I think you are talking about Clinton Foundation, aren't you? A joke, of course.
Can you help me to access statistics from which you inferred "double digit portion"?
Not that I am pro-Russian-government, I am not. I just sense here something that is not completely right with my view of the world and I want to get better in that regard.

- thesz 6y agoAnd now I'd like to see a list of living Russian people who oppose Russian government. The problem, for me, was the claim about double digits part (I think it was about percentage - the double digits thing).
- mv4 6y agoOpposing is not enough. Opposing while being popular (or wealthy), now that puts one at risk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_... https://www.rferl.org/a/nemtsov-murder-russia-political-killings-putin/28586632.html https://www.rferl.org/a/nemtsov-murder-russia-political-kill...
- thesz 6y agoYou keep presenting a list of homicides and/or contract killings. Going by exemplar logic in your answer to gdy above, you are either paid by, say, Navalny or you are a troll. Okay then.
- gdy 6y agoIt also lists Chechen terrorists. The same kind of list for the US would include thousands of people killed by drone strikes.
- tw04 6y agoIf you're seriously going to downvote me and claim that Russia hasn't been assassinating people then you're either being paid by their government or you're just being a troll. If you want to dispute the list Wikipedia posted, then dispute it. The "But the US kills people too!" is literally completely irrelevant. And if you want to cite a list of US journalists who have been hunted down and assassinated by direction of the President, be my guest - please just hold your breath until your list hits 5 names.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe idea isn't that Russia doesn't assassinate people, it does. The idea is that Russia assassinates everyone that opposes it even when it is against their interest.
- tw04 6y agoSo... we're moving the goal posts? Because OP said he didn't believe that double digit people had been assassinated by Russia, so I provided his proof. I haven't seen anyone claim "Russia assassinates EVERYONE that opposes it" besides you.
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe claim was not that more than 9 people were assassinated by Russia, but that 10% or more of the entire opposition was assassinated. Which is absolutely not supported and would lead to at the very least hundreds of thousands of assassinations.
