Libs will be more worked up about this than the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza plus the injuries, suffering, and death in the West Bank.
Libs were always weird about this guy and sincerely believed he was a bigger deal than he was. Polls showed him trailing behind the Communist Party candidate and the financial minister
West in the true spirit of NATO as usual going for open fascists and racist to promote.
I'm curious why anyone really gives a shit about this, the likelihood this guy was ever gonna me a challenger to Putin at this point is, what? .000000000001%, if that. Surprised I'm seeing as many posts about this as I am.
Western liberals believed that Navalny was the opposition leader to Putin. He was always talked about in media as "the opposition leader". Not "a opposition leader" but specifically "the".
This is important because it frames in people's minds that he was the main opposition. It makes people think of it in a Republican vs Dems way.
This framing is helped by the fact that the communist party is literally NEVER talked about in western media. They don't exist as far as liberals know.
We have to hear about this guy solely because the US State Dept wanted him to be the of Russia. Well, I guess he was, in that he failed utterly.
imagine this being your life: sitting in prisons waiting for the CIA to help install you as the president. then you just die. lmao couldn't be me. what a dumbass.
surprised it took them this long
Libs gave an Oscar to a movie about a guy who said he’d have no problem working with fascists if it made sure his goals are met. Good riddance.
I wonder how the libs, who love this guy, will react to this.
By ignoring the times he called muslims cockroaches and called for immigrants to be shot even harder
Wake up Babe, new bozo just RIP'd
A fascist died? oh well
Update: Yuliya Navalnaya made a surprise appearance at the Munich Security Conference to appeal to everyone to punish the Russian regime. (NY Times)
Just hours after her husband was reported dead, Yulia Navalnaya made a dramatic, surprise appearance at a gathering of world leaders in Munich on Friday. Taking the stage, she denounced President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and vowed that he and his circle “will be brought to justice.”
The diplomats and political leaders at the Munich Security Conference were already reeling from reports that her husband, Aleksei A. Navalny, the Russian dissident, had died in prison under suspicious circumstances when Ms. Navalny stunned the hall by striding in. Conference organizers quickly wrapped up a session with Vice President Kamala Harris and turned the microphone over to Ms. Navalnaya.
“We cannot believe Putin and his government,” Ms. Navalnaya told the audience. “They are lying constantly. But if it’s true, I would like Putin and all his staff, everybody around him, his government, his friends, I want them to know that they will be punished for what they have done with our country, with my family and with my husband. They will be brought to justice, and this day will come soon.”

What are they gonna do, double sanction Russia so that they have to pas their gas through two middlemen and ultimately eat the double markup themselves?
More funding for Ukraine. Some people are getting very rich off this, and clearly think the money well in Ukraine hasn’t dried up yet.

My man went from Blogger to Future President of Russia to Guy With Polonium Poisoning In A Serbian Prison and there's a part of me that's genuinely a bit jealous, because I'm still stuck at Blogger.
Looking forward to the Radio War Nerd episode about it that's probably coming out in let's see... twenty seconds or so
Love seeing a fascist die
Do you think it was the polonium-flavored tea that did it, as our liberal visitor from another thread would suggest?
