Mother Russia: What do the liberals think now

[MDiver]

No fan of Russia, as political opponents of Putin are either arrested or poisoned. The only thing I do like about Russia, is the way they go to war. I prefer the sledgehammer approach to fighting an enemy. Any civilians that get caught in the mess, are simply collateral damage to be ignored. The US way of surgical strikes is not as effective.

The way conservatism has devolved into repressive policies toward medical care, constitutional protections and ability to vote for common folk...it may as well BE Authoritarianism...

The ability to vote for common folk? As opposed to career politicians?

I'd rather have a common folk running the country than the two nominees that both parties have given us this year.

Right Now, I think liberals hate mother russia, not like during the cold war when they Looovvveeeddd her...

Putin and the Russian government have their priorities in order. ..

Such as cheating at the Olympics? Regularly? As has now been proven.

Not a country or government to admire.

ROUNDING UP GAYS IN CHECHNYA
It's all about Islam, folks.

Now Chechnya is again making headlines in the West. In recent weeks, hundreds of gay Chechen men have been rounded up and placed in newly built concentration camps constructed precisely for the detention of homosexuals. Most of these men have been – and are still being – cruelly tortured; some (it's not yet clear how many) have been killed. Igor Kochetkov, a gay-rights activist based in St. Petersburg, Russia, told the Guardian that the scale of this action is “unprecedented not only in Russia but in recent world history.” Near the top of its long, grimly detailed, and deeply disturbing piece, the Guardian informed its readers – and it repeated these points later, too – that Chechnya is an “ultra-conservative Russian republic” and that “Chechen society is extremely conservative and homophobic.” What the Guardian mentioned only en passant, many paragraphs into the article – in fact, the detail was tucked away as expertly as possible – was that Chechnya is Islamic.

...


A report by the Daily Mail takes the dark picture painted by the Guardian and makes it even darker. According to the Mail, Chechnyans are actually “being ordered to murder their gay relatives after they are released” from the concentration camps. One survivor of the camps, who was lucky enough to escape to Europe immediately after his release, told the Mail about a not-so-lucky friend, aged 20 or 21, who was let go from one of the camps “on the condition that his family would kill him.” They did. Another gay man, who so far has avoided incarceration, told the Mail that gay acquaintances of his who were taken to the camps “were half dead after the beatings” they suffered there “and were returned to relatives like a bag with bones.” Whether their parents were devout enough Muslims to finish them off was unclear.
