It's why he was joking smiling on Thursday in court.
He knew he was never getting out of prison, due to his complicity in planning a color revolution in Russia.
Winner of the blue ribbon for most creative conspiracy theory of the week!
“My theory is that Navalny agreed to be martyred by Western agents to be used to smear The Putin.”
I think it’s more likely that some of the inmates who supported the Ukraine War got fed up with him - kind of like being an American Japanese leader in jail the day after Pearl Harbor is bombed (not the most popular person in the wing).
But your theory holds water because of several factors:
1) Absolutely PERFECT timing
a) Gets the Neocon disaster of Avdiivka out of the news
b) Happens when everyone is in Munich for the NATO meeting
c) That NATO meeting includes Zelensky and Navalny’s wife.
2) ENTIRE Media immediately blames Putin...as if it were scripted
3) Navalny was a political has-been in Russia, completely discredited by the statements of Western leaders.
4) Navalny was no longer of use to the Neocons, as he wasn’t leaving jail for a long time.
5) No benefit to Putin making a martyr out of him, he was safely locked away
Probably other reasons, but it’s getting late...
Troll more.
