Russia's 'Arab Spring'? Clashes Break Out In 2 Cities

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Police and protesters clashed Tuesday on a central Moscow square as people tried to hold a second day of demonstrations against alleged vote fraud in Russia’s parliamentary elections. Protesters in the city of St. Petersburg also broke through police lines.

So far, a total of about 310 people have been arrested in the two cities.

Prime Minister Vladimir Putin’s United Russia party saw a significant drop in support in Sunday’s election, but it will still have a majority in parliament. Opponents say even that watered-down victory was due to massive vote fraud.

Russia’s beleaguered opposition has been energized by the vote, staging its biggest protests in Moscow for years.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reiterated U.S. suggestions that Sunday’s election was neither free nor fair. Russia’s Foreign Ministry later branded U.S. criticism “unacceptable.” Meanwhile, Republican Senator John McCain offered Putin a warning on Twitter: “Dear Vlad, The Arab Spring is coming to a neighborhood near you.”

      The writer will better serve his/her readers by omitting quotes that would slant any opinion for or against the subject, which is a “Russian Spring”.

      I would like to know if there is a growing movement in Russia, but the information presented is inconclusive. Is this some propaganda?

      American politician Hilary clinton, and John McCain are fools. This John McCain is a war monger, and hypocrite. He talks about Russia having voter fraud, what about the voter fraud going on in America with this Obama clown in the whitehouse. Do not screw with Russia, because Russia will not be an easy take, and will mean the end of America’s war mongering gigs the jews keep going. There is no Arab Russian spring going on in Russia, and there will be none.

      Anon 7 10:31,
      I hate to burst your bubble, but there’s an “Arab spring” going on pretty much everywhere. Even the US has a closet muslim president. But that’s allowed by Islam. It’s ok to deceive your enemy like Obama is deceiving the American public.

      And once his agenda is complete, we’ll end up as a stain on a tank track somewhere like any useful idiot who’s outlived his usefulness. Or as captain Hook expressed it; “cast aside like an old glove.”

      You are right about a few things, Russia will not be easy to take down. Hitler found that out. Our best bet is to elect Ron Paul while we have the chance, and let sanity return to D.C.
