Why are you even engaging him? His opinions are fucking worthless, he's a brainwashed ultranationalist piece of shit. May as well just insult him for being such a complete fucking moron. The sort of "mind" that can honestly try to defend this politician and his statements. If he ever had any sort of objective judgement it is far, far gone. Probably voted for him, given how defensive about it he is.
Also imagine ANY european politician making these same statements. Even the most rabid far-right party in Europe would be publically lambasted. But this sort of fascist bullshit is perfectly normal in russian politics. The real scary part is not the personal insults, but his threat of getting the journalist fired, which is not idle at all. A job being under threat is the least of the worry of journalists there. Their lives are on the line everytime they dare take any stance critical of these fucking oligarchs. Not fake bullshit made-up Alex Jones threat, but actual fear for their lives. Strange how all the "buh buh but The West is so ebil!!11:!! Da zionist jewish NWO is source of all pain in duh wurld DUUHHRHRH" retards can't see the difference.
