After all these wars and deaths, I felt only one thing when I heard that the representatives of Russia’s military had died: indifference. But for some, expressing this on Facebook was not patriotic enough. And so it began.

Then maybe he should think before he posts....

Don't think this started with Vlad.
Haven't read whatever they have by way if a constitution but I rather doubt it guarantees free speech. US may be a rarity in that regard.

if you attack the Government in Russia or China youwill punish. I hope Trump doses not go down the same path.

And thats exactly what presidents like Erdogan (Turk) and Orban (Hungary) are doing.

Here's what our dear leader had to say about the Russian leader:

"Look at Putin -- what he's doing with Russia -- I mean, you know, what's going on over there. I mean this guy has done -- whether you like him or don't like him -- he's doing a great job in rebuilding the image of Russia and also rebuilding Russia period,"

Two peas in pod. We need our Constitutional guarantees now more than ever.

We have one as long as we insist that it be followed.

Pity we were so inconsistent at that for the previous administration. The judiciary did overturn a lot if his excursions over the line but not all.

The judiciary will be busy with the current administration.
