@wai828 : Indeed, the list is too long to fit into a YouTube comment. You cannot criticise the government or protest about the Ukrainian war in Russia. That’s enough to be starting with. And if you do criticise Putin, and get any serious kind of following, then you might be shot in the back of the head in front of the Kremlin, tossed out of a high window or poisoned with Novichok (👈 I may have misspelled that last?). Just try getting your phone or tablet out in a busy Moscow train station, airport or bus stop? Faceless police will instantly demand your piece of tech and begin trawling through your emails, text messages and apps to see if you’ve said anything, “controversial,” or are using banned apps. You can go from there directly to jail, “Do Not Pass Go,” and either be looking at 15 years from a kangaroo court, or be offered, “freedom,” in exchange for enlistment in one of Russia’s meat shield units on Russia’s western front! The only comfort right minded people can take from recent developments is that at least the world is seeing Russia and Putin for what they really are now. 👍

@Alexandra-dd1su : Donbas is part of Ukraine, regardless of what some mentally ill hood in the Kremlin would have us believe. Just because Putin’s, “strategy,” has been to keep moving families sympathetic to Moscow into certain regions, giving them all kinds of financial perks and all the best jobs in those regions and then, a little later, having them, “declare,” they are now a part of Russia, doesn’t make it so. Imagine if this was America, and people were suggesting that you can get the Moscow hoods out of your political sphere and out of your land, but you’ll need to concede Florida as part of Russia from now on? Russia has still got 20% of Georgia’s territory in their illegal grip. Or imagine it was the UK, and you were being asked to surrender Cornwall, or Wales or Kent? You would quite rightly dismiss this as lunacy! But the people of Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus and so many other regions have been expected to, “compromise”? No wonder Lukashenko is drunk all the time. He must know his dicktatorship is on borrowed time?

@HouseholdDog : The, “literal,” people being compromised are the organisations and their backers if the happen to be from outside the country, so they’re, “literally,” going to have an opinion on the matter. How you leap from that to any conspiracy theory, especially in a globalised world where most YouTube gamers rely on patrion subscribers from LITERALLY all over the planet, doesn’t make them, “foreign agents,” does it? What’s most laughable about you’re shillery is that you’re pretending such a law would, “expose,” foreign money, when everyone KNOWS that the people behind this law are THE FOREIGNERS! It’s the Russians! And they’re the ones making threats from the Kremlin on Twitter about potential invasions now! Your talking points hold less water than a sieve with a hole in it, silly boy. 🤣

@HouseholdDog : No. You make no sense, because you are obtusely refusing to accept the obvious. Yes. The law, “should,” expose them for funding 100% of some politicians’ careers in Georgia, as well as various publications and web streams, but it is not aimed at them, but specifically anyone from the free WEST. It’s call, “Hypocrisy,” and you’ll find it in your Russian / English dictionary between, “Heir Putin,” and, “Hyper-Stalinist.”
The FACT of the matter is that Russia illegally occupies about 20% of Georgia’s real estate and all but openly considers the whole of Georgia to belong within Putin’s empire. Russia is horrified that Georgia threatens to become a free, independent country, protected by treaties and trade agreements that would free them from corruption (as a requirement for entry into the EU, for example) and perhaps lead to them joining NATO and the UN, making it impossible for Putin to attack them without bringing about World War Three.
But, you know this as well as I do. Tell me? Are you an algorithm or a real person? If a person, what do they pay you? And was it worth that for your soul?
