Haha.
What a shocking development…!
Western leaders have held Vladimir Putin directly responsible for the death of the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, as the US president, Joe Biden, called it “yet more proof of Putin’s brutality”.
I thought “brutality” was too harsh – but then I saw this photo of how he died:
We have to say it, folks: brutal.
Navalny, 47, died while being held in a jail about 40 miles north of the Arctic Circle, where he had been sentenced to 19 years under a “special regime”.
“Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death,” Biden said in remarks from the White House on Friday.
The death of Navalny, once Putin’s most significant political challenger, is a watershed moment for Russia’s shattered pro-democracy movement, which has largely been jailed or driven into exile since the Ukraine invasion of 2022.
What happened to Andrew Anglin and weev?
Where is Julian Assange?
Where is Coach Red Pill?
Where is Ricky Vaughn?
How many felonies is Donald Trump charged with?
This shit about how Russia suppresses democracy is absolutely pointless nonsense. No government allows people to agitate against it, the US simply claims it does while very obviously killing, imprisoning, exiling, or otherwise destroying anyone who agitates against them.
Though Navalny and his many supporters expected he could die behind bars, few thought it would be so soon. Reports of his death sent a shockwave of anger and disbelief through the ranks of his supporters, including his family.
Navalny’s death raises questions about what tools the west still has to constrain or punish Putin, who has faced sanctions since 2022 and has been indicted by the international criminal court for the abduction of Ukrainian children.
Biden in 2021 promised “devastating” consequences for Russia if Navalny were to die behind bars. However, it is not clear what could restrain Putin from a further crackdown on Navalny’s supporters in Russia and abroad.
Maybe they should just go ahead and open the box?
It’s a tool, right? I mean, if it’s the only way to save democracy, they might as well open the box.
Right?
Russia has claimed Navalny died of natural causes. In a statement, the federal penitentiary service for the region where Navalny was incarcerated said he “felt unwell after a walk and almost immediately lost consciousness”.
“All necessary resuscitation measures were carried out but did not yield positive results,” the statement said. “The paramedics confirmed the death of the convict.” The Kremlin said Putin had been informed but had no further information.
After a walk, huh?
Physical exercise?
Then he experienced a blood clot?
Interesting.
Western reaction was swift, as top officials from the US and Europe accused the Kremlin of causing Navalny’s death. The Foreign Office summoned the Russian embassy in London, adding “we hold the Russian authorities fully responsible.”
The US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, said: “His death in a Russian prison and the fixation and fear of one man only underscores the weakness and rot at the heart of the system that Putin has built. Russia is responsible for this.”
Who’s responsible for Coach Red Pill?
Who’s responsible for Assange?
This is all just so fucking gay. Even if Putin personally performed a Mortal Kombat fatality on Navalny out of sheer malice, that does not confirm American moral superiority.
Putin’s press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, responded angrily, calling western leaders’ remarks “absolutely outrageous and absolutely unacceptable”.
In Moscow, St Petersburg and other cities across Russia, small groups of Russians braved strict anti-protest laws and laid flowers at makeshift memorials to Navalny. More than 100 people were arrested, according to OVD-Info, a Russian rights group that tracks political arrests and offers legal aid.
Oh, jeez.
Just fucking shoot these people.
They are gays, they’re neo-Nazis, they’re foreign agents, they are attempting to subvert the nation and sabotage the war effort.
Bang bang, ha?
Navalny was alive two days ago, whining about how he didn’t have money for the commissary.
So, what happened?
What is the theory that the West is even promoting?
It’s not worth even considering the thinking, as there is no thinking, it is all just “Russia is evil” nonsense.
Well.
No Russian ever called me “goy.”
