    1. @Paul Valenzuela One thing is a real democracy.. Another is a two-party system controlled by the same lobby groups. Where the 2 parties are always united when they have to give money to wall street, corporations and the military industrial complex.. But they always find excuses when they have to help the people.
      That is not a democracy, but the illusion of a democracy..

    2. @Don Nwzad hipocracy? 😂 removing a tyrant is something the whole world is in favor for. Like Putin and trump.

  1. Navalny coming back to carry on the fight in Russia after being poisoned is akin to watching Teddy Roosevelt deliver a speech after getting shot

    1. @DimaShirshkov1 lol that would be your defense, okay shows you are just a liar.

      btw none of that info comes from RT and nothing I said was wrong

    2. Okay when Navalny becomes prez of Russia, he will return Crimea back to Ukraine, he will side with the US and possibly Syria would have the same fate as Iraq in 2003, and apply some disgusting liberal ideas like secularism (Russian Orthodox Church), feminism, and gay rights in a conservative country. Plus oligarchs were obedient to Putin, knowing he has jailed many opposition oligarchs, Navalny would just be another Yeltsin, puppet of oligarchs. And this won’t get him the support of 80% of Russian population who support putin.

    3. @Snausages Mcgee you don’t know what youre talking about. His palace movie was watched 100 million times in a week which is 2/3 of russian population. And the protest were huge. You are a puppet listening to low quality sources that replace your lacking critical thinking

    1. @Tritan Nah man I have to crank up the volume so loud to hear something. When I started something else my ear drums were blewn out.

    1. Wow ladies and gentlemen, these Americans is once again preaching about democracy while at the same time they bombing many countries with “500 pounds of freedom and democracy.” Russia haves democracy in 1990s under Boris Yeltsin, its a terrible one, many are hungry, poor, and Russia is on the verge of anarchy. Putin gave hope to Russians and he prove himself when he saved Russia from anarchy by reclaiming the capital city Grozny of Chechnya by military force. Russian economic recovery also started with Putin’s state capitalism 2001-2008. Because of Putin’s authoritarianism, Russia haves been a relatively stable country since the 2000s and Putin acts as counterbalance to the West while Alexei Navalny is suggesting the others part like “Return Crimea to Ukraine, joint US-Russia invasion of Syria, and apply disgusting liberal secularism, feminism, and LGBT rights in a conservative country like Russia.” And if Yeltsin was controlled by the oligarchs, the oligarchs today we’re controlled by Putin which means Putin already jailed many opposition oligarchs in the past 20 years unlike in the US, the ones that support the military-industrial complex always wins the election. Russia will never be a democracy because it never needs to be democracy, just understand liberal Americans that many countries in the world don’t need your democracy (China, Singapore, Russia, Middle East as long as they have oil, Hungary and Poland).

    2. @Tiff’sTravels2012 yeah immigration night do it, which is cheating by itself. Let’s let in millions non Americans who we know will vote for us. That you are aware of this and still vote biden shows your level of treason.

    3. @Michael Williamson I realized that, that Trump never had any case for fraud other than hearsay from citizens… In fact, they actually never claimed fraud IN court – only on stage… But Trump still set up a fund to “fight” the fraud and collected well over 250 MILLION from his followers – now Trump has 250 MILLION to use as he pleases. Trump followers, many are now in prison (a common theme w/ those that supported Trump).

    4. @Hairy legs Corn Pop The supreme court is filled with 6 Conservatives and 3 Liberals – A MASSIVE conservative lean!!! Obama appointed 2 in his 8 years and Trump appointed the 3 Conservative supreme court justices in JUST his 4 years (even replacing Liberal Judges with Conservative)… Why you’re upset about that is beyond me and if ANYTHING, our supreme court should be 50/50…

  2. I’ve watched Navalny’s film about Putin’s secret palace in Galendzhik. This film is mind blowing. I recommend everyone to watch it.

    1. @Andrew Montana Like what “stuff”? I almost guarantee that you didn’t even watch it, but here you are quickly criticizing people who did.

    2. @Andrew Montana I prefer to see all sides of an argument with my own eyes before forming an opinion. I suggest you do the same.

  3. Navalny has to be the bravest man in the world. The Russian people have never got a break from the tsars to putin they have been used and abused. I sincerely hope they get rid of Putin but it’s not going to be easy.

    1. Putin isn’t going anywhere without an extremely violent coup. I’m not saying that shouldn’t happen. That’s just the only way he’s leaving

  4. Would be nice to have a large democracy in Europe. I don’t hate the russian people, I just hate the Russian leadership

  5. Lmao tik tok? There really is no hope for future generations. Imagine all these qtip haircut guys raising their kids 💀
