    he was probably quite happy with knowing his opposition leader and having them controlled that way

    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?

      It could also be some other, lower down Kremlin guy who wanted him dead. Unfortunately this won’t load for me, so I can’t comment too much.

    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.

    who wanted navalny dead then and why?

      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

      Putin wanted him to die a painful slow death in jail. He instead got a painful less slow death in jail.

    It’s surprising that he even survived as long as he did after taking nerve gas.

    Regardless, I sure as hell won’t be complaining about a racist like Navalny dying

    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.

    Putin likely ordered him to be kept in such conditions that he will die because of that.
