Putin is afraid of his own people. Weakness wafts from him.

Putin drives Russia further and further from the West, democracy, and freedom into isolation.

I agree. Pretty much all autocrats act like insecure babies. Look at Winnie the Pooh. So insecure he bans a kids icon over a few funny memes. Oh waa, someone criticized me, off to the penal colony or the gallows. They wouldn't last very long in the rough and tumble of western style elected politics. Yet many Russians seem to see him as somehow strong.

The Western obsession with Navalny is just pathetic. To make a hero out of a professional criminal - a serial con artist and a tax dodger, are you serious? The clumsy desperate efforts to propel Navalny as a democratic leader actually make a lot of damage to the concept of democracy.

First stop the illegal prosecution of Assange, then you should be allowed to open your mouth for talk about democracy.

The Russians have done that themselves with Putin... why shouldn't the west do it with his opponent?

You have evidence of Putin's criminal activity? Share your knowledge with CIA, they are anxious to have anything to squeeze Putin. You can be a hero of the "Free World"!

why shouldn't the west do it

And no interference in other countries internal affairs, no-no!

I mean, only Russians are brainwashed enough to think he's not a criminal. Look at how he's poisoned and killed his enemies.

Unless you're in Russia. Then you can't - you're not allowed to see that news.

Only consumers of Western propaganda fodder are brainwashed enough to think he is a criminal, without providing any hard facts.

Look at how he's poisoned and killed his enemies

OK, let's look. Navalny - "poisoned by the most lethal nerve agent in the world", but looks healthier, alive and kicking then before "the poisoning". Skripal - the British shamefacedly try not to mention this case again, since they presented no evidence. No wonder sane people do not believe this rubbish in media.

I'm in Japan. But I know that people in Russia can see any news they want, there is no "information Iron Curtain" like in China or North Korea.

Seems to bother you that Putin has been exposed for killing off his enemies. Why you so touch bro?

And yet, Putin still has them brainwashed. Reminds me of the right-wingers in America.

LOL!!! Yeah, Putin is very exposed, Navalny and Skripal are so-o dead! Give me a break bro.

And yet, Putin still has them brainwashed

I see - "if you don't believe our propaganda, you're brainwashed". No further questions.
