Putin wants Berlin assassin Vadim Krasikov. but prisoner swap is murky
BBC ^ | 30 March 2024 | Jake Lapham

In the summer of 2013, a Moscow restaurant owner was gunned down in the Russian capital. A hooded man jumped off a bike and shot his victim twice before fleeing.

Six years later, an exiled Chechen commander, Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, was murdered in a busy Berlin park in eerily similar circumstances, shot by a man on a bike with a silenced Glock 26 in broad daylight.

The assailant was arrested after dumping a pistol and wig in the River Spree close to the Reichstag, the building housing the German parliament.

A passport bearing the name "Vadim Sokolov" was found on the Berlin assassin, but authorities quickly concluded that was not his name after all.

The bald, strongly built man they had arrested was actually Vadim Krasikov, a Russian national with links to the FSB, the Russian security service - and the prime suspect in the 2013 murder in Moscow.

In a recent interview with US TV talk show host Tucker Carlson, Russia's President Vladimir Putin appeared to confirm reports that his country was seeking the release of the "patriot" Krasikov in exchange for American journalist Evan Gershkovich.

The Russians wanted to trade for Navalny but “someone” killed him before they could.

Meanwhile, Biden proclaims Easter Sunday NATIONAL TRANNY APPRECIATION DAY.

The globalists and sexual deviants now hate Christians to the point they flipped God the middle finger. Biden owns Ukraine.

Russia is going to be remembered for the destruction of the homosexual Biden led globalists.

The Tranny scourge is the Leftists answer to COEXISTANCE, and we cannot.

Steven Segal seems to do well.


Vladimir Putin Grants Russian citizenship To U.S. Actor Steven Seagal

Putins war is the same as that of the American People against the socialist tyranny of Biden, Soros,NATO ( the military arm of Davos), and their use of bio labs,and weaponry to found a system of abslote socialist tyranny. Joe Biden is part of that movement. NATO is no longer a defensive military alliance, witness what it did in Libya.It is an alliance of socialist conquest which desperately needs to be reconverted intio a strictly defensive organization before it is too late. If things go on much longer with Russia NATO will be tested by Russia and its allies in an all out war,one where everyone will lose.

That is why it is so imoprtant that we unseat Biden and his radical socialist fascist administration, which does not represent America, nor does NATO.

There needs to be a return to common sense , a return from their Blinkin led woke socialist ideology in international affairs.

Putin does not need to be replaced, nor does Nethanyahu. Biden and his idiot socialist running dogs need replacement, and they also need to be relegated to the dust bin of history.

The trouble with Evan Gershkovich was that he is a member of the socialist hegemon of socialist/fascist tyranny in the West,a bolshevik Jew of leftist persuasion like NAdler, Schiff, Schumer, Jessica Tarlov and others and as such he was an agent provacateur to the Russian government.

Putin does not suffer leftist journalists well at all.Putin prefers Americans who cling to their bibles and guns, because they pose no threat to Putin or Russia.Stalin got rid of the Bolsheviks and Putin will not allow the return of Bolshevik ideologues into his country,especially those who support the tyranny of DAVOS and their DAVOS based hatred of Russian oligharchs. Those oligarchs fill the coffers of Putin and others.Putin will not allow their diminishment.And thats the handle Trump can use.

About the only scrap of truth in there. Putin is indeed being guided by a political philosophy that is extreme "right-wing" fascist. So much so that it's likely there are more Nazis in Moscow than anywhere else east of the Atlantic Ocean. You'll have to start reading about the evolution of the Eurasia movement before you'll understand this, and it will take some effort. Some of it is occult craziness. Are you willing to try?

Putin is a dictator. He is more communist than fascist, and unto the aparatchiks go the spoils.

I do not subscribe to the liberal lefty interpretation of history in regards to Putin. He is a violent animal who has been uncaged by liberal fascists, including Obama.

Obama and CLinton transformed NATO fron a self defence organization to a colonial oirgaization that wages war not in self defence. Witness Libya, a toatly liberal fascist ideological war on a nation that had become an ally of AMerica.All because he had a guard of women who atteded uiversity against the tenants ofmale dominance. The destroyed the greening of the SOuther desert project, the man made river, the th wonder of the world. BUt yiu hear nothing of what NATO did in that destruction, driving Libya back into the 3rd world from which it was extractibg itself.

Putin knows exactly what NATO has become, an organization involved in liberal fascist conquest via woke ideology. And unless we understand that context, there will be no peace.NATO has to return to its orignally stature as a defensive treaty organization.

Obama and Clinton ruined NATO.In that configuration it became Putin’s enemy.
