This is the truth. Every narrative that supports their tribe is true, and every narrative that refutes it is false.

No. There are limits to a tyrant’s power. If he ordered a nuclear attack on the US it is probable that his orders would not be obeyed and he would be executed.

What do you want? I've never been to Russia. Idk shite about their politics or their social layout. All the information about Russia I know, comes from our western media. You think it would be critical thinking for me to just believe the same assholes who have lied to me for years?
I mean frick, our media told me trump was worse than Hitler. Just to smear trump, they minimized the atrocities of nazi Germany. Several millions of Jews murdered. A legit genocide. And it was considered tamer than trump saying mean shite on Twitter.
I can't believe anything from our media. I can't believe anything from Russia either. So my critical thinking involves doubting everything unless I see it with my own eyes or hear it with my own ears.

Amen to this. We're talking about the same media that showed footage from a gun range in Kentucky and claimed it was fighting in Syria. I don't believe a fricking thing they say.
Left wingers don't mind because being lied to is easier for them than facing the truth

Would think first rule of coups is not talk about coup

Then you rate yourself too low. Don't you have some critical thinking skills? You are not retarted. You should be able to say to yourself.
* Okay, this is from the Russian government...probably biased in their favor..
* Okay, this is from Ukraine, same thing.
* Which is better, well, since I follow the news and not completely paranoid and don't think every single word is a lie, it probably is true that Putin has done things like send his spies to kill former allies in the UK, arrested Navalbny, had Magitksy killed in the KGB/FSB prison on the Marriott Hotels case, etc.
You act like you are completely powerless here and you are not. And frankly, why not spend some time reading up on it? (I write that because you say you "don't know shite" about it).
Here is a great overview of Putin in the New York Times, you should be able to read it since everyone gets 10 free articles a month and I hope you have not over that.
I found this article to be very informative, I learned a few things and I have lived in Russia for goodness sakes.
