Please spare me the outrage over Navalny
American Thinker ^ | February 17, 2024 | By Jim Daws

Posted on 02/17/2024 9:22:05 AM PST by Kazan

There was a time when I could concern myself with the well-being and virtue of other nations. It was in those days, not so very long ago, that ours was a nation of laws, with leaders who had its best interests at heart and who, more or less, abided by our Constitution and at least tried to do right by America.

But that time has passed.

Today we have a political class, legal system and press that prioritizes political power and profit above such mundane matters as fidelity to the Constitution, public safety, and prosperity of their fellow citizens. In the power centers of our nation's capital and major cities, our political class now has a majority coalition of leftist ideologies, cultural Marxists and cynical establishment pols feeding on the carcass of our once-great nation.

Our legal system in the capital and major cities has been hijacked to the service of that political class and notions of equal protection and fidelity to the people’s law be damned.

###

I’m told that Navalny and his political movement are the victims of persecution and oppression by Russia’s president, security services and legal system, while I see our own president, legal system and security services violate our laws to jail and destroy their political opponents, great and small, by the thousands -- all the while encouraging the criminality of their fellow travelers.

So forgive me if I seem insufficiently concerned over the death of Alexei Navalny, may he rest in peace.

No, you're the one that starts crying when a real journalist like Tucker Carlson does his job.

We all know if Tucker were Canadian citizen, he have been censored and not allowed to conduct the Putin interview.

You're country is the one that has banned churches from taking a Biblical view on LGBT issues.

Russia has more religious freedom than Canada.

This site anymore is so heavy with Putin/Russia lovers it’s going to need a new name.

Phhhhhhhffffffttt. This country is so bad, in some ways Putin is preferable to the potato we have currently running the show.

There's a reason the BRICS nations are tossing the United States into the dustbin of history.

A lot of dissenters and dissidents have been killed

That's in Ukraine -- of US citizens like Gonzalo Lira.

And, the Biden regime was fine and dandy with that.

Putin-fever -dream fantasies are your business.

You've got me confused with Marcus Maximus. He's the one with homoerotic fantasies about Putin.

If Russian wanted to kill Navalny, he would have charged with treason and killed a long time ago.

There isn't much doubt at this point that Navalny was working with the CIA on fomenting a color revolution in Russia, similar to the one pulled off in Ukraine.

It's more likely he died because of health problem or that the CIA or some pro-Ukrainian mole found a way to kill him.

The democrats in the US justify Hillary killing her opponents, if not “justify” they certainly look the other way.

OBUNGHOLE-HILLARY-BIDEN

DEMOCRATS—— all together now “I SEE NOTHING,I HEAR NOTHING”.

Thank you Sergeant Shultz.

“ If Ronald Reagan was alive today, he’ll root for Navalny.”

No he would not. If Reagan had 4 more years, the bridge from the West to Russia would have been built with unbreakable Roman concrete.

Yeah this all rings pretty hollow when we have Americans in solitary confinement in DC jails for 3 years for Trespassing.

More than a few have died in custody, and this government’s witch hunt still continues…..

So they rolled out Navalny's wife at the Munich Security Conference to spew OUTRAGE at The Putin and The Russia.

The fingerprints of Western intelligence agencies are ALL OVER this death.

There are no coincidences when it comes to these people.

If the Russians wanted him dead, they could have, justifiably, tried and executed for treason and/or would have done so in another way years ago.

They didn't because they know it would give the West a propaganda win.

So, yes, it's very likely he either died of legitimate medical condition or because of the work of the CIA or MI6 or the equivalent. They probably found a pro-Ukrainian Russian willing to kill him.

The timing is way too convenient with the Senate bill being endangered in the House and with the fall of Avdeevka, which is total disaster for the Ukraine military.

“Another article covering for Putin what a surprise”

You should seek professional help for thinking everything is about Putin. I think you once blamed a rainstorm in the US on Putin.

“fortunately for Ukraine, Putin is incompetent & stupid”

Well, you are not the leader of any country, so I’ll go with Putin outsmarting you any day.

Putin lives rent free in Zeeper heads. They are unable to see how their obsession actually harms their cause more than it helps.

“Because “Free” is offensive to these dictator worshipers.”

How is killing someone trying to overthrow your country a dictator??

From Clandestine on twitter.

“Navalny is a terrorist. He was caught planning a color revolution to overtake Russia with MI6.

He’s not “political opposition”. He’s a foreign intelligence asset. A spy.

Below, you can see Navalny discussing planning “mass protests, civil initiatives, propaganda, establishing contacts with elites” with British MI6 agent, James William Thomas Ford, via the funding from unnamed rich billionaires.

Navalny was the West’s frontman to takeover Russia from within. The same exact playbook they used to take over Ukraine.

Navalny was a Deep State asset, and he was treated as such. As a hostile foreign actor looking to overthrow a sovereign nation, on behalf of the West. Treason and sedition. So spare me with the West’s fake outrage and pearl-clutching, as if Putin is unfairly jailing and murdering political opponents, while the Trump witch hunt is going into its 8th year… and while Julian Assange is still being tortured in prison… “
