Vladimir Putin rival and Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny dies in prison
The Mirror ^ | February 16, 2024 | Liam Buckler

Vladimir Putin's fierce rival and critic Alexei Navalny has died, according to the prison service.

The Russian opposition leader, who was the most prominent and persistent domestic foe of President Vladimir Putin, had been serving a 19-year sentence on an extremism conviction. He had been incarcerated in central Russia’s Vladimir region, 140 miles east of Moscow.

Navalny has been behind bars in Russia since January 2021, when he returned to Moscow after recuperating in Germany from nerve agent poisoning that he blamed on the Kremlin. Before his arrest, he campaigned against official corruption and organized major anti-Kremlin protests.

It appears while Biden is too clueless the people around him are to getting paranoid. None of the enemies they wanted to play with are responding like they thought.

“wow you’re shocked that Russia doesn’t run like the USA or France. Maybe you should to your look at your own faults first before you go looking at other countries faults.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Let me remind you that we are living in post WWII era. No civilized nations are invading and annexing other sovereign nations anymore. Well... Russia still does apparently!
Russia has remained an imperialist colonial entity. It’s become the Neo Soviet Union run by deep-state KGB/FSB fanatics.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What are you talking about?
Do I have to remind you that Russia has blatantly invaded Ukraine?
THAT is the SOLE and unique problem my FRiend.

I want nation to respect BORDERS.
Philosophically speaking if you want Ukraine’s border violated by Russia, you also want our southern border violated by illegal aliens.

The pro-Putin delegation on Free Republic will be pleased to hear this.

They may even get a Chris Matthews-like thrill up their leg.

“this is why they are angry”

True, the Gay Flag supported by Navalny was a HUGE FACTOR for the Neocons. But what’s funny is that Navalny was TOTALLY DISCREDITED by the Russian public, once they figured out that the West was really at war against Russia, by seeing what they did in Ukraine.

It’s not so simple as I’m sure you’re well aware. If anything Putin held back from invading for quite few years but NATO, and their false promises of membership and defeating Russia are entirely the reason for the invasion. Sorry not buying the propaganda you are selling.

While we are on the subject lets talk interfering to get a candidate elected that an outside country likes. That’s the western form of annexation and invading to protect businesses while draining that countries natural resources is the form of western invasions, after getting their guy elected they get “permission” to be there.

no one knows who this person is. why are you so upset?

You can't be serious. Navalny is known worldwide, especially by people who are squarely anti-former-KGB/murderous dictator.

Nice try, "comrade."

He was really well known around Ukranian Nazis & the CIA

Nice try, Banderite

The complete hypocrisy of the west over the death of Alexei Navalny on full display here.

First Navalny is painted for years by the west as the becon of democracy in Russia, the only chance Russia has to break away from the evil, dictator and monster Putin and that alone is why… pic.twitter.com/0qdSj9GHAY— Noctis Draven (@DravenNoctis) February 16, 2024

I can't speak for USA-FRANCE, but my hatred of Putin started when he colluded with Hillary over the 2016 election, backed BLM, and supported Hamas. All of which happened long after the Cold War.

So you have hearsay from someone else and I have evidence, but I’m the one who needs to reevaluate? Interesting logic there.
