trolls have invested a lot time in infesting.

Please feel free to use this, or other material of your choosing:

After the war, the Soviet Union took territory Poland, Romania, and Hungary into the USSR's borders, and moved other borders around. Also invaded were the Baltic States and Moldova, which the Soviet Union considered its own territory at this point, whether or not the locals did; there was also fighting with anti-Soviet partisans within USSR borders, especially in Ukraine.
