    Ah yes, being a piece of shit is a crime worthy of being tortured and murdered by literal nazis. Liberal values on display as usual. 🤡

      Well that’s certainly not what the Wikipedia article I linked says. He died of pneumonia. Do you have a differing source?

          Article doesn’t even mention his death lol. Yea, he was a prisoner, for committing a crime. Seems like a case of FAFO to me. And certainly no big loss.

              I’m not up on Ukrainian law, and really, really don’t care about this dude. Any point you have is wasted on me.

                It’s interesting that you apparently support the Ukrainian censorship of freedom of expression applied to US citizens. Very revealing.

                    Nice straw man you got there. Nowhere did I say that American law applies to foreign countries. What was actually said that the law he broke in Ukraine was one restricting freedom of expression. A supposed value that US is helping Ukraine defend. Not only that, but apparently US regime didn’t really care about the fact that their puppet regime in Ukraine arrested and tortured a US citizen for exercising his speech, the core value that US regime purports to be fighting for. Quite telling that you’re aggressively working not to understand what’s happening here.

              On May 1, 2023, Lira was arrested for violating Article 436-2 of Ukraine’s criminal code, which prohibits justification of Russia’s ongoing invasion of the country.[8][38]

              Also it’s on the wiki

                To sum up, a US citizen was arrested for exercising his free speech, then thrown into prison where he was tortured and denied medical care, dying as a result. If that happened in Russia you’d be screeching about fascism right now, but since it happened to somebody you dislike, and was done by the fascists you support, you see no problem.
