Russian Opposition Leader Alexei Navalny Poisoned

[Doctor Amadeus]

You do not have to. The protests were not really about Navalny, but about the people in power using Russia as a personal wallet.
Of course, that does not mean we should not judge a farcical court process anyway, even if the person in question is... well... questionable.

Yeah that makes sense, As I said I am no fan of Putin but if the 2000s has taught anything is that there are worse devils than the one we know.

Nonsense, these are reliable sources, not the nonsense u guys peddle.

I mean if we are going to cite Bellingcat, why not RT?

here's your chance to condemn the incarceration of political opponents.

I'll give you 24 hours.

If you fail to do so, I'll take that as an admission that you support violent authoritarians.

Sounds like a good opportunity for the western media to focus on anti-putin activists that are not far right nutjobs.

[postman1782]

RT, a reliable source ? You lost what was left of your credibility right there.

RT says what the Kremlin wants it to say, and is financed by the Kremlin.

Well, I believe he is Russian. Just like Shalcker.

Why do you support murderous tyrants like Putin?

Think he is Russian, so I think he has to. Basically.

Yeah, people forget that Bush was handed a report on the threat of Bin Laden by Clinton administration, in part because a car bomb already went off in the World Trade Center.

Edit: It’s why I heart pop culture... try doctoring the history, that fucking Seth McFarland had the foresight to realize Bin Laden could sneak weapons on to air planes... a year and a half before 9/11. Which I guess with how covid played out, it’s an understandable reaction from a conservative, to a major crisis. Pretend you had no prior warning of it’s possibility, then use it as an excuse to attack another country. Hey... at least Trump only attacked China verbally...

Yeah honestly the policy of giving lunatics matches because they seem like they will only use them for the right reason despite evidence to the contrary is really something that’s bitten us in the ass more than once.

Only 2.5 years in jail for that traitor, what a scandal.

To be fair then sentance was death but was dropped to 30 months on account of living.

He's a traitor only morally but not legally, i guess, so they had to prosecute him for petty crimes instead (if you can call a fraud that is worth millions a petty crime)

You guys should try to have him murdered again, to show how great Putin is. /s

Oh wait, I'm sure that's what you actually want.

Being traitor morally...? What does that even mean?

[jonnysensible]

disloyalty to the party comrade

Seeking foreign power's military intelligence's help in inciting a riot and orchestrating a coup, maybe?

[Machismo]

Seeking foreign power's military intelligence's help in inciting a riot and orchestrating a coup, maybe?

You mean from the same government that tried to murder him?

Ah yes, the Western Spy. Brah... It has been 30 years since USSR stopped existing. Generations have changed. Yet you still keep seeing Western agents in everyone critical of the way Russia is governed.
Maybe, just maybe it is time to finally grow up and take a look in the mirror?

[Yadryonych]

Ah yes, the Western Spy. Brah... It has been 30 years since USSR stopped existing.

Good thing the guy isn't prosecuted for being a western spy, but for stealing money from a private company. Whew, do we LOVE capitalism now!

You just talked about him inciting riot and coup, not stealing. Those are very different and way more serious things, so which is it? Do not tell me that the almighty FSB cannot prove that he is an foreign agent so they had to stick this silly charge on it.
