Think I got the news when it was breaking and I mean, seriously, putin just had to have him murdered.

Aleksei Navalny was the victim of two assassination attempts by putins goons using Novichok . The report said Navalny “just died in prison.” Yeah. Sure. Right.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Novichok was used for the final assassination attempt which sadly worked.

Americans and the Press have a difficult time wrapping their minds around the reality of Putin's Russia. (We live in the Golden Rule world.) Think about the drug lords and the US Mafia. Now give them nuclear tipped hypersonic missiles, 100 million citizens to extort money from, a few million young men you can sacrifice to invade and extend control over neighbors, control of the legal system to avoid accountability for criminal acts, control of the press and unlimited cyber war on enemies. Corrupt the politicians in your enemys' governments to prevent them from stopping you. Use every asset and method to retain and extend power, without any limits. This is truly ORGANIZED crime!

I recall Soviet general that left when or around the fall of the USSR saying more or less what you said with further clarification and I paraphrase, " we kept the Voy within our borders and they were controlled by KGB, army etc. Now they are loose on the world." And oligarchy has indeed been loosed. And Russia under Putin is one big Voy.

I'm breathlessly awaiting "Tucker"'s take on this. Are we sure he didn't suggest it to Putie?

That is Putin's favorite means of assassination if there are no high-rise buildings with windows handy.
