Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under “neoliberal ideals” in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed “traditional values reign supreme,” and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.

The Russian president signed a decree offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation’s government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

    My bet is that more likely some of them will suddenly be caught with drugs, accused of spying and other made up crimes and sentences to 15 years in prison.

    Then they will get exchanged with the US for war criminals.

      Anyone who moves there for “sanctuary” should automatically be left out of prisoner exchanges. Though I suspect they’re more useful as propaganda tools to talk about how much better Russia is than the US.
