Yet another of Putin's opponents and critics to add to the long list of those poisoned, murdered or 'disappeared' in the name of dictatorship and totalitarianism. The Kremlin has cynically wished comatose opposition leader Navalny a "speedy recovery".

Let's remind ourselves that Putin is the guy whose 'word' Trump prefers over that of his own American intelligence agencies...

This was so predictable and mentioned a while ago on other thread.

Trump's admiration for Putin, brought to white light by the Trump love letters to Putin, is seriously wrong indicator for America and western/world democracy in the immediate and near future. It can only get worse and is getting so. Que Q.

However, the deputy head physician of the hospital later told media that it was not certain Mr Navalny had been poisoned, although poisoning was "naturally" one of the diagnoses being considered.

Sure let's jump right past the gun and blame someone for something that may not even be true.

Well, should we examine precedent and what happened to many of Putin's opponents and critics? To imply that there is no cause for immediately suspecting the Kremlin is behind this would be foolish or impossibly naive.

I’m sure there will be no comment from the White House.

Although, if I were Paul Manafort, I’d be very careful!

Occam's Razor is in play here.

Or, we could use the duck analogy....

To call this vile crook "leader of the opposition" is to know nothing about the political life of Russia.
