If the Russian government ordered someone poisoned with military grade Novicok they would be dead, dead, dead. You clearly have no idea how deadly Novichok is. But anyone can make Novichok. Look it up. You don't need any real expert knowledge. Russia has a different way of life. The don't tolerate violence in the streets like the U.S. does. The problem is people in Russia see what goes on in the U.S. and wants to copy that in Russia and in other countries. What they are imitating does not make any society better. They are promoting chaos as legitimate political maneuvers which it is not. People can vote in Russia. And Putin has had a high approval rating by Western polling sometimes as high as 80%. I have listened to Nalvany many times. Have you? He always says the same thing. Putin is rich and corrupt and has been in office over 15 years. In the U.S. we have politicians who are rich and corrupt and have been in office for 30, 40, and 50 years. DOZENS OF THEM. FDR was in office 16 years. And if he had lived he would have won another term. Was he a dictator? I have never heard Nalvany make one policy prescription for Russia. Not one. Nalvany is a sociopath who will do anything for attention and so he does not have to work for a living. So tell me. What does Nalvany do for a living? In Ukraine today there is a man named Medvedchuk who got millions of votes in the last Ukrainian election and came in second to Zelensky. He was arrested by the Zelensky government. Have you heard of him. No. Because the mainstream media only wants you to know certain things. Nalvany could not get millions of votes in Russia. As they say in the U.S. he could not get elected dogcatcher in Russia. His support is mainly outside Russia. These are the people who finance him. The Zelensky government has also shut down newspapers and TV stations critical of Zelensky. Do you hear about this in the mainstream media in the West. No. Ukraine is not a democracy. This is simply what you are told.

@@Dyils it is avoiding the question. The question was “why are YOU afraid of other politicians. Not “what are the similarities between America and Russia”. Even if American politicians lie more and do the same things as Putin (ie. have people killed and poisoned on a regular basis), he was supposed to answer WHY does HE do it?

[@Dyils]

@@TonyStark-ir8ke But he DID answer it. He gave an example of something that happened in the USA where the people are now facing charges for what they had done. He's saying that he's justified to do that to the people he's done it to because of the same reasons - they've done something wrong in his eyes, just like the people he gave as an example. That's his answer! That's why he does it. That's why he feels justified to do it. He answered it. He does it for the same reasons the people he gave in his example are facing charges in the USA - because they did something wrong (in his eyes). He's drawing parallels between the two events to justify what's also happened in Russia. Now, you are free to think that what he's saying is false. And it might be, I'm not informed well enough to know if it's true. I don't know if the people he's referring to have actually done something illegal. But it's not avoiding the question.
