Navalny Will Survive Suspected Poisoning, But Be ‘Politically Incapacitated’ for Months — Evacuation Organizer

German police beef up security for Alexei Navalny at Berlin hospital.

8/24/20
Leading Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny will survive his apparent poisoning but won't return to politics for several months, the organizer of his medical evacuation to Germany told the German tabloid Bild. Jaka Bizilj’s comments came as Navalny’s spokeswoman Kira Yarmysh said the opposition figure’s family has not authorized anyone other than his doctors or herself to make announcements regarding his health. Navalny was hospitalized in a coma in the Siberian city of Omsk on Thursday after falling ill on his flight to Moscow, with aides saying they believe he was poisoned via a cup of tea. The 44-year-old was flown to Berlin early Saturday following a standoff over his evacuation from Russia for emergency medical treatment. “Navalny will survive poison attack, but be incapacitated for months as a politician,” Bizilj, the head of the Cinema for Peace foundation that brought Navalny to Berlin’s Charité hospital in a chartered air ambulance, said Sunday, according to Reuters.

A Charité hospital spokeswoman told the Russian state-run RIA Novosti news agency that Navalny’s treating doctors could provide an update on his condition Monday. The doctors who treated him in Omsk said Monday “there can be no doubt” that they had saved Navalny’s life. They have previously said tests showed no trace of any poison. Omsk doctors had initially refused to let Navalny leave when the German air ambulance arrived, but reversed course after his family and staff demanded he be allowed to travel to Germany. Cinema for Peace said it financed his medical transport with private money. A top Navalny aide said Saturday that businessman and philanthropist Boris Zimin and his family’s fund paid for the flight. Navalny is the latest in a long line of Kremlin critics who have fallen seriously ill or died in apparent poisonings.

Great news. I hope there are no debilitating long-term effects from this Putin assassination attempt.

Clinical findings indicate poisoning with a substance from the group of cholinesterase inhibitors. The specific substance involved remains unknown, and a further series of comprehensive testing has been initiated. The effect of the poison – namely, the inhibition of cholinesterase in the body – was confirmed by multiple tests in independent laboratories.

What kind of journalism has a line like this?

"It is certainly not impossible that the Kremlin was to blame"

Try again. This time with better syntax.

At this point, prior experience makes Russia the most likely to pull such a stunt.

You'd think with all that practice they would not fail.

You can put " not impossible " in front of any speculation.

Who benefits from a failed attemt? Certainly not Putin.

Aren't all conspiracy theories all started by " not impossible ".

How about this one? It is not impossible that deep state operatives from the US intelligence community loyal to Biden sickened Putin's opposition so as to give Joe the opportunity to rattle his saber from his basement during the DNC convention aftetmath.

A keyboard hacker on a Potlicker board can write something like this but "journalist " ?

"Not impossible", SERIOUSLY?

Success is dependent on many things, such as how much of the poisoned tea Navalny drinks.

All of it, or a swallow. And Putin's reputation is already trashed.

It's not like he has a credible reputation on the line here. Regime opponents 'fall' out of high windows on a regular basis.
