And this is what 40% of USA would like to have !
Remember, Putin is just a name, the name is different in USA.

[romandevivo]

Whether or not there is a rule of law left in the US will become abundantly clear in the coming 14 months.

[TheodoreRizzo]

He was dumb to comeback to Russia and pretend like nothing happened

[marisabenson]

Glory and victory to Ukraine and the courageous defenders of their freedom. Long live the independent nation of Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Long range weapons will end the war sooner.

[maskedmarvyl]

No rule of law in Russia? That's a brilliant observation.

[conehead]

Until his body is identified, he is not dead

HEY! Just like America. If Trump were to God forbid get 4 more years, he would approve of the this method. I’m sure he thinks Putin is genius for this. Has no one asked the question yet? We know how Trump feels. Wait for it.

[gordonthorne]

Rule of law doesn't apply to a murdering mercenary in any way shape or form. Not a martyr to any cause. He got PAID millions for killing for a brutal, repressive regime.

Weeks ago I made a cute meme thing of Prigozhin being discovered driving a Weinermobile. Little kids running away. When I did it, I had no idea he had made his first fortune selling hot dogs. Now I've learned that his connections were on the plane with him. His miniweiners were killed along with him.

[artyfhartie]

If Trump becomes dictator, Putin will be showing him how to make planes fall out of the sky

[claycountybrian]

😐 the exact moment Don 💩 his diaper

[JusticeFALL-USA]

There's four types of Dictatorships

Dictatorships are authoritarian or totalitarian and they can be classified as military dictatorships, one-party dictatorships, personalist dictatorships, or absolute monarchies. 🇺🇲America, vote out all leaders who demonstrate the aforementioned personality traits.

This is what the next election is about. Trial by jury or trial by falling out of windows.

[jrich]

Please trump do a runner to Russia, I really really hope that if you fly into Russian air space that doesn't happen to you...I really really mean this too...🤣

[danieldesjardins]

Ask the Florida people who got arrested for voting.

[jamesrauch]

I really appreciate that Ali keeps Ukraine and the Russian madness in the news.. we cannot ever give up on Ukraine.. we must give them the tools they need to win this war and not just enough to "not lose"

[ilasegal]

We need proof of who was on the plane. 🛩️

[joshuamowdy]

Hello.

His death is unconfirmed.
Which shows us our plan is finding root.


Have you forgotten all the disquises found in his moscow apartment?
The money (cash)?
Etc.

Res resourceful.
And OWES a debt.
He wont forget this. His honour dictates.




Good luck.

Amb. McFaul couldn't have said it better, we shouldn't take our freedoms in it's many iterations for granted, because it's usually when these freedoms are gone that we suddenly realize how important they are to all of us so we really should protect our democracy from people who believe in far-right and extremist ideologies and are doing their best to take these freedoms away from us. We tend to see the value of these freedoms that we take for granted in out daily lived when we lose them, so we shouldn't let these far-right MAGA republicans tell us that we don't them.

[niclewis]

To Putin's capatilist oligarchy it's just business. When Prighozhin wouldn't give up control of his African businesses he had to go.
