Statement by the President on the Murder of Boris Nemtsov

The White House: Has a released a statement by President Obama on the murder of Boris Nemtsov, the statement states the following, " The United States condemns the brutal murder of Boris Nemtsov, and we call upon the Russian government to conduct a prompt, impartial, and transparent investigation into the circumstances of his murder and ensure that those responsible for this vicious killing are brought to justice.  Nemtsov was a tireless advocate for his country, seeking for his fellow Russian citizens the rights to which all people are entitled.  I admired Nemtsov’s courageous dedication to the struggle against corruption in Russia and appreciated his willingness to share his candid views with me when we met in Moscow in 2009.  We offer our sincere condolences to Boris Efimovich’s family, and to the Russian people, who have lost one of the most dedicated and eloquent defenders of their rights. "

Lets Get Real:

One does not have to be Mr Holmes to see who the White House think is behind the murder, the question is HOW will the the Kremlin react, will it find a puppet to throw to the wolves or will the murder become another Cold Case in Putin's Russia.   If this wa a move by the Kremlin it was a bad strategic move, it just recalls the fact that Russia has become seen as a BAD ACTOR on the World Stage.   When it comes to Putin's Russia there is no giving them the benefit of the doubt, never trust a former KGB Officer who thinks the end of the USSR was a tragic event in Russian history.
