Interesting how here in the US we talk about Russia being a place where anyone who speaks up ends up falling out a window, yet we also have a long track record of killing anyone who speaks truth to power. We only give a venir of dissent, if you see some public figure challenging the government, it’s safe to bet that their campaign isn’t a threat to the ruling class in some way.

Wut. The US has a list of people to assassinate. Its not a conspiracy theory, they admit it.

They even had to come up with a euphemism "targeted killing" because it is illegal to assassinate, yet they still do it.

I dont think any US Americans are unaware that the US is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world, including in assassinations.
