Of course he did. I bet he also called for world peace before he was forced by the West to invade Ukraine to save Ukraine from its corrupt Nazis out of the goodness of his heart

Prisoner swap? Did Putin forget that the official reason for the jail was supposedly “economic crimes”?

Weird article.

Putin says nothing about Navalny except that, “I’m cool getting him out of the country so long as he doesn’t come back.”

Navalny’s confederates: “See, see! Putin admits to killing Navalny!”

“Putin’s statements on Sunday were interpreted by his critics as an attempt to distance himself from involvement in Navalny’s death.”

Wait… didn’t Putin’s critics just say Putin was admitting publicly he had (or knew that) Navalny was about to die? Which is it, The Guardian?

“Putin already knew that Navalny was about to be killed, and that’s the only reason he agreed easily [to the swap], so that now he can say: ‘Well, you see, it wasn’t beneficial for me, I wanted to trade him,’ said Roman Dobrokhotov, an investigative journalist who was close to Navalny.

Wait, wait, wait… so did the prisoner swap happen, AND THEN, Navalny died? (checks internet)… Nope, he was still in a Siberian prison when he died. So… like… what would be the point? You can’t trade a dead prisoner for a live one, right? If you wanted the dude dead, why make a prisoner exchange deal that was (or would be) made public, and then have him killed?

And if I’m supposed to believe that Putin is willing to do the above… then what was with the a weirdly complicated “James Bond Movie” assassination scheme involving a very specific nerve agent to a Russian/British double agent in 2018?

Damn, I was hoping it was Putin who died.

Wouldn’t be surprised. That guy was largely irrelevant outside his popularity with western liberals.

If he was turned down why let that literal fuckin Nazi waste anymore air?

Navalny literally called for the expulsion of non white people and extermination of Muslims. Fuck him.
