The Saker loves “the Russian democracy” so much that he doesn’t shrink at all from unselfishly issuing many disparaging labels about his host country (US) and its government and leadership, despite the fact that he would never be allowed to write anything of the sort if he lived in Russia. How objective and democratic the Saker is can be seen by everyone who tries to post a politically incorrect comment (meaning critical of Putin and/or Russia) on his website. Example:
Yesterday, after two days already being posted, the: http://thesaker.is/iran-and-the-covid-pandemic/ had no comments. Then I posted the following:

===” There are NO comments here. Why? Knowing how restrictive this site is to all “unwelcome” comments I assume that some “negative” comments were simply not allowed. On the other hand, it is very likely that the people who usually read and comment here are actually disgusted by the Saker being disgusted by the “anti-COVID Crusaders”. Most “anti-COVID Crusaders” do not deny the existence of a health issue, however, they do not accept all unnecessary hype and propaganda by, invariably, all MSM and they do not allow their governments to forcefully vaccinate them as if they are pigs. How is it that 40 to 70 percent of the population in many countries can be designated as “anti-COVID Crusaders”? So, the question is why would the Saker be so much disgusted if not for a very obvious reason: his beloved leader V. Putin seems to have been 100% compliant with all the orders coming from the “rulers of the world” who are still called “the partners”. And that doesn’t look very good on him especially in the light in which hi is usually depicted by the Saker. In other worlds, the issue of COVID-19 has clearly revealed for everyone to see the true nature of the Russian political “elites”.

When I checked shortly thereafter not only that the comment wasn’t there (well, I expected that) but even the comment section with the comment box had magically despaired. So much for the Saker’s analyses, his “democratic” views, representativeness of the comments on his site etc. Yet, he is all in when it comes to criticizing the censorship by the western MSM as if nothing like that exists in Russia, Iran and China, his favorites.
