Would like to have seen that

The discussion heated up when Polish MP Grzegorz Braun took the floor, declaring that he did not want to take part in the "anti-Russian crusade" of those gathered. "It is not our business to call for a change of government, to teach democracy and criticize everyone around us," he said, calling for "normalization instead of escalation." Shouts erupted in the hall, and Russian oppositionists did not leave his comment unanswered. "You are a member of the European Parliament! It is shameful to be a Putinist in 2025!" Yashin exclaimed, pointing a pencil at Brown. "I want to tell a fan of Mr. Putin that we envy you the fact that you can sit here in a freely elected parliament and express your opinion without fear of being poisoned like Alexei Navalny, or shot in the back like Boris Nemtsov, or imprisoned like Ilya and me," Kara-Murza retorted. "Appreciate this freedom!"

Freed Russian dissident Kara-Murza: Death would be too mild a punishment for Putin

“At first I thought they were going to shoot me, then it was like in a very good film.” Speaking in Berlin, Russian opposition activist Vladimir Kara-Murza reflected on his release from Russian prison this summer as part of the largest prisoner exchange between Western countries and Moscow since the end of the Cold War. In a brick building resembling a medieval castle, he told his audience of his…

Russian civil society activist Vladimir Kara-Murza may be the victim of a second poisoning attempt.

Last July, Trump went on national television to declare that Vladimir Putin was “not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.” This was, of course, two years after Putin invaded Ukraine in an attempt to annex Crimea.

One day after Trump’s first official telephone conversation with Putin--you know, the one for which the White House seems to have no transcript because it appears to have turned off the regular recording equipment--Putin launched Russia’s largest offensive in Ukraine in months. Trump’s response: nothing. Perhaps he was too busy fighting with U.S. allies like the Prime Minster of Australia and the President of Mexico.

Now Vladimir Kara-Murza, a pro-democracy and human-rights activist in Moscow who has testified before Congress in support of sanctions against Russia (and also a close friend of murdered opposition leader Boris Nemtsov), was mysteriously poisoned for the second time in two years. Trump’s response: again, nothing. His new Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson--who, as the CEO of Exxon, spent over $300,000 lobbying against sanctions against Russia--also said nothing.

When pressed about Putin’s evident willingness to murder his political opponents, Trump shot back: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think? Our country’s so innocent?” He refused to criticize Putin or his actions in any way.

It’s not really that surprising: Trump must be awfully grateful for everything Putin did to get Trump elected. He’s just returning the favor.
