'Vladimir The Underpants Poisoner': Navalny Belittles Putin At Court Sentencing | Rachel Maddow
Yo, how do you say “captain underpants” in Russian? Can we (the free world) just start calling Putin whatever that is?
DON’T FORGET:
1 – MILLIONS of people protested against the US government, in the BLM movement.
2 – MILLIONS of people in the US protested against the “election fraud”.
3 – Russia requested documentation from Germany about the “Navalny poisoning” – Germany had none to show, or didn’t want them to be seen by the Russians.
4 – Americans never ever had suffered such a large scale interventionism, at plain view, from any nation, as Russia had, and still has, from the US. Even so the protests in the US were far, far stronger, than those in the Russia.
5 – The fact that someone, or thousands of people are protesting for some reason, doesn’t mean that their reason is a legit one. Otherwise, the Biden government should resign and Trump should remain in office, since the protests favored Trump.
6 – It’s a long-term practice from the US government, to pretend that every protest in a country with socialist government is based on legit reasons. If foreign countries did the same to the US, Biden should resign, and Trump should come back into office.
7 – Americans are ridiculous hypocrites.
@Hans Otto Kroeger Kaethler Let me guess. You’re a Facist, and a Trump supporter? Am I close?
@Jeff W. It’s strange: some people simply are totally incapable of sound and reasonable thinking. Everything is taken to the extreme: Republicans against China, Democrats against Russia. NONE, of them seems capable to ask some simple questions like: “Let’s see what really happened, let’s see what of what was said is really true, and let’s see what these proven facts mean”.
No, I am NOT a Trumpist. But if I see stupidity, and hate- preaching, and illegal interventionism in foreign internal affairs, it doesn’t matter to me if the individual is Christian, or Democrat, or Muslim, or a Jew, or a Republican, or a Chinese, or whatsoever: no matter who is the one who is telling such BS, it is BS. And if such BS is told in order to spread irrational hate against someone, or to instigate a revolution in a peaceful country, then my blood starts boiling.
@Sedition Selfi Good for you not brainwashed person.
@Ash Roskell idk. First idea comes to mind is aquaman. See, currently it’s a well know meme in Russia about putin’s aquadisco room in his mansion (as well as his dirt room). In protests, now, you might see people dancing to the meme song dedicated about this fact. Or, protesters literally shouting ‘aquadisco’ (аквадискотека). Memes makes protests more entertaining in the way.
So if you call him aquaman, it might take a few seconds to get it, but as soon as you say aquaman putin – they’ll get you right away. I think I would.
With you on that Navalny but I call Putin, Putin the Poisoner!!!!!!!!!
Navalny another western puppet. Only less then 10-100k went to protest on his behalf lmao LMAO.
Navalny is powerless! Putin control russia nuclear weapon LMAO
Russian Bots or Putin’s version of MAGA?
@Ryan lex And when Putin’s mind starts to go as he gets older, do you think he will willingly give up power? Or will someone more ruthless have to poison Vlad to take over?
And weaksauce
I’ve already gotten a Russian death threat for quoting Maester Pycelle and “Poison is a weapon of women, eunuchs and cravens”, so I consider myself to have a growing set of balls. Navalny though must have balls of polonium.
Navalny another western puppet. Only less then 10-100k went to protest on his behalf lmao LMAO.
You mean navalny is STUPID for Going back to Russia because he’d have to be Completely IGNORANT TO “think” that Russia wouldn’t arrest him and put him away for a long time!?? But obviously that’s what happened 🙄………
@Ryan lex “only” 10-100K? This is in many cities the first time people have been protesting since the Revolution… It’s sad if you don’t support freedom for yourself and your family and friends, and think it’s OK that politicians grab all the wealth of the land, and if you would have something to say against it, to have to take into consideration your own death… Personally I think it would be wonderful if Russia embraced values like democracy and liberty and the rule of law, with a zero tolerance of corruption.
@Miranda Bri I’d claim Putin & Co. is the ones that have been stupid to show their true face like this. They know that killing him now will cost dearly for every drop of blood and that they create 10 new Navalny for each 1 they remove. If they release him, then Putin will make a fool of himself. If they keep him imprisoned, they only prove he is scaring them.
There’s this thing called courage, and that is what Navalny have in abundance. That’s why the youth look up to him and get inspired by him, why we here in “the west” admire and support him etc.
The most important thing though is that it’s clearly in the best interest of both USA, Europe and Russia for someone like Navalny and the values he promote to get into power in Russia, since that can become a true end of the cold war, the end of NATO and perhaps instead a new kind of northern alliance, and the beginning of a new era, a golden age for Russia, where it with all it’s resources can become the most powerful and richest country in the world.
At least it’s not forbidden to dream of such things… I grew up when communism was still very much alive, and I don’t miss it, and I don’t think anyone in Russia miss it either…
@Miranda Bri it wasn’t stupidity, it was bravery.
Captain Underpants MEMEs are coming- Putin
Honestly, I think it is too good for him.
DON’T FORGET:
1 – MILLIONS of people protested against the US government, in the BLM movement.
2 – MILLIONS of people in the US protested against the “election fraud”.
3 – Russia requested documentation from Germany about the “Navalny poisoning” – Germany had none to show, or didn’t want them to be seen by the Russians.

It seemed like Rachel was trying hard not to laugh during this entire segment 😂
Rachel who? Lmao
Putin must be removed
The people of Russia likes navalny and Putin is worried abt that🇳🇿
Navalny another western puppet. Only less then 10-100k went to protest on his behalf lmao LMAO.
Russian Bots or Putin’s version of MAGAs.
@Jeff W. what next chinese bot. lmao🤣🤣
@Ryan lex Maybe Chinese MAGAs. Make All Generations Asians? You try thinking of one Russian bot.
FREE NAVALNY ❤️🧡💛💜💚💙
Should be an expression. He is so tough, got ‘ balls like Navalny’ ! xD
Navalny another western puppet. Only less then 10-100k went to protest on his behalf lmao LMAO.
First “Trump The Orange Fool”. Now “Putin The Underpants Poisoner”. Let’s hope “The Underpants Poisoner” goes the way of “Bunkerboy”.
Everything is going upside down
🗣SEEMS LIKE TRUMP IN THE US …🤔
All it takes is one brave, intelligent person to get inside Putin’s bubble and he will no longer be a world wide problem. The same holds true for the others one of which just tried to overthrow our government.
The bravest man in the world right now is Navalny.
No its Biden and Pelosi
And thats been sarcastic oh amd BLM RIOTERS
That crap is over… Said big Joe. Knock off the crap Russia!
Amazing how they programmed their Russian Bots to type English with a Russian accent.
😂🤣😂🤣 good brainwashed 🐑🐑🐑🐑
@S L Nope, I don’t live in Russia, they don’t allow that on the US, as far as I know.
I take that back, there is the MAGAs and Q-anon, but their brainwashing is self administered. Nothing like Q-anon in Russia? Da? Nyet?
@Jeff W. Bot can be anywere
the world needs to apply pressure on Putin and the Russian need to know just how Putin has been ransacking their treasury for his own gain
I hope the comment shaded toward “Putin Panty-Poisoner”
Brave man! Heart breaks for him
Yep. Balls of steel to go back
It’s more than just balls – he’s a true hero – someone who doesn’t think about themselves but the good of their nation.
Like the MAGA idiots, or like BLM?
Send Putin a message. Convict and punish Trump, maybe he might then listen to the US
