Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died in prison, the country's state media reported Friday, ending a yearslong fight against corruption and the Kremlin that saw him survive several poisoning attempts.

He was 48.

This is exactly what they want to happen to Trump.

[Obadiah]

I read this as torture and ultimately murder.

Well, if you want a clean subway, ya got to break a few eggs!

As expected. Why would anyone think he wouldn’t be killed?

[GrumpyOldGuy]

On a similar note, people with severe medical issues have been rotting away since Jan 6th 2020.

[Sirius Lee]

What dirt did he have on the Clintons?

And some crazy FReepers are still going to say we should be allies with Putin.

I think most people just look at China vs Russia and wonder why the disparate treatment.

I think most people just look at China vs Russia and wonder why the disparate treatment.

Maybe, just maybe, because Russia has gone rogue right now by invading and trying to annex a neighboring independent countries territory in Europe, which breaks numerous international treaties Russia has signed.

Navalny was serving a combined 30 ½-year jail sentence when he died. He went missing in Russia's penal system in December, eventually turning up at a high-security penal colony in a remote town above the Arctic Circle.

We all hope that happens to Putin very soon

[JonPreston]

who exactly is Navalny?

[dforest]

The Ukes put them on a list and if they can, kill them before prison ever happens.

It must be the Russian in them.

Navalny wasn’t the saint Zeepers want to make him out to be either.

[JonPreston]

The Zeepers are upset this morning. It’s too bad America’s problems don’t bother them as much as this nonsense.

[dforest]

I saw the Russian flag was flying over Avdiivka. It gets them in a frenzy and they take it out on nice Americans.

I guess for the Russians it is onward to Odessa, although I heard their “crack soldiers”(Hunter is not squad leader) are trying to open another front to keep the Russians from heading on to Odessa.

[Apparatchik]

Prime example of a Putlerist feigning ignorance about Russia, despite all his posts pontificating on how great Russia is. And then only hurling personal attacks on those who call him out on it. Watch.

Pa-the-tic.

And mildly suspicious…

[JonPreston]

beat it colonel. no one believes your nonsense.
