He is even labelled as neonazi by some. President, not prime minister. My mistake. Though he could run for prime minister like Putin and Erdogan.
The thing is, whole of Europe goes down the drain that even Putin's actions are not a surprise anymore.
Let me guess: Russia Today?
Poroshenko may be many things but he's certainly not a "neonazi" by any stretch of the imagination.

This is impressively nonsensical rubbish.

What the fuck are you talking about? Ukrainian president is the most middle of the road politician you can find. His approval ratings are terrible and he isn't really fighting corruption that hard. He is also mostly Russian speaking (in private) and has business ties with Russia. The only reason why he got elected is because Ukraine was scared of Russia so people weren't ready for drastic changes. He was even Economics minister under previous regime.
People really need to watch out for Russian propaganda, because I've seen a lot of stupid accusations, but this is by far the most insane post I've seen on NeoGaf...
Are you being sarcastic or is there any evidence that this was not murder for hire? I'm genuinely unsure. It looks like Putin's hit job, but typically his hit jobs have a message. This is way too clean in comparison...

Right wings in Europe, even including Western Europe, have been adapting lots of far right policies lately in order to appease their voters and curb the rise of far right. In that sense I guess he is moderate. This is also propaganda but with a better facade.

It's a soviet propaganda term, and is the first hit for a google search. I know people use it a lot but unless someone mentions that it's actually a technique FROM Russian tactics one might not even know.

I have no idea what you are trying to say. This has very little to do with what's going on in other countries... Poroshenko is not a strong or controversial figure in Ukraine even by Ukrainian standards.
Putin doesn't need drones, and he's more accurate.

Killer was probably blackmailed too. This is like Daredevil season one in the real world where super heroes dont exist.

The Ukraine crisis was not strictly a two country affair. It started at a time qhen Europe herself was in a serious crisis, not just financial but also moral. Ukraine was in no situation to dictate their own future. EU expansion to the former Eastern bloc countries instigated discussions if such a venture would be feasible without serious rifts. Ukraine was the breaking point.
Things have gotten worse since then for all sides involved.
We've got killers too, guys.
Cringe alert, argh, too krong

Man didn't some lawyer "apparently toss himself" out of the window in Russia this week? Apparently he was Putin critic.

This still has nothing to do with Poroshenko being neonazi or not. It seems like you are trying to fit some random unrelated narrative in here...

he's stood right in the way of the guy firing his gun. If anything it's his fault.

Deflection or trolls.
He stupidly walked into a gun which made it go off.

It depends if they watch Russian TV. If they do they think that Putin had nothing to do with this and that this guy had it coming anyway "for reasons"

What I don't get is with Putin basically assassinating all the opposition why do the opposition not have hits out on him? Furthermore, why don't other nations that he is threatening?

In Eastern Europe the Right is more hardline in general compared to Western Europe. Eg there were some sanctions to Poland from EU.
Democracy was an unknown word to them for decades.
I liked the time when we had CNN,BBC, ARD, FRANCE1 etc during Yugoslavia, Kosovo and Gulf War.
They were very objective and propaganda free
Assassinating the leader of a country with nuclear weapons is generally something that is A) difficult, and B) complicated.
Never mind the question of whether it would actually help anyone.

Because Putin is the President of Russia and has his own Secret Service and all of Russia's intelligence agencies at his command.
He's pretty much untouchable.

That's probably why Trump is so quick to defend Russia. Dude doesn't wana get clapped by Putin's goons.

The "America has done worse, we're not so innocent" replies are sarcastic references to this: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news...repeats-his-respect-for-killer-vladimir-putin
Are you just copying and pasting random passages of text? Also "moral" crisis?
It's not that he doesn't care. He wants people to know what happens to people that cross him.
