Two men have been arrested over the murder of Russian opposition politician Boris Nemtsov

I try to be politically correct, but What the Fuck are you even saying. You mouth-breather. You're deliberately misinforming people. The person on the other side of that screen knows that what they're typing is utter and complete bullshit. I mean it makes no sense in the slightest. If you're going to lie and try to galvanize the masses against the West, show the West a modicum of respect by trying to be convincing. No one is buying the horseshit, you and your regime is selling. Does the US and the West have problems associated with corporate greed, consumerism, imperialism? Yes, definitely. No contest, no debate necessary.

But here's a luxury you can only dream of having:

"Fuck Obama, Fuck Merkel, Fuck Harper, Fuck Cameron, Fuck Abott, Fuck _insert name of your President/PM_"

We can say that on national TV and our artists/innovators/people of influence can say it. Anyone can say it. We don't get bullets in our heads for saying it. You dream of the freedom we have. You don't even know how good this shit is because you've never experienced it. Keep eating the kvashyna kapusta and drown your sorrows in alcohol because it's all you have. You don't matter. Your leader backed the shithole of a country into a corner and now he's on his knees in front of the entire communist party. Putin is at Beijing's mercy. You're government is willing to give up half of their claims on Russian gas/oil? Instead of going Norway's way of setting up a SWF, you're allowing your government to sell half of the reserves that belong to every Russian citizen, which includes you. You're trying to gain respect by waging an asymmetric war? You're stretching your budget as it is. Your foreign reserves will not save you.

That's what a 50% reduction in wealth looks like. The major rating agencies have rated your bonds as junk. The markets are saying bye bye to you. Your government has done such a shitty job that even the soulless bankers/capitalists have said, "Jesus Christ, I'm not loaning them any more money the country is done"

Look at the countries ahead of you.

We may not be truly free in the West, but we can say shit like "George Bush doesn't care about black people" on live TV. Jesus, communism is such a plague. Unchecked capitalism has its own slew of problems -> see the 1%.

We are your biggest customer, you do as the West tells you. Your government didn't diversify, we have all the smart people. And all the smart people want to live here in the West. Everyone in the fucking world is dying to come live here. People are literally drowning to have a shot at living in the West.

Instead of Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Checkhov and Stravinsky we get your Napoleonic troglodyte.

get out.
