This didn't say a word on how Putin's friends are hurt by sanctions..

Russia might not be STRONG as it claims, but it is ALSO NOT AS WEAK AS YOU THINK IT IS.

Who is watching during Ukraine Russian War?

[TurfSurf]

I thought he was talking about the Clintons and the democrats LOL

[rukhsanakhan]

Bill is truly brave...but I wish he would lay low right now...I'm worried for him 😔

[youneverknow]

Which version is more probable?
(A) I am foreigner went into Russia to set up a fund, I love so much Russia and Russian people and so decided to expose corruption in Russia and fell out with the regime, my attorney was jailed and bitten to the death (put thumbs up); or

(B) I am foreigner and moved to Russia to set up an investment fund, I love money so much so I did not pay taxes in Russia and that is why my accountant (not a lawyer) was interviewed to find more facts against me, I am powerful man in USA, I can spearhead Magnistsky Law to put sanctions against Russian officials to avoid criminal charges, I even can silence my accountant who is detained to his death and Russian officials would responsible for that (up thumbs down).

Bill Browder is such an amazing person

[Infamous]

Shoulda been on board to begin with sanctions will never be lifted against these thieves.

[DavidHanks]

This guy is pretty confident for something that is at the top of Putin's hit list. He has to know that there are people watching him around the clock.

[vanya]

It also hurts the 145 million people living in Russia plus millions of others who rely on Russia for either imports or exports.

[benkvulothong]

Every country has problem. Is he exposing corruption in other country as well. Its hard to believe this guy.

[drakedoragon]

Did he say in “regular countries” people go into government to serve the people? Apparently he wasn’t referring to USA... lol.

[Dirlo]

You gotta realize Russia is doing better with sanctions

[rala]

Bill is just a man who have his own opinion.

[taichitao]

no countries have the balls to say Nato sanctions, we welcome nuclear anytime

[davidanzola]

Put a wall in Russia not in Berlin, a wall of sanctions

[oblizkin]

*how can it hurt his friends when he can literally convict a business of some phony charges and steal all their assets and give em to his friends. Hes done it before* 😳

[priceless]

Three sides to every war one side the other side and the truth
