Russia: Bastion of Liberty or Human Oppressor?? [View all]

[MjolnirTime]

It can't be both.

How can a place be so backwards and horrific that they actually make laws against not just homosexuality, but they criminalize the very act of saying a word in favor of homosexuality??

How can this place at the same time be cheered on and glorified as some haven of Liberty for the single act of sheltering Edward Snowden??

Do the Russian efforts to protect Snowden absolve them of all other guilt?

I have seen supporters of Snowden cheering Putin on. How can they isolate their opinions from everything else Putin has done and is doing?

Based on all the other badness Russia is involved in, how can someone ignore the very real possibility that their intentions with Snowden are nowhere near righteous? They are not interested in his health or his Liberty. They are interested in what he knows about US Intelligence. They are interested in how they can use Snowden to damage the US politically.

How can anyone willingly wear the blinders necessary for seeing Russia as an advocate for Human Freedoms??
