Russian Politician Calls for Kidnapping of U.S. Congressman on Live TV

“This is how we should be dealing with these bastards,” a Russian lawmaker said after advocating for the abduction of Rep. Ruben Gallego over his recent comments on Ukraine.

With tensions between the United States and Russia already at a boiling point, the Kremlin’s extensive propaganda apparatus is throwing more gasoline at the fire.

Appearing on state TV show 60 Minutes on Wednesday, State Duma member and chairman of Russia’s nationalist Rodina party Aleksei Zhuravlyov openly advocated for the abduction and imprisonment of U.S Congressman Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) over comments he made about how to handle the ongoing Ukraine-Russia crisis.

After returning to the United States from his recent trip to Ukraine, Gallego urged the Biden administration to take additional steps to deter further Russian aggression toward its neighbor by sanctioning Russia and arming Ukraine. In his interview from Kyiv on Sunday, Gallego told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s appetite for another escalation in Ukraine may be tempered only by a harsh military response.

Gallego said that Ukraine should be provided with more advanced weaponry that “will actually put a toll on the Russian troop movements and, you know, unfortunately that means we have to kill some Russians.” He added that Russians “only understand pure power, and we have to give the Ukrainian army and special forces the ability to do that.”

1. Don't you love that!

2. Mr. Zhuravlyov sounds a lot like some republicans.

Or some republicans sound a lot like Mr. Zhuravlyov. It's hard to tell the difference anymore.

11. They'r kissin' cousins........

Totalitarian fascists all.

3. Trump emboldened russia all throughout his disgraceful squatting in the oval office.

Russia has played a big roll in making sure the propaganda republicans listen to supports stealing the next election in republican states, so that trump can be put back in office, and we can become a totally owned subsidiary of the russian dictatorship.

4. Yo Al - remember what happened in Feb 2018?

'They beat our a--es': Russian mercenaries talk about humiliating defeat by US in reportedly leaked audio

Sure, they were just some mercs run by Prigozhin, but you think your official Russian military organization would fare any better?!!

Yeah, uh NOPE

FUCK RIGHT OFF

[Mr.Bill]

5. Compared to how Trump treated the Russians,

Biden is Godzilla, trust me. He remembers the cold war, which by the way, we won. To Trump, Russia and Putin were nothing but the possibility of a hotel deal.

There's a new Sheriff in town, Mr. Putin. And he ain't looking to build a hotel in Russia.

6. Fuck Russia.

7. About 10,000 shoulder fired

laser guided anti-tank weapons would give Ukraine an edge in driving the Russians back.

[Duppers]

18. Indeed!

👍

8. Some said other counties were afraid of TFG because he was unpredictable. I say he was totally

predictable, most cowards are predictable. While he will order the assassination of an Iranian general, we all know he is afraid of his own shadow. He was afraid to even fire people face-to-face let alone confront a hostile world leader. He would only confront and threaten our allies. Biden, now he is unpredictable and I loved how he stood up for Ukraine, unlike Benedict Donald.

9. I know some Congress critters I WOULD LOVE to give them for free...

Marjorie Taylor Green for starts...

[SKKY]

10. Dude just flexed on Russia like a Boss. Wow.

[FakeNoose]

12. When the Wikileaks guy gets here, it should be interesting

Julian Assange should have a lot to tell us once he gets extradited to the US. His info on the Russians won't be current, it will be from 5 or 6 years ago, but so what? Maybe it will open people's eyes as to how the Russians have been dealing in the US since Chump came on the scene. Also he'll have background info on the sneaky illegal things that Pootie did to get Chump elected in 2016.

Whatever Pootie did here in the US, multiply it x100 - and that's what he's doing in Russia.

13. Congressman Gallego is a former Marine with infantry training and combat experience in Iraq

Right. Try fucking around with him.

[Duppers]

17. And he serves on....

Armed Services Committee;

And...
The Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces;

And chairs the Subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations.

Just let the Russians piss him off...he'd have a fast, hard talk with Biden.

[sarge43]

19. Even better n/t

[pwb]

14. Come and try to get him you Russian pukes.

You are not a pimple on our ass.

[budkin]

15. FUCK THE KREMLIN

Pieces of authoritarian shit.

[Thomas Hurt]

16. Life is hard when the new US President doesn't continue trying to fellate Vlad...

[Takket]

20. That's how you do with grandstanding blowhards

[garybeck]

21. However, I'm not sure saying we need to kill Russians is helpful

Gallego said that Ukraine should be provided with more advanced weaponry that “will actually put a toll on the Russian troop movements and, you know, unfortunately that means we have to kill some Russians.”
