Pussy Riot’s Nadya: Russian Protestors Are ‘Fighting For Democracy’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
This is the best guest ever on MSNBC
:):) Russians fight for democracy while Americans fight for dictatorship….weird times indeed
@kozak2010998 I don’t think Jesus would of approved of much of the fighting. Especially not that part where they tried to overturn the country’s democracy because they wanted to crown a cruel authoritarian!
Actually… its frightening the amount of Americans who straight out started WORSHIPING Trump like a deity. I’ve seen people claiming they would follow Trump’s words before that of Jesus!!
China Joe
@Robert Fernandez Russia Trump
@goodo China Joe, Russia Trump,.. it’s funny😁
@Baby Teano well i thought so:)
God bless your fight I hope your people wake up let’s bring light to all the corruption
It’s time Putin needs to go!!
“….Along with the rest of the world’s TYRANT DICTATORS”!!! G-Mommie
That’s heartbreaking that Masha is jailed and that Nadya continues to have nightmares about the treatment she received at a work camp.
WTF http://www.antifa.com takes you straight to the WH. I voted Democrat and these guys burnt my beautiful city of Portland down. 😱🤮🤬
@Engage360 dude look out the window. Portland is still there. Minneapolis is still there. Kenosha is still there. No cities have disappeared.
@Engage360 your silly. That website was hacked & routed to biden months ago…
Wow I didnt know they were arrested 🙁 thats heartbreaking!
@T Ockie
*They threw her into the hole.*
don & vlad exiled together
Thank you for giving Nadya a voice. 🙏
Hang in there, sweetie. Keep up your fight….it’s the good one. I will pray for you and for Russia! Godspeed
Her English is beautiful.
To all the Russians out there, please fight hard for your democracy. As Americans, we know military strength or international leverage doesn’t mean anything if your democracy suffers for it.
The People of the world are ready for a change. Tyrants are on notice.
Tell that to China
Except in the USA. We’ve got a huge contingency of dictator loving whack- jobs
@Steve Carrigan
There is a brief video out there (unless it has been canceled by YouTube) showing a Chinese political professor addressing the Chinese Politburo. He told them and assured them United States politicians in very high places who were bought off by the Chinese Central Government.
@Steve Carrigan yeah the left. All hail potato head Biden
Your lips to god’s ears.
This video of police attacking fed up peaceful protestants in Russia, demonstrates the way the Capitol police in US should have dealt with the insurrectionist domestic terrorists on January 6th. The contrast is appalling.
It’s heartbreaking to see brave Russian people like Navalny, Nadya, and Masha literally risk their lives to make Russia a democracy, while we have hateful imbeciles, here, ready to throw democracy away. SIGH 🙁
«No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…» – Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947
The Corona Virus did a lot of damage in Russia. There are Elections coming up in 2024. Previously Putin may have won elections in Russia. But I think he’s legitimately worried about 2024.
@Tsubadai Khan
Fake election will be again.
Russia is technically has democracy. They also hold election every few years! After all democracy literally means THE TYRANNY OF THE MAJORITY! ROFLOLOL
Don’t pretend that the USA is a democracy. You live in an oligarchy, just like the Russian Federation.
Yes. a great leader to all the kids out there
thanks for having her,
Proud of this woman hope she is safe ❤️
She’s very Victorian plague chic and I’m digging it.
Its what russian school girls wear…She is basicly in a school girls outfit…
The whole might of the Russian police state brought to bear on such young and mild-looking women. Where is the justice and fairness in Russia?
The same place that justice and fairness is in the United States.
Fyi, 25% of the worlds prisoners, are in the U.S. penal system, with over 2.2 million of its citizens incarcerated; most of them for minor drug offenses that were turned into “felonies” and “felony misdemeanors” by the ongoing, decades-long “war on drugs”
Also, “prison labor camps” is a real thing in the United States;
Some (..”capitalistic”) companies guilty of exploiting prisoners for pennies/hour labor ? : Wal-Mart. McDonalds. Nike. Microsoft. Intel. IBM.Sprint. BP. Boeing, and dozens of others.
The U.S. has no place to be telling others how to operate, function or run their societies ..or their government. The U.S. is a dysfunctional mess; it might just have more (..neglected and ignored) issues than Time magazine.
@David Fitch Ok Vlad. The US government is nowhere near as corrupt and repressive as Putin’s regime. There can be no honest comparison.
@Robert Kinoy “Vlad” ? : Whatever.
You missed the point; And/or refuse to acknowledge just how bad things really are (..and have been for decades), in the U.S. for the vast majority of its very own citizens.
@Robert Kinoy The US is much more corrupt then Russia give me one example where the US isnt corrupt…Lobbying in Russia is at least a crime…
@Robert Kinoy The US is just as much of an oligarchy as the Russian Federation.
Jesus take the wheel in Russia… Let the truth prevail!
USA – Billionaires control the government.
China – Government controls Billionaires.
Russia – Billionaires are the government.
She is very brave to go on tv and fight for democracy. No telling what Putin would try to do to her.
