    So uh, I appreciate everyone’s sentiment, but this would actually make our problems worse. Living in Russia does not prevent you from running a propaganda network, though sanctions might possibly interfere with supplements sales.

    What living in Russia definitely does do, though, is prevent our legal system from reaching you with any form of consequences. Many of our fiercest propaganda foes do live safely in Russia where we just cannot reach them very easily, and they are still a major problem. A lot of the fake local “news” websites, for instance, are run by one single American expat, living in Russia. He just remakes them when they get taken down, he’s made hundreds, all spreading a mix of copied real news and standard Russian propaganda.

    Things aren’t always as simple as they seem. Most things, actually.

      If Alex Jones actually goes to Russia to live, I have $100 saying that within 6 months he’ll be “asked” to do war correspondent shit and will wind up like that katsap whose face was all mangled and had to stop a civvie car to get a ride to the hospital.

      Oh no! Ukrainian partisans infiltrated their compound and gunned them all down after they became valid targets as official propaganda apparatchik!

      Shame.

      I sure would like it if these people couldn’t cast their vote to sell us to fucking Russia.
