Leaked tape threatening to kill Russians

[bigdarryl]

[quinnox]

1. there is a lot of hate for Russians around

we have seen it at DU too, though not quite this blatant and vulgar, or course. I think some never got past the cold war or something.

[Spider Jerusalem]

4. Not for Russians, for the Russian government.

Which is a quasi-dictatorial gangster state with rampant corruption and oligarchic cronyism where political dissent is punished by being sent to Siberia or poisoned with polonium. And that's not even getting into Russia's retrograde anti-LGBT laws. Yes, a lot of people hate the Russian government. Why would they not?

[quinnox]

5. Well, excuse me for not joining in with the two minutes of hate. It doesn't do much for me.

[Spider Jerusalem]

9. So you support imprisoning political dissidents, then?

And making being gay in public illegal? Good to know.

[Comrade Grumpy]

13. Way to jump to conclusions. n/t

[Spider Jerusalem]

15. Wasn't talking to you.

if the answer isn't "yes", then the person I was replying to is so geopolitically ignorant his opinion is meaningless (since it's pretty clear there are reasons people may have for disliking Russia that have nothing at all to do with "not getting over the Cold War&quot .

[LanternWaste]

14. I don't think that a dislike of policies is equivalent to two minutes of hate meme thrown around

Though I don't think that a dislike of policies is equivalent to two minutes of hate meme thrown around like so much loose change, I do realize that a petulant conflation of the two is often necessary when lacking an actual premise, as melodrama is the strongest part of the sub-literate argument...

[2banon]

29. thanks for find that clip is perfect in this context.

the brainwashed fomented hatred is absolutely pathological.

[sabrina 1]

23. A lot of people hate the UK and US governments too, and throw in the French. Do you

support those people having the same 'solution' for all those states also?

Personally, I'm for never supporting any kind of violence to resolve issues because you can be sure that if you do, you have counterparts elsewhere who feel the same way.

24. Some would have made McCarthy proud.

Their witchhunt would have given Senator Asshole a few tears of joy. Of course the GOP won't apologize for the Cold War hysteria. I think they wish McCain was in office...so we could all be radioactive ashes by now!

Imagine that, blowback from constant propaganda and jingoism. I don't get the surprise, GOPukers live and breathe war and destruction.

[quinnox]

25. For sure. There are some fans of McCarthy-ite tactics here at DU

I may have to start posting his pic whenever I see this nonsense done. Usually, I ignore it as too idiotic to comment on.

[Benton D Struckcheon]

2. And this was proposed by some Russian...

Lots of stupid crap getting said.
The only one crossing borders and annexing stuff is the Russians, though. One side is stupid and impotent, the other is stupid and can actually do something about making that stupidity happen. Something to keep in mind.

[jakeXT]

3. Our favorite kleptocrat, she probably called from Germany

Nuke Russians in Ukraine ?

[hrmjustin]

6. I wonder if it is authentic.

If so she is one angry person.

[LittleBlue]

7. B-but they're just peaceful protestors threatening nuclear genocide

Nothing to see here folks.

[hrmjustin]

8. I thought they had no nukes.

[LittleBlue]

11. They don't because they gave them up

Judging by this tape, they're regretting that decision.

[truebluegreen]

10. Ukraine doesn't have nukes.

[reformist2]

12. And those are the neocons' "civilized" stooges!

[joeybee12]

16. Wow..from the RT, a Russian propoganda machine, no veriifcation it's even these

two people talking, and yet the Putin love here is so great this is acepted as fact...amazing...we need the unrec back.

[LittleBlue]

20. Per Twitter, she's admitted to saying it on her verified account. nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

21. ?

https://twitter.com/TymoshenkoUA


I do see that she recently met with that dastardly neo-con Howard Dean recently.

[LittleBlue]

22. Link

Tymoshenko confirmed that the conversation took place on Twitter from her verified account.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/ukraines-ex-pm-tymoshenko-take-arms-kill-russians-1441651

It's even translated:

A translation reads: "The conversation took place, but the 'eight million Russians in Ukraine' piece is a manipulation. In fact, I said that Russians in Ukraine are Ukrainians. Hello FSB [the Russian secret service] Sorry for the obscene language."

[joeybee12]

28. She claims it was edited and manipulated, and unlike th Putin lovers here,

I believe her..and I can't blame her for being angry after being imprisoned on trumped-up charged by Putin's puppets in the Ukraine.

[joeybee12]

17. Oh, and since Yulia was just released from prison, when was this

supposedly recorded?

[dilby]

19. Well after her release from Prison.

The Russians just took Crimea last week.

[okaawhatever]

18. I hope the pro-Russian, Putanistas, GG and Snowden fans absolutely denounce the spying by

Russia. I'm sure that is the first thing they'll complain about.

[Skidmore]

32. Somehow lots of peeple gave forgotten Alexander

Litvinenko. He may have bern a spy but Putin's vicious elimination of this man speaks volumes.

[nilesobek]

26. An unrec button would be sweet for these

hyperreactive demonization threads.

[pa28]

27. So who are the good guys in this story again?

The revolt in Ukraine was never as simple as some would have you believe.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

30. Another good reason for us to stay out of that quarrel.

[stevenleser]

33. Who could blame her? Their guy threw her in jail on trumped up charges.

For every Mandela that comes out of an unjust imprisonment loving his captors, I'll bet there are dozens more who are bitter.
