Title: Russians against putin
Post by Sprintcyclist on Feb 26^th, 2022 at 3:15am

Quote:

......... .......... One petition, started by a prominent human rights advocate, Lev Ponomavyov, garnered more than 150,000 signatures within hours.

More than 100 Russian journalists signed a joint statement condemning the invasion, which they posted on Telegram. Most represented independent news organizations and outlets that opposed Putin. “War has never been and will never be a method of conflict resolution and there are no excuses for it,” the statement said.

One person who did rail against Putin directly was Dmitry Muratov, editor-in-chief of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and the winner of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. ........... ........

We support them thus:

The Magnitsky laws target all those corrupt meanies who need to keep their money in foreign banks. There's even a musical about them. Here:

Fun fact: when the Russians met with Jared Kushner and Don Junior in Trump Tower, it was the Magnitsky laws they wanted fixing, in return for all that jolly dirt on Hillary.

When Trump had those private off-the-record meetings with his friend Vlad, you can guarantee the Magnitsky laws were on the top of the agenda. How do we fix Putin?

We follow the money. Putin is the world's richest leader, along with his friends, a criminal organisation who run an economy the size of Italy. They have too much cash to store in the spare room, so they use foreign banks. Freezing their accounts makes them ever so mad.

It may not happen overnight but it will happen, no?

In one of Don's off the book meetings with Vlad, he probably told Vlad to invade Ukraine if he loses the election but to wait a year to make poopy pants look bad.

So cunning
