My point is that Navalny is dead and NOW this video surfaces to discredit him? Where was it before? Why wasn’t it made public before this?
I would submit that that dreadful murderous autocrat Putin did it so that the headline-his death was created - drawing attention to the issue, and then when everyone is paying attention so it can’t be buried you release the video showing that there really was a Five-eyes plot to overthrow Putin.
People say the vid is not of him.
The US Govt and the media didn’t want you to know the truth. 🙄
“But it’s also never good to be caught on camera attempting a coup”
In terms of history and process it is an error to call a “colour revolution” a “coup”.
What was dangerous for Navalny was the existing government he was against was and is a dictatorship. I don’t know when it has ever been morally wrong to seek foreign assistance against a dictator. Yes, even dictators get to call their government the “legitimate” government of their country and in some legal sense that is true, and in a strict legal sense even plotting against a dictator is “treason”.
Our nations founders plotted against their British government and sought the assistance of foreign nations (France) to overthrow that government. Our founders had legitimate gripes against the British and no doubt Navalny’s gripes against the Putin cabal were equally valid.
Who knows, in the long run of Russian history Navalny may later be considered a hero.
