The Same Putin Poison Squad Hit a Washington Post Columnist Before Navalny

Years before a Russian poison squad nearly killed Alexei Navalny by allegedly planting a Novichok-like nerve agent in his boxer shorts, the same group was honing its skills on other Russian opposition figures, according to a new report by Bellingcat.

The same agents who Bellingcat says stalked, trailed, and spied on Navalny for more than three years, also trailed three other Russian dissidents, including Kremlin critic and journalist Vladimir Kara-Murza, who, like murdered Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi, was a contributor to The Washington Post.

Kara-Murza was poisoned twice, both incidents leaving him in prolonged comas while his vital organs shut down. Like Navalny’s suspected poisoning, Russian authorities refused to investigate the attacks on Kara-Murza despite international outcry.

According to Bellingcat’s report, two Russian hospitals and three independent examinations concluded that Kara-Murza was poisoned by an unidentified substance.

No true manly-man would resort to poisoning his adversaries. Turn in your man-card, pooty-poot.
