Vladimir Putin's government had nothing to say on Thursday about his biggest critic, opposition leader Alexey Navalny, going on hunger strike in prison to protest what he's described as a lack of proper medical care.

Going on a hungerstrike in a totalitarian prison is always a bad idea. They love to feed you nothingburgers and airsandwiches anyway. You’re just playing into their hands. Putin has sleepless nights when a prisoner goes hungry just as Biden really cares if a thousand babies get slaughtered in the womb.
