There has been a number of articles inferring that 'prominent' Russians who have expressed views divergent to Putin's current policy in Ukraine have died suddenly or mysteriously. I don't know whether it's propaganda or a good indicator of Russian actions against such people.
The idea of Putin being some all controlling dictator ordering murders of his alleged rivals is too idiotic for words. It is a sad reflection of our media that it has become so infantilised. It doesn't even need debunking because there is nothing to debunk.
Somebody is killed in Russia.
Western media immediately link it in the most tenuous way with Putin.
The articles themselves make no accusations, realising there is nothing but innuendo to link it to Putin. Indoctrinated readers fail to see that no evidence is offered or accusation even made. Just lots of innuendo and the reader has to make the accusation themselves-they just don't realise it.
Nemtsov, the idiotic Navalny saga.
Do yourself a favour, Roch. Search for yourself the election results from Russia over the last couple of decades that this Putin obsession of the Western media has gone on.
None of the people called "The Opposition leader" are anything of the sort. This massive lie should alert you to the notion that everything that follows is probably bollocks.
Take a look yourself and search for the results;
United Russia (Putin's party) usually garner around 50% give or take.
The Communist Party garner around 25-30%
A number of smaller parties usually get anything between 1 and 5%
Navalny, Nemtsov and any other fringe figure touted in Western media as "opposition leader" is a false premise that is easily dismissed straight away by any discerning reader. If any foreign media described Tommy Robinson or Nick Griffin as "UK opposition leader", you would probably stop reading on the grounds of them being so poorly informed/straight up liars. Check their facts. Don't swallow everything they say whole without even a cursory check on the facts they use as their premise. Both of these figures were not rivals or a threat to Putin in any sense. The Communist Party leader is unarguably the opposition in Russia. That is a bit uncomfortable for Western media and leaders so they pretend that irrelevant fringe figures are "Putin's rival".
If Putin is "bumping off" opposition leaders then he is being remarkably lax because the prominent politicians and leaders of his main opposition(the Communists) have been left unharmed.
Western media outlets and politicians never refer to the Communist Party in Russia at all, never mind as "the opposition" to United Russia. If they either don't know or just ignore this fact-everything else they say after that is uninformed propaganda. This is not really arguable. Hold your sources of "information" to some standards.
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus-one lie, all lies
You should be "marking" their work at all times not swallowing the dubious and un-evidenced claims whole. The whole edifice of lies is crashing around them now. The disinformation about Ukraine in Western media is off the scale and bears no resemblance to real events. Informed, knowledgable and sane experts will never be interviewed in western media.
None the less-cold hard reality is smashing into western propaganda. Truth is emerging, slowly at first-then a deluge is coming. NATO and the EU will be lucky to see 2023 out in one piece. The rest of the world will get on with creating a new multi-polar world, new means of trade bypassing the dollar- all ongoing. Putin will not be overthrown, die of cancer, BRICS+ will continue to expand. Western abuse of reserve status of the dollar-weaponising of SWIFT, illegal sanctions(abusing reserve status), theft of foreign reserves-it's all over.
NATO the ultimate enforcer of the above system is, despite western propaganda to the contrary, currently getting it's arse handed to it by Russia. It doesn't matter whether you believe this or not. The rest of the world (Africa, Asia, South America) believe it. They are turning to Russia and China because they have seen Russia demonstrate the weakness of NATO-who are powerless to turn the tide. Nobody gives a f#+k about western public opinion anymore. The West is no longer the "shining city on the hill" for the rest of the world.
The collapse of the current NATO enforced western financial system is going to shock western populations when cold hard reality hits. Outsourcing our manufacturing decades ago is about to bite us on the arse.
