This is what 74 million Americans want. How far we have fallen

[nicklasmelander]

Did this journalist make it back alive?

[jeffeastwood]

Putin cites and blames the United States but he's not talking to an American.

[danieldonahoe]

Tucker Carlson didn't have the balls to ask such a question. But he did visit a grocery store!

[Hhhhaaattt]

He's such a baby. He can't stand competition so they all die. Very suspicious

[SeeJayPlayGames]

he never actually answered the question of "is this what you call democracy?"

It was a yes/no question, and he said "that's life"

[soonny]

I'm a dictator ok? That's life.
Hey, at least the guy's honest about it.

[sohamnalgundwar]

That reporter ain't gonna be for long

[LinoNoble]

The answer anyone would expect from a dictator...

[bennoble]

Trump and Putin are sounding more and more alike.

[karolinawww]

I don't remember politicians in the US drinking glow-in-the-dark tea or having unfortunate accidents when close to windows in the recent years... What a psycho

[joslyn]

What I find disturbing is how cold he talked about Navalny death more like that's an achievement for him and his form of democracy, than is a failure

[redrock]

trump's in the back takin' notes.

[iamabl]

let me translate what putin really said “Off with his head!!”

[Jersey__Mike]

Why do evil people live long natural lives?

[thegodfatherroyals]

This is the right question that real journalist should ask Vladimir putin

[andrewfyfe]

Well done Keir. A real journalist. Brave and independent.

[i_hateithere]

He’s a dictator. He will always be a dictator.
This is what’s going to happen in the USA 🇺🇸 if y’all don’t wake UP.

[gianpietroprevitali]

Whataboutism at its finest ...of course it is Navalny's fault to be located in such a merry prison for such 'grievous crimes'.. just saying

[paulwoodford]

Do not vote Trump in if you don’t want this!
