1. They couldn't kill him with poison, so maybe lack of care will get the job done.

I didn't expect him to survive his return to Russia. It looks like I was right.

As a part of his care. Putin should be shunned by the rest of the world. Add a few others to that list. I hope the U.S. doesn't engage in this type of thing. Maybe I should just shut up.

4. Navalny's founndation (FBK), urged Pres Biden on sanctions
Tue Apr 6, 2021, 08:09 PM
Apr 2021
The foundation set up by Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has called on US President Joe Biden to impose sanctions on several high profile Russian figures it says is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In a letter addressed to Biden, Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) had mentioned 35 names, with eight out of them on 'priority shortlist'.
All the listed people are classified into three groups - the oligarchs, human right abusers and individuals involved in the persecution of Navalny and his organisation.

..President Joe Biden's history with Vladimer Putin will not go unfinished, & he'll do so in Alex Navalny's name.

There are heros & then their are true freedom fighters. It's really unfortunate that Russia never had a President Navalny

He will never be forgotten. The history books of the world will forever tell his story

Just as the last paragraph in the OP says, he is getting special treatment already and it is very negative. I’m worried about him. I don’t know how to help him.

9. I can't believe he returned to that country.

I know he needs to make his point but you don't need to die a martyr.

Putin is moving military around the world and he is planning on playing hardball with anyone trying to reign him in. Biden told him he is the same person who got to know Putin years ago (like when he told Putin that he has no soul). Biden knows who his enemy is and will not play games like the former guy.

and it shouldn't be tolerated by this country or any country. I don't know how many more sanctions we can put on Russia, but we should go as far as we can.

11. Maria Butina says he is in a better place than a Siberian hotel...

... so I guess he should consider himself lucky, huh?

I seen her mentioned on one of the MSM channels yesterday; I found this article:



"Last week, however, prison officials allowed Maria Butina, a correspondent for state media network RT who previously served time in the US for being a clandestine foreign agent, to visit Navalny. When he told her the prison was notorious for “torture”, she replied that it was better than hotels in the Siberian village where she grew up."
