haven’t seen anyone else talking about any “quid pro quo” deal being a confirmed piece of news... so I’m hopeful this is, uh, not quite right some kind of way -

can only reply, “WHAT fucking State Dept.?!??l”

My dearest hope is that this Sputnik article is pure bs, sent out to test the waters, cause upset and fear - yeah, it’s working so far, ARRGGHH - but maybe it’s bogus, AND also, the proper authorities are waiting for his arrival at the airport and will look after him properly

remember Trump said Putin made a great offer ?

It does show though how they have both got under Putin's skin, which shows the way in getting back at him.

Everytime he tweets something, I fear for his life and his family’s. He has been #1 on Russia’s wanted list.

Your input is much appreciated on this board!!!

10. Yes, it's been well over a year since my very first post on DU

and everything in it (unfortunately) has been verified now. Back then most people on DU refused to beleive most of it, some even called me a russian troll. Since yesterday, friends in my own circle who dismissed all of my findings back then (that I shared on facebook) are now saying I was right about everything after they saw yesterday’s press conference. The good thing I had planted the seed back then so even they dismissed it at first, everything made perfect sense to them yesterday and they are now scared. But they get the whole picture on global scale (this war is global).
Details are important but it is much easier to understand and make sense of it all when you learn about putin’s global plans.
Magnitsky Act is extrordinarily effective and Putin is determined to wreck the world over it.

what we’re experiencing here, and you did your damndest to prepare us!!! I remember your anguish when you tried to tell your friends (and the rest of us) what was REALLY happening...and their response to you was - eyes glazing over. How awful for you.

And I remember when you wrote that the real “turning point” for you was when that KellyAnne Conway woman used the expression, “alternative facts” - if you had had any doubts at all about the dire position this country was in, that moment dispelled them for you, utterly and completely.

Yes, it took WAY TOO LONG, but that crucial seed you planted “back in the day” is really helping your friends (and the rest of us) gain an understanding of just what we’re up against...I think of what Masha Gessen said on Maddow just after the election - Rachel said (something like), oh, no, but that couldn’t happen HERE, could it?!??

And Masha said, well, maybe a problem here might be that Americans have “a lack of imagination” when confronted with the possibilities she was presenting (just as you were)...and boy, did she call THAT one right (as did you)...

I do hope you will stay here on DU and give us your much-needed perspective - I wonder who else here remembers that first post of yours, and knows that you speak the truth and know what you’re talking about!!!

I so appreciate what you have taught us, speaking from your very personal experience, Alex...

We should queue up some deportations. Lots of them...like ALL of their diplomatic staff.

Start investigating all Russian immigrants for FSB and GRU ties. If any surface...instant deportation.

Stop the Russian mothers from having kids over here 2.
