  1. That list has many omissions: Russian exiles in the UK are having a hard time not dying in suspicious circumstances. Boris Berezovsky was found dead with a ligature around his neck. Dmitry Obretetsky was killed in a hit and run.

    1. @Exquisite Eva Grywalsky He sees fek all the sky fairy does not exist ask mike pence and his mother lololol.

    2. Yes “Berezovsky” – a guy guarded by the MI5 “dies” like Epstein…
      I guess the “cameras were off”.

    3. @Stephen Kelly America is a nation made up of peoples from many different countries. As a constitutional democratically controlled republic, Americans of all background overwhelmingly support human rights and democracies in all nations. Sure we have missteps and cases of corruptions, yet the rule of law attempts to right those wrongs. That you would prefer to have most of your countrymen eat dirt while your oligarch make billions while supporting Mr Putin at the cost of you nhonor. You killed Maskim Borodin – Why?

    4. @Dawn Johnson I believe that she served her term for the conviction on the charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign power. I don’t think the feds were able to tie her in to the money moving in from Torshin.

      Larry king was paid $225 just to interview on of the oligarchs. It is not credible that Torshin would be using only half measures.

    1. ruth depew Let’s not leave out the bought and paid for installation of certain Supreme Court Justices … to further support and embolden.

    2. Russia also causes the Total Solar Eclipse – every day between 8pm and 6am. Before Evil Russia the Sun use to shine all day. We are doomed! 😲😱

    3. @Mind Freshener Well when the sea level rises we know who to blame on that one. The cause of every problem in the world today especially in the US…..It all falls on orange man bad😲

  2. Anyone who remembers the Cold War and Russia’s behaviour then – which hasn’t really changed – must be wondering what the heck is happening to the USA now.

    1. @Gina Ke there is no objective criterion of who is better and who is worse. But America accounts for a number of destroyed countries and their humanitarian spheres-Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan. Russia also saved one country – Syria, as well as the inhabitants of the Crimea from Ukrainian nationalists.

    2. @David Lee Russia also causes the Total Solar Eclipse – every day between 8pm and 6am. Before Evil Russia the Sun use to shine all day. We are doomed! 😲😱

    3. @tingle blade are you kidding? Russia has 4 TV stations owned by PUTin, all spouting his own propaganda, while he projects and accuses the West of propaganda.
      You call that intellectual liberty? Anna Politkovskaya, have Russians forgotten her assassination? 13 years, and it’s been brushed under the carpet.

      Putin’s trying to take down NATO from within, because then Europe will be free for Russia again. The hate against Obama directed by Russian trolls and their Trumpist sympathizers is so apparent – they can only take down America by tearing down it’s multicultural diversity (which is it’s strength for centuries). Russia cannot have a leader like America even if they dreamed of that, because Russia is not a land of immigrants like how America is. It’s a far more racist and dumber country, which has to rely on it’s moles within this country to steal America’s tech. How can Russia build fifth generation stealth fighters with less budget? It’s because they have historically been stealing American tech. They did it during the Soviet era in the 50s when they stole secrets from the Manhattan project, and now they’re doing it again during Trump’s presidency.

    4. @Lex K The BBC is also a state channel, but no one accuses it of propaganda ( in the West). Why is the state channel worse than the private one? The state channel expresses the policy of the state, such channel as MSNBC the policy of a certain oligarchic group. Why should I think that in any standards of journalism the oligarchic group will be better than the state? In Russia, private channels are allowed and they work. The main channels are state channels , but for example the РБК channel belongs to the oligarch Prokhorov., and there are many such channels.

      In Russia on the television show conducted free discussions on all sorts of topics with various different groups of society, different opinions. In America, there is practically no such thing ( I’m not saying that it is forbidden, I’m saying that it is not practiced. Medi-Islands live their lives). We are different cultures.

      About technology is ridiculous. Russia is ahead of America in hypersonic light years, you will never catch up. You still fly into space on old Russian engines (considering how much you stole in the 90s from Russia). Russian su 57 aircraft is just beautiful. It looks like a Jedi plane. Yours are like Imperial tin cans-disgusting. Your country is falling apart before our eyes and if you find comfort in a derogatory tone to Russia… move on, don’t slow down

    1. @Håkan Bråkan Kråkan same intelligence agencies that sold guns to Mexican drug cartel ???? Those agencies????

  3. Aiding and abetting enemy state through not standing firm with allies or weakening national defense through capitalistic overtures to enemy state is the epidamy of treason.

    1. Ok numbnuts. The only Russian interference in our election in 2016 was 13 Facebook/twitter posters that according to Rosenstein did not influence the election.
      Other than that there is nothing. No proof no eviedence no anything. Prove me wrong.
      With the exception of Clinton paying Steele for information possibly by Russians but that hasn’t even been proven.

    1. @Brian Dunn Hey I’m an Aussie and we;re also disgusted. The only good thing coming out of Fox was The Simpsons

    2. That can’t seriously be a question – that is a statement “Fox news is controlled by Russia” – period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1. It’s up to good people like you and me John to start spreading this word I’m for real we are in a f****** serious situation

    2. Actually no one likes Russia, especially in Europe (and for good reasons). Another reason why NATO is so important. However, only the Trumpists back home often support Russia, because they dream of an imaginary heaven of white hookers from Russia and the South rising again with Russia’s help, so that they can go back to their “illustrious” days of the civil war. They’re angry because the educated can see through their false patriotism and lies that they’re not “racist” – forgetting the fact their ancestors itself were immigrants to this country. Dumb morons who traditionally stayed poor because they never stopped inbreeding nor did they bother to educate themselves (thanks to the low IQ mutations happening with all the inbreeding).

      If they ever migrated to Russia, they’d realize how difficult it’s there with more than half of the population surviving on a monthly income of around 550 dollars or less. Maybe that’s why so many of poor Russians sign up for the Russian trolls farms to get paid. Yet the Trumpists love the corporate oligarchs back home, and even if they moved to Russia. And even then, they’d blame the Dems for the problems they’d face in Russia. And this is why Russia loves the uneducated and racists in America.

  4. Rachel is bang on with this segment, and in her latest book “Blowout” re Putin’s growing boldness. But Jeez, I sincerely hope MSNBC is ensuring she is adequately protected.

  5. In that picture of Obama staring down Putin, you can see Vlad thinking: “You have no idea what I have planned for your country with my GOP puppets.”

    1. @autumn rain Clinton used Steeles connections in Russia for dossier to steal election with illegal FISA warrents.
      Only Russian meddling in our election that amounted to anything. Make that popping sound.

    2. Yes Obama was a fool – he was made aware of Russian influence in the election and in Trumps orbit BEFORE the election but did not want to look like he was influencing so kept it quiet…then Comey put the icing on the cake. All driven by Russia with willing GOP puppets selling out US sovereignty for short term gain. Tough lesson for the US but all will correct itself in time. USA is better than this

    1. @B Park insincere? you read the report of the Commission on mh17? do you know Malaysia’s opinion on the investigation? do you know that even some Dutch politicians and citizens do not trust the Commission, mainly because of the presence of Ukraine in it?

    2. @Anton Zheleznikov “nh17 was not shot down by Russia.”. Funniest comment on the internet. The Buk missile launcher used was tracked from Kursk and Millerovo (Russia) then Dontesk and Schnizne where it was unloaded (seen by witnesses). There is video of it driving out of Schnizne to an area of farmland where the launch site was later identified by the scorched ground and cross reference with videos of the missile’s exhaust smoke.
      Read it here. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2015/10/08/mh17-the-open-source-evidence/

    3. mh17 was shot down on Ukraine territory. And the very style of this operation resembles the classic Western style-the neglect of human lives. It made no sense for Russia to shoot down this plane. What’s the point?
      But I have one interesting story that your fake news will never tell. Check it yourself. The dispatcher girl who conduct this plane is missing.. immediately after the incident. There was a girl and suddenly gone. Such an important witness and her disappearance is completely ignored by western fake media. And the little fool maddow don’t care about her fate. Strange times

    4. @Individual 1 I read this “investigation.” and you would be advised to think about where some of the original video (now there are only screenshots), to find out what roads were controlled by Ukraine at the time of transportation of the “Russian” Sam. finally, find out all the modifications of the Sam and compare the photos.

  6. Seven US Republican Senators and one House Representative attempted a dialogue with Russia and putin in July 2018.
    They were ignored by putin, patronized by his government, ultimately betrayed and today are willing russian assets spouting russian propaganda.

    They and many more republicans hold the door open to putin’s control of DjT’s nascent dictatorship.

    1. im sure you have emails and messages in your private/personal correspondence that you would not want aired either

    2. James Liggins – I don’t, I remember a great teacher telling me “ never put anything in writing that you don’t want the whole world to know.” That was a lot of years ago, before email was ever thought of. Even truer today. Trump should try it.
