Jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has died, Russian media report, citing the prison service.

Some sources suggest he was taking a walk and suddenly fell to the ground. Very mysterious. Guess they ran out of windows.

            I would like a choice tbh. You think the alternative is not a racist bigot either? It would be nice if putins political adversaries didn’t die in an arctic prison for what I recall when he was recalled to Russia was some fraud with is company or whatever. And they had to threaten him with his wife to get him back. The moment he stepped how foot on Russia, prison and torture. And now he dies, for what was announced as fraud. Yeah right.

              Russia is a broken nation where ruthlessness is required to survive, to the point where someone who literally worked with the US to end communism is the country’s biggest and only chance of getting it back. If you watched the Putin interview yes he was willing to chum it up with Cucker Tarlson, but he also talked fondly of killing nazis, a point that really got under the white nationalist’s skin.

              My point is, regardless of the situation you shouldn’t be siding with nazis.
