The Magnitsky act (sanctions on Russia) has been in the news a lot lately.
In case you are wondering about the what and why of that legislation, this is a good primer..

Bill Browder's Testimony to the Senate Judiciary Committee

"I hope that my story will help you understand the methods of Russian operatives in Washington and how they use U.S. enablers to achieve major foreign policy goals without disclosing those interests,"

That's the guy I cited in the book thread (author of Red Notice). Very compelling, short interview with him on CNN last weekend.

Getting the Magnitsky act repealed is one of Putin's top priorities

Natalia Veselnitskaya, who met with Donald Trump Jr. was heading Russian efforts to get sanctions under the Magnitsky Act repealed.

Sir Gay? Must be a Trump butt buddy.

Heard Browder on NPR. I almost couldn't believe what I was hearing. Now I know what was meant about adoptions. Russia stopped them when the act was passed. Thus the meeting about adoptions. Someday this will make a great movie, but for now it's a reality shit show.

Ah, religion, bigotry dressed up as morality.

People really need to read that article and see who we are up against.

So is Putin still the savior of traditional white culture?

Cause he sure looks like a soulless megalomaniac to me.
