The Russian people across their nation are protesting corruption

Would it not be fantastic if the opposition in Russia and the common person here in the USA join together as protesters with a common goal. Bringing down Putin and his corruption along with Trump and his corruption at the same time.
We have proven, with our protests, that the ACA is safe for a while. Communication is much easier today. I know the Russian people are aware of our protests against Trump. The Russian Murderer and his Puppet need to go the hell away.
Maybe 2017 will be the year of the PEOPLE.

Or if our Secretary of State told Putin that if he jailed and killed the political opponent that his police detained this morning, we will NEVER lift sanctions.

Of course, that would suggest we were still leader of the free world.

They read English better than most of us can read Cyrillic (Russian).
And they're on the internet just like we are.

The Russian newspapers are full of "fake news" too, so they get their info from the west.
Long live free speech and freedom of the press!

I hope they like us deal with our respective little "dick taters" in a most fast & unpleasant way.

THEM & US.
"When the people lead, the leaders will follow", don't know whose quote, but it works for me..

although I'd add, '& corrupt leaders, held accountable & punished'.
