Russian Pop Star Rounded Up And Tortured To Death In Chechnya's Gay Purge

[Beet]

"Obviously our government isn't going to do anything about this, not even acknowledge it. Donald Trump may be happy to pick fights with North Korea, but there's no way he's going to bite Putin's hand by going after crimes against humanity in a federal subject of Russia."

Clearly your boy Trump knows what's going on then, since he loves both countries.

Unlike you, I've never supported Trump.

I gave him a chance. You've defended him a lot more than I ever have.

The talk of Russia hacking the election is nonsense. It's better to criticize Trump on substantive things like tax cuts, TrumpCare, coal subsidies, climate change, North Korea policy, travel ban, and so on.

The problem is you never actually criticise him on any of those things. You just show up in threads with negative news about him or Putin to deflect

It should be obvious that I'm against those things, and I have criticized him on some of this on this forum. If there was an acceptable opposition, I'd be criticizing Trump a lot more.

I mean, yes that's true, but you're using "whataboutism". The topic wasn't even about Saudi Arabia. It was about Chechnya's vicious behavior. Why even bring Saudi Arabia up in the first place?

Obviously this on Russia, and Ramzan Kadyrov is certainly a terrible tyrant, but why single them out when there's Saudi Arabia?

This thread is about Russia. Why do you need to deflect? Few would disagree with you that Saudi Arabia's human rights record is terrible, bu if you want to discuss that and the USA's relationship with SA create another thread. But of course you don't actually care about gay rights in Saudi Arabia beyond it's ability to be used as a distraction when talking about Russia

A gay person was tortured to death and you're doing...this. Calling those who speak out against it "hypocritical". Take a moment to think about what you've become.
