    You should have placed the recommended timestamp about 20 seconds earlier, because I think that's the real highlight, when he sanctimoniously says "ask ALEXEI NAVALNY or any of his followers . . . "

    Thanks, Jon, we're glad to have you back so you can sanctimoniously cape for a literal fascist. That's what late night "comedy" really needed, another finger-wagging liberal doing drive-by name-drops of stories he chooses not to understand in order to grandstand to scoundrels who are just a hair's breadth worse than he is personally.

      Liberal media ghouls keep talking about Navalny like he was on the cusp of revolution, like he was leader of some mass movement in Russia just about to take power. My understanding is the average Russian had never heard of him, his only role in the state was something like a ceremonial appointment, an he wasn't in a party that held electoral power anywhere. It would be like saying Trump's main opposition was Gary Johnson.

      If liberals actually wanted to talk about Putin's largest opposition in Russia, it would have to be the Communist Party. I know they're not great, but I've never heard western liberals mention them. Liberals probably think Putin is the head of the Communist party

        There is zero - absolutely zero chance that Western libs will ever support any socialist or communist movement in the developing world. Except for the ones that are sus.

        Dugin is another good example of Westerners not understanding Russia. Before the assassination of his daughter basically nobody in Russia had ever heard of this guy and he had no state power whatsoever. If you believed the left-liberal chauvinist vibe about Russia and Putler you would think he's Rasputin himself, whispering into Putin's ear everyday despite the two having no relations in reality.
