    Pretty hilarious to think that Putin, proud capitalist, friend of capitalists from his own country, would have a grievance with other capitalists especially a fucking health insurance CEO

    It’s like how libs have deluded themselves over Snowden. I wasn’t even aware until somewhat recently, but some non zero amount of the insane pro-spying apparatus cranks have begun pretending Snowden running to Russia for asylum was anything other than a necessity for him to remain not in prison. Instead of analyzing for five seconds why the NSA feels the need to demand backdoors into everything and all the other insanity that Snowden confirmed, they’re just screaming about “Weird he went to Russia!” Clearly he went to Russia because it’s one of only a few nations that will harbor fugitives from the US state and has enough of a functioning state to actually protect the person to some degree. Not for altruistic reasons, but mostly just to stab their thumb in the eye of the west (a noble enough reason).

    Anyway, bit of a tangent, but these “omg Russia/Putin!” libs are fucking insufferable. 99% of the shit they project onto Russia they’d be better served considering how the US is doing worse and to a larger magnitude. The country they live in and can, on paper, actually effect change in is where they should be focusing this anger and derangement. Be deranged at the democrats and republicans! Or CEOs!
