re: What is the evidence that Vladimir Putin is a murderer?

I never said putin was our friend, just that Hillary has a list of dead bodies following her similar to putins

Conflating modern russian policy with USSR policies of past generations is very disingenuous.

#1? is there an official ranking? where are the US and Israel on that list?

The KGB only did what they thought was right for the good of their country.

You could basically say the same thing about the CIA without a doubt.

absolutely. And that involved killing people.

And you would hope that the cia would be furthering our own interests, and that people on this board want what is best for america.

I do think both of those are as stretch, especially the latter.

Compare the known practices of the CIA vs KGB during the Cold War.

There is a massive gulf between how our security apparatuses operated. Still exists.

Putin's strategy is to weaken the West - especially NATO, and create a Soviet equivalent to the EU with a RU - economically and militarily aligned. This is well known and a public position. Hence, the moves politically with his puppet (supported by Manafort) in the Ukraine with the annexation of Crimea, the invasion of Georgia some time back and putting in an ally, and the tension that they are putting on the Baltic states that are now part of NATO. Their moves are clear and not so secretive. Read up. Secondly, Russia's support of N. Korea, Iran, Syria, and other rogue terror states also tip the hand of the friends that he keeps. The Russian economy is a disaster and he NEEDS a better relationship with the US, much more than we need a better relationship with Russia. The trade off could be Russia backing off in the Ukraine, backing us to re-negotiate the Iranian nuke deal, ousting Assad, re-patriating Syrian and Iraqi refugees back home, calling off Hezbollah / Iran against the Israelis, and for the US and Russia to work together in bulldozing radical Islamic terrorisim in trade for lifting the brutal economic sanctions that the US and Europe has on them. There you go --- our Trump / Russia foreign policy plan.

Once again, none of this indicates that Putin seeks to recreate the Soviet Union. No matter how much you continue to add.

If you'd like to have a discussion regarding Russia's interests and ambitions, that's another discussion altogether. But once again, relating Putin and current Russian policy to the Soviet Union is hollow political rhetoric with no fundamental basis in truth. But yeah, I'll "read up."

What crimes did Putin commit and where is the evidence for it? Or is this just classic leftist hyperbole?

---

Probably less than half as many as the Ckintons

quote:

Dude. You want to believe Putin is awesome go ahead. He is KGB. He is a dictator. He invaded the Crimea(people died) He is backing the incursion into Ukraine(people died).

I just wanted to know who Putin murdered or who he ordered to be murdered.

I'm glad people were helpful and gave a little more information than your sweeping generalities. That's the reason I started the thread - to get specifics.

OK Chewey, enjoy biting on Putin's balls because Trump wants to be BFF. He wants to re-build eco and defense alliances with the FSU, and if you chose to not believe this, that's up to you. Perhaps you can vacation on the Russian Riviera -- Crimea, which used to be part of the Ukraine.
