Is anyone who run in farther left circles seeing or hearing "What's happening in Chechnya is not real, it's just an excuse to drum up support for war with Russia and propagate Russiaphobia?"

Thankfully no because I'd probably have already been charged with assault over it.

And seriously jesus christ that facebook post, "Ahuhur america 1st" through another lens.

SO, HOW ABOUT THAT CHECHNYA SITUATION NOT BEING REAL.

http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/04/21/chechnyas-president-i-will-eliminate-the-gay-community-by-the-start-of-ramadan/

"The president of Chechnya has issued a chilling warning to gay men in the region. Sources have said that he wants the [LGBT] community eliminated by the start of Ramadan."

"Mr Duncan revealed that he spoke directly to his counterpart, Russia’s deputy foreign secretary Vladimir Titov, to challenge the Russian Federation on human rights abuses against LGBT people.
British Embassy representatives have also spoken directly to the Russian government to raise the issue. However a spokesperson for Vladimir Putin has said the Russian president has no reason to believe the attacks are genuine.
Dmitry Peskov, Putin’s Press Secretary, claimed that investigators have found no evidence to support reports of the purge, which originated in respected newspaper Novaya Gazeta, according to Associated Press."

"This week, Putin had a meeting with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who told the Russian president not to believe the “provocative” articles. He also accused international organisations of conducting a “massive information attack using the most unworthy methods, reality is distorted, attempts are being made to blacken our society, lifestyle, traditions and customs.” A spokesperson for Chechnya’s leader Ramzan Kadyrov has previously denied there are any gay people to purge, insisting that “you can’t detain and harass someone who doesn’t exist in the republic”."

But you know, false flag, russophobia, whatever other bullshit.
