And how would you go about remedying that? What sort of restrictions, constrictions, barriers and hobbles would you impose?

Are you confusing too much freedom with too little responsibility?

You are deluded. The police in Russia are thugs as they have been since the days of the Tsars and the Boyars. Russia is a very thuggish place. The Russian gangsters are among the most vicious in the world.

With the current kulakracy in charge of Russia, it's no wonder Russian gangsters continue to be a menace and operate as a shadow government. The only leader in Russian history who was successful at putting an end to the criminal class was Uncle Joe. Time to round them up and slaughter them like sheep. Mussolini used a very similar tactic with the mafia and it WORKED.


Kulakracy? Last time I checked, most the billionaires in Russia have past ties to the communist party elite. Its more of a kleptocracy than anything.

Uncle Joe was a murdering gangster thug who killed on a scale comparable to that of Hitler. Seven million Ukranians deported and who died of starvation or of exposure and overwork in the gulags. Uncle Joe was the cappo de tuti cappo of Russia.
