Putin and his oligarchs are a de facto dictatorship.
Navalny sought a true democracy for Russia.
Why should American’s think it so “unAmerican” that Navalny had some foreign support.
Our founders took whatever foreign support they could get against the British overlords, particularly from France.
I think THEY would see foreign aid to Navalny with a different view than those Americans who think it was “wrong”.
Hows that cool-aid?
And then our founders went to great lengths to stay out of the dispute between England and France at the end of the 18th century — for good reason.
“Navalny sought a true democracy for Russia.”
Democracies are not created by working with foreign countries to create a coup.
Navalny needed to die for his crimes against democracy and Russia.
Is that you Zelensky??
Navalny’s type democracy is the same one Joe Biden crows about here in the US.
Geesh, you Zeeps are total leftist believers.
I don't want to be cruel - but its an asinine comment.
Yes, we are happy "pro USA" people are trying to lead other countries. They may even be our spies, which is even better
BUT - what should Russians feel about a leader with a foreign passport? What do you think their reaction will be?
If you can't figure that out, just consider, what would you say if an American Presidential candidate had a Chinese passport? How popular would such a candidate be?
Sadly, this is how neocons make arguments.
