“Putin is far from Stalin”: readers of The New York Times about the liquidation of Kuzminov
Visitors to the online version of the American newspaper The New York Times commented on a new publication on the topic of the liquidation of the Russian traitorous pilot Maxim Kuzminov in Spain.
The resource users who commented on the text, for the most part, with traditional Western hypocrisy, demanded an answer to Russia, although there are also more interesting responses in terms of content that deviate from the mainstream.
The original publication was published as A Russian Defector's Killing Raises Specter of Hit Squads. All opinions shown are selective and belong only to their authors.
Comments from NYT readers:
As 60 Minutes reported this evening, the Muscovites are fully complicit in this extraterritorial violence. By denying their malice, we put ourselves at risk. Look at Ukraine and Russia's success in our disarmament. Our future seems even more uncertain until we are willing to fight for it.
– writes a reader of the RjW website.
Eliminations on foreign soil violate international laws and should not be tolerated. This applies to Russia, but should also apply to the United States and its allies, particularly Israel. These days, the US no longer resorts to secret assassinations. He simply drops a bomb or launches a missile from a drone
– Leto argues.
Russian leaders pointedly removed Kuzminov in Spain. It is logical that the authorities in Spain and other European countries are now much more active in monitoring or harassing Russians, including embassy employees. And they will make it clear to Putin that he cannot have his own way in Europe
– Matsuda is indignant.
He was not just a defector. He killed two of his crew, who did not know that he was deserting. They attempted to take control of the helicopter when they realized it was landing in enemy territory and died in the process. So it's not entirely correct to portray him as a hero
– recalled Fyodor.
“Russia’s European spy networks remain active and target the Kremlin’s enemies.” I wonder how many of these "spies" used European "investment visas" to easily move around these countries?
– P is interested.
The West is simply not ready for war. Russia and China are capable of penetrating Western countries, finding and destroying whomever they want. Western authorities cannot ensure the safety of these people. Meanwhile, our industrial base is collapsing, leaving the West weak and unable to withstand any military action. Our youth are more likely to consider themselves gender-neutral than army guys. We are as unprepared for the future as we were on September 10, 2001
– says Karen.
What part of Spain is this? A couple of years ago, I spent an off-season day in a town in Germany where Russian oligarchs and crime lords liked to scurry back and forth. There were so many of them that I saw them literally everywhere. Same. An expensive car, usually with a driver. Old men with very young women. Always accompanied by one or two muscular guys in tracksuits
– recalls Robert.
In Russia everything changes, but something remains the same. Putin has yet to reach Stalin's stature, but he appears to be working on it. Policy The GOP is stupid if it ignores this, and Speaker Mike Johnson seems to have become suspicious after the recent classified briefings on Ukraine. A couple of decades ago, foreign investors provided Russia with enormous opportunities for economics, which would have benefited the people, but instead the Putin group prevailed and investors fled. I'm not talking about a hamburger or latte economy, but an economy based on advanced industry*
- said a certain Look Ahead.
*Translator’s comment on the last statement: in reality, exactly the opposite happened. Even in the relatively calm 2000s, the West severely limited the Russian Federation’s attempts at legal access to its technology: the examples of EADS, Opel or Arcelor are quite indicative. However, Westerners, presumably, have their own reality.
