You'd be surprised how many educated Europeans don't qualify themselves as "Europeans" ;)

There's a big difference between countries in Europe and their views on the world. I'm pretty convinced countries more envelopped in realpolitik will have people less convinced of your equivalence.

Those must be Europeans from countries that were not occupied by the Soviets.

Journalist Michael Hastings dead after telling his friends that he has a big story on CIA director and he needs to lay low for a while as FBI is "onto him".

How about that western word?

None of those "putin journo killings" has never been proven to have any links to Putin. All these anti-Russian accusations are moral equivalents of people claiming that US government killed Michael Hastings.

So please - STFU.

Thankfully, the notion that Hastings was somehow killed by having his car remote-controlled by the CIA has largely become the province of Infowars.com.

When the Russian government has someone killed, they don't die in a mysterious accident. They're gunned down, when they're lucky. When they're not, they die an agonizing death after being subtly and fatally poisoned by radioactive isotopes.
