Navalny Still in Coma, Poisoning Symptoms Receding – Spokeswoman



That Mr. Navalny is on the mend is great news. We must hope that there is no permanent neurological damage.

Judging by how many oppositionists were poisoned and in the end all remained alive, I make a simple, but logical conclusion - they are being poisoned by their own people. It's just that they don't know enough chemistry to finish the job.
In general, it is convenient to be an oppositionist. You drank too much vodka somewhere, but in the morning you are poisoned by Putin and you are flying to Germany for treatment on a private plane, and your treatment is paid for by a german foundation.
 
I wish Navalny a speedy recovery and return to Russia.

But look - this whole thing stinks. He's conveniently photographed at the airport with a cup. He's loudly groaning in pain on the aircraft. He's been subject to alleged attempts on his life before. And his many fans in Western capitals immediately concluded, with no evidence, that he'd been poisoned.


Personally my advice would be to stay in the West. He's far more popular, and safer, there than in Russia.
 
Head of the Munich security conference Ischinger - about the poisoning of Navalny:

"This, unfortunately, is the end, including for the idea of a strategic partnership (between Russia and Germany)."

What a frank answer to the question: "Who benefits from this?"
 

Don't worry. Merkel [stupidly] keeps Russian terrorism separate from business. This won't affect Nordstream-2.
