As the situation within Ukraine itself deteriorates, Ukraine’s relations with the two neighbouring countries with which it has struggled to remain on good terms – Belarus and Poland – have also taken a sharp turn for the worse.
With the eyes of the anti-Russian western mainstream media focused on Alexei Navalny’s latest antics in Moscow, it seems appropriate to discuss just what constitutes a ‘Russian opposition leader’ in the eyes of western mainstream media pundits who are both misinformed themselves and seek to pass that misinformation on to their declining audience.
With this in mind here are 5 ways to become a Russian opposition leader….in the eyes of the west.
1. Don’t Be An Actual Opposition Leader
The High Court in London this morning granted Russia’s request for an expedited hearing (ie. summary Judgment) of its claim against Ukraine arising from Ukraine’s non-payment of the $3 billion loan Ukraine owes Russia.
Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte is currently leading a Time Magazine Poll of the most influential men and women of 2017. How it is even possible to conduct such a poll at the end of March seems rather counter-intuitive, but nevertheless Duterte is a solid choice.
Trump is asking the right question that no mainstream media outlet will dare to touch and no liberal left snowflake wants to acknowledge.
Why is no one talking about Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John Podesta, and brother Tony Podesta’s ties to Russia…with the premise that US politicians daring to have contact with anything “Russia” is an act of treason.
All politics, all smoke and mirrors, meant to distract from the real crime…Obama’s surveillance and spying on a presidential candidate.
It is painful to watch Iraq die a million times before its penultimate death. Between 1990 and the present day, there have been more years when Iraq has been bombed by the US and its partners, than years during which the opposite was true.
No other country can say the same in respect of that 27 year time frame. When Iraq wasn’t being bombed by the US, it was being sanctioned to death, while pirates plundered the profits from the inherently inhumane Oil For Food programme.
French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen told a rally on Sunday that the European Union will disappear. Le Pen promised to protect France from the evils of globalisation, four weeks before voting gets underway in what will be historic elections in France.
The National Front (FN) party leader, told the rally in Lille that the French election would be the next step in what she called a global rebellion of the people…
While Germany, Greece, the Visegrad countries, and Brussels all argue about who should take in the most migrants, the Saudis have evidently found a much simpler solution to the problem.
A boat carrying Somali refugees off the coast of Yemen was allegedly attacked by the Saudi-led coalition which is intervening in Yemen’s civil war, reported Human Rights Watch.
Fox News’ Eric Shawn reports about the Moscow and Tehran partnership in an effort to brand both nations as “terror states.”
No better person to push Russia hate and global war mongering than neocon Ambassador John Bolton, who championed the George W. Bush’s WMD war in Iraq, as well professing support for “moderate rebels” in Syria (aka Al Qaeda and ISIS).
Bolton lays out his neocon strategy quite openly in the last 30 seconds of the clip…
“The next conflict is already underway…Iran is the principle threat.”
Russian media had reported days before about a protest that was being scheduled for Sunday afternoon in Moscow’s popular Pushkin Square. Protesting and the right to assembly is of course legal in Russia, except this one was not sanctioned by the mayor’s office, and therefore illegal.
