Vladimir Putin , stone cold killer ????

This is making me laugh. Is "history" no longer required as a college course?

We truly are a nation of idiots.

This is what communists do, this is what happens when you allow your government total control of the people. This is what happens when you disarm the average citizen.

And this is the road to communism, democrat/liberal/socialist/communist.

The only thing holding back the socialist/communist tide in America is the Constitution and the US Military.

Mr. Putin is just doing what good communists do, controlling the people, by any and all means necessary.




Crossing the Kremlin: Nemtsov latest in long line of Putin critics to wind up dead
By Malia Zimmerman
·Published March 04, 2015
·FoxNews.com

Enemies of Vladimir Putin have a way of winding up dead.

Whether they are poisoned, gunned down on the streets of Moscow or blown to bits in their homes, people who have crossed or merely criticized the Russian president have turned up dead around the world. Putin political adversary Boris Nemtsov, who was shot and killed near the Kremlin last week, is only the latest in a long line that includes hundreds of journalists, human rights activists and businessmen.

“I believe Vladimir Putin is a stone-cold killer,” said Bill Browder, author of “Red Notice, A True Story of High Finance, Murder, and One Man's Fight for Justice.” “Anyone who gets in the way seems to be arrested, exiled or killed.”

Browder, a Russia-based investor in the 1990s, recounts in his book details of the consequences he and his lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, suffered at the hands of the Putin regime. Magnitsky was murdered in prison in 2009, after being arrested for exposing a $230 million tax fraud scheme involving law enforcement and government officials.

“I believe Vladimir Putin is a stone cold killer.”
- Bill Browder, author of book on Kremlin

Nemtsov, like many others whose murders have been blamed on Putin, had other enemies who may have been capable of killing. The Russian president, a former KGB agent, has vowed to bring Nemtsov’s killer to justice and implied that the hit may have been aimed at destabilizing his cash-strapped regime by framing it.

Admit nothing.

Deny everything.

When confronted by facts, make counter accusations.

Yep, Putin had him killed and is on script.

So, Putin may have had one of his critics assassinated?

If THAT sounds like a surprise then get ready for this...
...in related news, the sun has been seen rising in the east.

I might not agree with him but I do admire him. He has the balls to be ruthless.
