Trouble in Moscow?
 
'MOSCOW — Russian police in riot gear detained more than 1,000 protesters Saturday at a demonstration against the exclusion of opposition politicians from the ballot for an upcoming city council election, a monitoring group said, marking another flare of anti-government defiance a week after Moscow’s largest opposition rally in years.
Police said around 3,500 people gathered near City Hall for the unauthorized protest organized by prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny. Earlier this week, a Russian court sentenced Navalny to 30 days in jail for calling for the demonstration. A handful of other prominent opposition politicians also were arrested before the rally took place.
OVD-Info, a monitoring group that tracks political arrests in Russia, said more than 1,000 people were detained during police sweeps Saturday. State-run news agencies, including Tass, also reported more than 1,000 detentions, citing police. In previous mass detentions, many people were released after being held for several hours. The Moscow police had earlier said they had made 295 arrests, the Associated Press reported, but did not offer a final number.' WP

Hope Vlad is sweating a bit.

While we're dealing with Vladdie Poutine's BFF and asset here in the states, Russians are marching in the streets of Moscow.

Good. More power to them.

Moscovites are always marching.
While we are often consumed with Poutine, the reality is that in the big picture he and his cohorts are small players- merely nuisance.

The guy who matters is Xi.

Amusing how you always make these "sage" pronouncements with absolutely no facts to back you up. Kinda like your idiot hero Fucker Carlson. Are you simply parroting this clown? Seems that way. You and Whell have a lot in common.

WTF facts re China vs Russia? Just go in Walmart. Then go to Africa, Australia, South America, etc.

Russia - an economy comparable in size to say California or Texas.

Pootin interfered with our elections, the very core of our democratic system. He is very likely at least partly responsible for the “election” of an incompetent fool to the presidency. What do you not understand about that!?

What irony? Have you actually read the Mueller report, or are you simply going to stick with the BS Carlson is spewing? The facts are in the report - read it!
