i can’t decide what to think of all this until Never-Trumper Bill Broder weighs in / sarc
This is such a joke.
Asking a thieving Oligarch what he thought of Putin, is like asking a Carpetbagger about Southern States after the Scalawags and Carpetbaggers had been expelled.
Remember Gonzalo Lira.

Navalny was stupid to ever return to Russia.
Trump?
RIP Gonzalo.
The global elites are desperate to ramp up the heat against Putin himself since the West is losing in Ukraine. The West wants the wealth of the Russian lands, the minerals, the control.
Has anyone rational actually thought about why Russia would want to deal with the millions of Muslim illegals all over Europe? Its failing economy? Why would Russia want Europe?
Russia has oil. Europe does not. Russia has natgas. Europe does not.
Then there are folks who imagine Russia wants a border buffer of land expanding outwards.
Why? Long range missiles eliminate the value of such a buffer.
Just get rational and consider the why question. Russia would not want the US for similar reasons. Only the poor flow into rich countries, and what value do they have?
Do you happen to know the destination of most of the Ukrainians who fled the war? I do. I looked for it.
It’s Russia.
Get real. Duh West is not monolithic, and if Duh West had wanted to divvy up Russia, they would have done so in 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed and became destitute. Russia is losing in Ukraine, and Ukraine would be destroyed in the conflict, too, except that Russia is contained in the East and South, but it’s eating up men and resources, and has already disrupted two planting seasons and might cause the loss again of the winter wheat come spring.
Stop repeating Putinista talking points. He is not worth it. His folly and megalomania is destroying Russia, and Duh West is busy destroying its own lands’ wealth for stupid reasons. They have a death wish, and so does Putin.
If there is any conspiracy, it is the “great reset,” and Putin is as involved in it as any Davos fat cat. That would explain the wanton destruction of Russia’s and Ukraine’s men, as well as Ukraine’s lands.
But I’m sick of repeating myself. Once upon a time, Free Republic was where free debate happened, and there were well informed people exchanged information and ideas. Those days are gone. Instead, we are bombarded with idiocy here. I’m done. There must be some other forum.
Opus?
Also, I guess more space for missiles to traverse does mean more time to recognize an attack and response.
I get hate mail from both anti-Russia and anti-Navalny posters. One side thinks I regard Navalny as a holy man and the other side suggests that I should regard him as a holy man. I don’t really know much about him. Apparently he thought Trump was evil and Biden was OK, but I don’t think he was well informed about Trump or US politics. What happened to him in the Russian prison was very wrong. The rats would like to do the same to Trump, and for that reason I view Biden’s statements about Navalny as hypocritical.
“Navalny was stupid to return to Russia.”
Many people may find it hard to understand why Navalny returned to Russia. Maybe on one level he knew that Putin would eventually have him killed outside of Russia, so he might as well fight from inside. Or perhaps he returned to Russia for the same reason Jesus went to Jerusalem that last Passover. Only time will tell if he succeeded.
He didn't get away with it like Soros did.
Why did Lenin return to Russia?
What a load of Vranyo.
8 million Ukrainians including Russian Ukrainians fled west out of the area Russia invaded. That’s just the ones we know about, who had passports and id cards.
I know many hiked for days if not weeks, and spent months sleeping on camp beds in crowded dorms all the way from Poland to France.
Russia had less than 2 million voluntarily make the much shorter trip from south Ukraine to Rostov. The Kadyrovites had to force people onto coaches to get them over the border. The Zaporizhzhia Gauleiter just this last week admitted that he was given the choice between forcibly deporting moms with kids into Russia against their will... Or shooting them.
So, do I understand correctly, this is how, in your mind, Vlad the Invader becomes a modern-day Confederate-victim, while Ukrainians equate to "Ape" Lincoln's Northern aggressors??
Seriously?
