2. last year our 14 year old and all her mates in class were bombarded with messages via Telegram to go and demonstrate , this is not uncommon and happens all the time many of the demonstrators are just teenage kids who know nothing about anything.

Our youngest was about to go to one of the demonstrations .. we asked what the *** are you demonstrating about.. she said her freedom of speech.. :laugh: Crazy hearing this from a 14 year old..we told her if she attends her suitcase will be ready outside the house when she returns .. that was the end of that!

Would you like your daughter bombarded with messages to go demonstrate ? Do you think it should be allowed ?

It's clear that the guy is a dishonest, racist, turd. As far as I can tell he is better known outside Russia than within. His presentation, well trained as it is, is designed to appeal to the nieve and easily led - kids and those with childlike minds.

There seems little doubt but that he is guilty of the crimes for which he was found guilty so no big surprise that more malfeasance has turned up.

I don't know to much about the guy as far as Im concerned they are all as bad as each other .. but it comes to something when you have to rally support through schools in Russia , kids 12/13/14/15 years old all being told to go and protest, most have no idea what they are even protesting about..

We have seen a few demonstrations 80% are just teenagers and what are they doing? making stupid videos for instagram and Tik Tok .. then you got the Western media making headlines about protests in Russia its all laughable really, for the kids its just a fun day out they do not even understand what problems they are causing.. It is the parents who get in trouble here if your 13 year old kid gets arrested..

Just google the protests its all kids just out of nappies ..

So the charges agaisnt assange are simply trumped up b.s. by sweden and western imperialist powers he opposes.

But the charges agaisnt Navalny are legit and not possibly trumped up by the russian powers that he opposes.

Seems convienient.

The charges from Sweden have been dropped, thats the 'funny' part, except if your name is assange.

But the charges agaisnt Navalny are legit and not possibly trumped up by the russian powers that he opposes.
Lets see: Was told not to go protest, bragged about it online how he was going to anyway, got arrested during the protest.

No clue about the guy other than some prior vid clips.

Just pointing out the linked articles odd opposing  view of  similar circumstances. (As it was referring to embezzelment charges)

I'm not some fan of his  or anything.
🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the information on Assange

Not the same charges, not the same situation.

I suspect both J. Assange and A. Navalny are rather ‘inconvenient’ to the powers to be. On the other side there motivations seem to be quite different.
