If youre a Russian billionaire you got a big, fat target on your back ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson

“If you’re a Russian billionaire you got a big, fat target on your back” – ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson Even though Telegram founder Pavel Durov has been living outside of Russia for 10 years, the West still considers him a target for repression. “I think the Westerners, the French in particular, have made a mistake in grabbing him because they think that this is going to somehow create leverage or create an issue with Russia,“ Johnson said. Meanwhile, diplomats at the Russian embassy in France have begun working on Pavel Durov’s case, Russia’s Foreign Ministry told Sputnik. “I think the major issue with respect to the West is, one: the coverage that he provides about what’s going on in Ukraine and the coverage he allows with respect to the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in the Middle East and in Gaza and the West Bank,“ said Johnson. “I think particularly the last issue has rankled the Israelis quite a bit. And they’ve been looking to shut him down.“ Subscribe to [club41065961|@SputnikI]... Source: Sputnik International
