Alexei Navalny’s death in a Russian prison camp elicited widespread condemnation, and Western leaders demanded that Russian President Vladimir Putin be held accountable. A fierce Putin critic, Navalny returned to Russia in January 2021 after recovering from a 2020 attempted assassination by poisoning that was almost certainly ordered by the Kremlin. He was immediately jailed. President Joe Biden said Friday, “Make no mistake: Putin is responsible for Navalny’s death … What has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s brutality.”
Of course, there are always exceptions. In 2020, then-President Donald Trump declined to blame Russia’s government for the unsuccessful poisoning plot, citing insufficient information. Since Navalny’s death, Trump has said nothing.
Unfortunately, Western leaders are often quick to express outrage but not quick to do anything about it. In a 2021 meeting in Geneva, Biden warned Putin that Russia would face “devastating” consequences if Navalny died in prison. Asked Friday what those consequences would be, Biden answered lamely, “That was three years ago. In the meantime, they faced a hell of a lot of consequences. They’ve lost and/or had wounded over 350,000 Russian soldiers. They’ve made it into a position where they’ve been subjected to great sanctions across the board. And we’re contemplating what else could be done.” Obviously, however, the “consequences” Biden mentioned flowed from Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, not Navalny’s treatment or his demise.

When someone from the Biden/obama/clinton camp says “ make no mistake”… it’s disinfo and being imprinted
“War pig is back”
Glad I’m not on his side! (let’s see who is...)
Does all the Trump prosecutions signal Biden’s confidence?
In most descriptions, Navalny is identified as a Russian” activist”. Obama and other leftist types are identified as American “activists”. ‘Nuff said...
I read today that the autopsy identified it as Covid related and that there was a huge blood clot in his heart. He was a big promoter of vaccination and had had four shots. Also heard that he was a big New World Order guy funded by WEF.
Navalny was the darling of DC/CIA/London and academia.
So no friend of mine. Good riddance AFAICS.

Oooohhhh! Bolton is salivating! He’s been hoping for a war. Maybe he’ll get to kill someone’s kids! Wow! YAAAAAAAAAAY! This guy is sick!!!
Carlson reposted the video Friday when he reported Lira’s death at age 55.
“Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture. Several weeks ago we spoke to his father, who predicted his son would be killed,” Carlson wrote.
= = =
So, does Lira’s death demonstrate Biden’s confidence????????
Too bad Navalny couldn't figure that out.
Was Navalny vaxed?
Bolton almost correct better Putin does not fear fjb
I have a few questions as I haven’t been following the details of this story super closely: Did the Russians themselves report that he was murdered? How long had he been back in Russia? Two years? If he was already isolated in a prison, what would be the point of murdering him? And finally, if murdering was their intention all along, why did they wait as long as they did?
Navalny’s death was more message, than murder.

I’m far more concerned with Americans languishing in prison in America’s own political gulag.
