Putin has decided that Russia is going to be a 'safe haven' for people who want to trade liberal Western ways for Russian 'moral values'

  • Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
  • Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with "Russian spiritual and moral values."
  • The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.

I don’t expect people who take him up on that will enjoy it if coming from America. Just a guess.

I know a lot of people who should go! They won’t of course, but it would be great if they did.

And who have just relocated their best hostages to within Putin’s power. Yes, bring your nine children and wife along to Russia–now stay in rank on the front line, or maybe your oldest gets to come serve in your place (earlier than they would have anyway)!

That would be a sideways move.

Changing from one oligarchy to another oligarchy.

Well, if you become a whistleblower or if you are a journalist that the west wants to arrest, or get rid of, that might be your best bet.

Edward Snowden is alive and kicking.

this is just rebranding oligarchy in a way thats palatable to religious whackjobs, like US conservatives.

rebranding oligarchy

How? The billionaires and corporations own the most important resources while having great influence over our elections and politicians.

We are only a republic or a “democracy” in our dreams, but in reality, we are also already a fascist country with our police state.

Not to mention the Patriot Act and the many more policies that follow.

The USA PATRIOT Act was a landmark Act of the United States Congress, signed into law by President George W. Bush.

nothing youve said here negates my point. these kinds of messages arent meant for people paying attention.

im not disagreeing with you. rebranding is all about optics, and attempting to change peoples view of something... often a terrible thing.

As an American, I know about our regime-change wars and about our military leaks, including some of our real civilian causalities in our forever wars.

Not to mention our civil rights activists keep dying, as well as other information about the three letter agencies.

I try to avoid races to the bottom, especially when comparing citizen deaths in the US and Russia.

It will not make any nation more popular.

I add that due to encounters with non-Americans.

Alexei Navalny isn’t. I wonder what the difference could be?

    That’s a different issue. The point was if she had done it in Russia, not only would she not have been allowed to transition, she’d be dead.

    That is why Chelsea Manning was brought up. Because if she had done what she did in Russia, she would have been murdered by the state for doing it.

    I wonder what the difference could be?

    Actually, it’s pretty simple. Edward Snowden exposed government surveillance and ran away, seeking asylum to protect himself after revealing what he believed was in the public’s interest. Navalny, on the other hand, wasn’t motivated by public interest—he actively betrayed his country, aligning with foreign interests and openly opposing the government. Unlike Snowden, who wisely fled, Navalny stayed behind like an imbecile. And guess what happens to traitors in Russia? It’s not like in the US, where all that matters is money, fast food, and the latest social media trends—Russia doesn’t mess around when it comes to nationalism.

    Snowden never wanted to be in Russia. He was trapped there inadvertently by diplomats.

    They can have them.

    Preferably before November.

    I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from “Western liberal ideals” is going to help with that somehow.

    Probably. “Come to Russia! Is safe place! Is not place with liberals! What? No, we don’t need bodies for military! No conscription of foreigners here!”

    “If it works for Isis, surely this will work for me.”

    Odd thing is, he might not be far off. He could try to sell some incels on hot single Russian women whose men have all died in 60 year old tanks. Also maybe some gravy seals might be willing to sign up. Maybe when Trump loses he’ll move there followed by some of his MAGA cult, and they’ll be this English speaking enclave in Russia somewhere. Could be the premise for a sci-fi tv show.
