I never thought he specifically ordered the killing blow but given that he did order him jailed in cruel conditions under a ton of bogus charges Navalny’s death is on his head either way.
alright that was an unexpected turn of events. would the US even have reason to lie about this? i take its better for them if they can have more reason to paint putin in a negative light.
Gotta gather support for funding and hate for Russia somehow. As far as why or how he ended up dead who knows. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was a false flag
To be clear, Putin never ordered the death of anyone. Some Russians just have shitty windows and are extra susceptible to the effects of gravity. They didn’t choose to be pre-disposed to falling to their deaths. They were just born that way. What are you gonna do?
I swear all you .ml tankies are so quick to jerk off over the slightest thing not bad about russia then rush to rub it in everyone's faces while tripping over all the atrocities commited on the way.
Just admit you love a dictator and hate america. Save us the time.
Honest question from a non-communist, based on your reply here. Does one need to support Putin to be a Marxist?
In a word, no. In a few more words, support for Russia (not Putin, as historical materialists don’t subscribe to great man theory) is only a partial, temporary, tactical one, in the context of imperialist liberation. Russia is still a capitalist state, though, so it’s a two stage strategy: first liberate colonized bourgeois states from colonizer states, and second revolution within those liberated bourgeois states.
Russia is an interesting case: it has already liberated itself from the post-Soviet “shock therapy” neocolonizers. This occurred during Putin’s administration, which is why he is especially hated by the US. So now the support for Russia is in the context of keeping the colonizers from recolonizing it, and supporting Russia to the extent that it helps other states liberate themselves. But Russia isn’t trying to “liberate” Ukraine, at least not all of Ukraine. It’s trying to resolve the genocidal attacks on the people of the Donbas, and it’s trying to resolve the imperialist military expansion at its border.
Putin is every bit as bad as claimed. If you don't see that, you're fucking blind. Navalny was only in prison to begin with because Putin is a thin-skinned shitheel that can't handle even a modicum of criticism.
The Kremlin has denied any state involvement. Last month, Putin called Navalny’s demise “sad” and said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny’s allies said such talks had been under way.
Children being taken from their families and trafficked to Russia is also sad(and a war crime), and yet Putin does nothing about that. Somehow I don’t think he’s actually all that sad about Navalny.
said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny’s allies said such talks had been under way.
It’s an awful coincidence that the moment they decide to start considering releasing him, that he dies, isn’t it? Nevermind the fact that he’d at this point been sentenced to over 20 years in Russian prison and a mere 2 months prior to his death was secretly sent to an arctic circle prison that is essentially a death camp, with none of his team knowing where he was for weeks. No no, forget ALL of those facts and trust Daddy Putin at his word that they were totally going to release him if he hadn’t died when he did.
What a load of bullshit. At best, they knew Navalny wasn’t doing good and were hoping to release him before he died so they could wipe their hands clean of it. Realistically though, what happened was always the plan.
Over six thousand prisoners died behind bars in America during 2020. It turns out that prisons are awful places with awful conditions that lead to people’s death.
"Hurr durr 2000 american prisoners die, but ONE political prisoner charged with simply opposing a dictator and making him inelligible to challenge said dictator in an election and you Americans are so quick to point fingers"
You can't be this obtuse. You have to be willfully ignorant of this, otherwise someone would have revoked your access to the internet without a caretaker because of mental disability.
It's actually preferable for Putin for a few different reasons if it's simply a slow death because of unlivable conditions, than to have someone take him out back and shoot him quickly or something like that.
But yes, the system is working 100% as intended; this is a feature.
