Russian President Vladimir Putin probably did not directly order the killing of Alexei Navalny at a remote penal colony, U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded. But, sources say, by sending Navalny to the notorious high-security facility in the Arctic Circle, the Kremlin had effectively imposed a death sentence on the opposition leader.

After the House approved the $61 billion Ukraine aid package on Saturday, the hawkish former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, who is the deputy chairman of Russia’s security council, wrote on Telegram: “I cannot with all sincerity not wish the United States to plunge into a new civil war as quickly as possible.”
what would scare #putin and his minions more that the defeat of #russia in #ukraine ?
well, the defeat of putin himself: his death.
maybe that's what the US intelligence told #mikejohnson .
that if there were no military aid for ukraine against russia, ukraine would have gone for putin's life.
in my opinion mike johonson's decision made putin's life at least 6 months longer (unless someone in russia manages to overthrow him before).
@falcennial imo one of the restrictions that the US (and others) put on #Ukraine is that they can't kill #putin .
this is mainly because they fear the reaction of #Xi after watching a sitting head of state killed by a US-assisted country.
on the other hand, no US aid means that russia may win or freeze the conflict in Ukraine.
then putin would immediately try to kill the Ukrainian political and military leadership: which means that they would have all the incentives to kill putin first.
President Vladimir #Putin has placed the Russian subsidiaries of Italian water heating company #Ariston and #Germany appliance maker BSH #Hausgeraete under the temporary management of a #Gazprom entity, according to a decree published on Friday.
JSC Gazprom Household Systems will act as a temporary manager for the two businesses.
anybody shilling for Putinistas like Jill Stein, will be unceremoniously blocked.
am not here to give airspace to any of these fucking every-four-year grifters who raise money for fake campaigns and then do nothing but to live on that money until the next federal election.
where are Jill Stein's local, state and federal candidates? who is she raising money for across red states taken over by fascists?
oh... she doesn't have any slates in any of the 50 states?
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg during today's visit to Berlin:
"Let's be honest, in recent months NATO allies have not provided the support [to Ukraine] that we promised... But it is not too late for Ukraine to win, because even more help is on the way" said Stoltenberg. #AureFreePress#News#press#headline#Ukraine#Russia#Putin#EU#NATO
In May there will be only 6 months until the #2024election for the US President.
If in April aid from the US is not unblocked by #Congress, my opinion is that the leadership of #Ukraine will know that they will be on their own and they will proceed to start an unthinkable plan.
If this is the case, from May on, the days of #putin on this planet will be numbered.
