    I'm not totally surprised.....Putlerstan cleaning house.


    I suspect the "consortium" here will be posting the usual diatribe?

    Navalny is one of the individual known good Russians. Yes there are good Russians fighting along side Ukrainians against Putin not Russian. I do not expect nor want those good Russians to fight against their country but against Russian - terror, dictators, NAZISM, and that ilk. Good Russians are fighting Putin to save their country.

    My one problem with Navalny is that he wants Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine to be “together” somehow. Not sure how he envisions that. I wanted Ukraine and Russia and Belarus to live as good neighbors and “friends” but all three to let each other live in peace and their independence not to be violated. Some form of cooperation is fine but never never never as “one” nation.
    SVONODA is paramount.

    Of course they and they will wish or already do wish that Donald could have the power his puppet master has and that Donald would dispose of his fantasy “enemies” as Donald does. Try likely want gulags in North Dakota and Alaska. Speaking of Alaska Donald likely would like to gift Alaska to his favorite master Putin.

    The least bad thing Donald’s cultists will say about Navalny’s eradication by Putin is that “it’s not our business. Of course they ignore the truth and will line up to kiss you know whose but just as Lyndsey Graham has been again and will do since he lacks testicular fortitude.

    Yeah....Reagan party is all gone and "dead".... Ronnie would be turning in his grave to see what's happened.

    GWB Sr also....he wouldn't be none to happy.

    I suspect the "cheer team" will be on here soon crapping out tales of a CIA plot to kill Navalny and frame the Botox chimp.....that's how weak minded and 3rd world the Z-egenerates are.

    They won't post immediately. They wait to see how their favorite propaganda outlets respond.

    I agree. It was kind of crazy of him to go back after the attempted poisoning. Don't know why he thought that was a good move.

    Former CIA Director David Petraeus: I was surprised Alexei Navalny lived for as long as he did


    Pretty much the same sentiment that everyone has, it would seem.

    I wonder if he could have rallied the Russians from outside of mafialand. I imagine it couldn't stand to stay away from the fight and just convinced himself that he could do something there that he couldn't from exile.

    Now Putler's opposition will be even more cowed. It shows that he is very concerned with maintaining that deterrence to keep himself in power and control as the war continues to stir up negative sentiments.

    Putlerstan has no choice but to stay on course with his destructive path....far too much resources have been expended ...with little to show for.

    I'm hearing France is switching or possibly switching to a war economy....the threat is real.

    Yeah, Europe seems to be getting serious as the Zerg continue to ramp up their war production and show no sign of stopping, and Trump signals that if he wins, they may be on their own.

    who knows....being poisoned should have been a bit of a wake up call...and in all honesty where did it get him....inspite of his activism and his courage and his charisma there is no credible opposition....internal repression has only got worse....
    Saying that.... like the Skripal's in Salisbury they would more than likely have hunted him down.....I'm pretty sure they would have killed him anyway...

    Maybe, or he may have been like Garry Kasparov, disliked for his "disloyalty" or whatever, but alive.

    I can only imagine he was overly optimistic and naïve about how it would play out.

    Yeah....if the French look to be ramping up....then I suspect others to follow soon enough...since France is one of the major player economies....and nuclear armed.

    Yep....Germans are starting to see the threat.


    400300 Orcs KIA as of this afternoon....1210 stiffs KIA today.

    500 000 KIA by late May....early June....so far my body count is fairly accurate...judging by the reporting.

    I still suspect the #s are even higher.
