Question: Do you think there’s a misconception about Putin being a tyrant—someone whose political opponents often disappear or die? Witkoff: I've never, ever seen a situation where there isn't two sides to a story. It's never black and white and people like to portray. There are grievances on both sides.

There aren’t “two sides” to journalists being poisoned, critics being jailed, or political opponents falling out of windows. That’s not nuance—it’s whitewashing tyranny. When you defend a dictator under the guise of “balance,” you’re not being fair—you’re being complicit. To be clear, a dissenting federal prosecutor was found dead yesterday. What are the chances that he would not take this position?

Great, another Russia sympathizer, what a shock (sarcasm)! Go fuck yourself Witkoff!!!!

It's ALMOST as if he is getting his lines straight from Kremlin

There are always 2 sides to the story when Putin kills people. We usually dont get the other side of the story because they get thrown out of a window.

Witkoff has also stated "Putin is a good guy." A shared view of his boss?

Ah yes, the “both sides” take on a dictator who poisons journalists, jails critics, and invades sovereign nations. If disappearing your opposition isn’t “black and white,” I don’t know what is. MAGA will twist into a pretzel to excuse authoritarianism. I’ll keep saying what they won’t. Follow if you’re into that.

Imagine bending over backward this hard to justify tyranny.

Americans need to understand the way to defeat Putin is to put a stop to Trump...

Kremlin owns The White House

Two sides, but Putin's opposition is unalive, so there's that.

The Berlin Wall fell for a reason. It would be foolish to consider trying to rebuild it - and all it represents - today.
