Russian Opposition Leader Is In Extreme Danger, Says Writer | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Fear he now may fall out of a window.
he will in a couple of days
Like the doctors who tried to alert russia to the presence of Covid back in Feb 20? Three of them fell out of windows. Putin is a monster. I fear Navalny will not survive a ‘random’ prison incident that ends his life. God almighty – what a man to walk into that situation. Orthodox russian christians have deified their jesus for facing evil despite risk of death. Putin has those hypocrites on the payroll now.
He is being tortured is what’s happening and that’s my opinion
@Priest Fulton J Wingba JR 😇
They will release him when he is braindead.
Same for every political and religious prisoner there
@Kabar well hopefully they can get him out of there before it causes too much harm I wouldn’t trust Putin just my opinion
You have to insist on him out of there sooner than later for his health sake for sure that’s my opinion
Navalny has to be in Russia to be relevant. Russia is not the west, it’s people not like the west even people in their outlooks ….. Putin is definitely hugely losing his grip, but one has to be concerned he will become super dangerous in an effort to hold onto power.
@Captain Blacktooth well at least some of the West still looks like the West
Interesting enough. Trump is under the same threat in America? Hmmmm
@General Patton in my opinion Trump wanted to be a dictator I don’t think this gentleman wants to be a dictator he just wants to replace Putin and I think he wants to do it fairly too just my opinion
@Laurie MC No, He wanted to be a barking dog for the US and its allies.
Everyone interested in learning about the investigation, search Putin’s Palace, 50 millions views in 2 days
300k
Yes, Putin’s Palace of “Versailles “. I read the article a couple of days ago.
60)
Putin,like Ttump,forgets The People of Russia owns Russia..
Not Putin..
The People will have their day..
This is a garbage rerun from 2010. You are being lied to, Navalny is a criminal
So is Uganda’s, the dictator arrested his wife and body guard too.
Putin is scared of Navalny. Silly boy.
Putin is a mob guy and mob guys get rubbed out.
Death to All Tyrants.
@william willie The Russian citizens are good people.
Its the Russian government that is dirty under Putin..
@william willie Stabilizing force ?
They have spent years destabilizing Democracy around the world..
Most recently..
The United States of America..
@No Way cry maggot cry … 😂
There’s a big difference between being a political “thorn” and being a martyr.
True. But Putin shat on that point of argument not so long ago. There might be one day when his fear gets the better of him again…
Putin apparently does not realize the difference and is about to make a big mistake
The real story is the corruption report he published to coincide with his return to Russia, which is making quite a few waves in Russia.
More power to Navalny. I hope he remains safe from that scoundrel Putin’s evil designs.
So Navalny will either be killed in prison or be the next ruler of Russia. Quite an either/or situation.
@CD_ Promo stop it and freeze? They need Russia’s oil.
Чувак я такой же комент оставил только на русском. Мы одинаково думаем).
@CD_ Promo excuse me,Putin rules Europe, not the other way around. Putin, a very powerful dictator. prayers for the citizens of Russia.
Our new commander is going after Russia harder than Trump ever has. LOL!
@Voice of Reasoning less and less every day
Navalny knew what he was in for, when he fearlessly went back. He could have stayed away. He clearly does not care about his life. His cause is more important.
True..he knew…but its not that he doesn’t care about his own life…its that he cares for his country and the people, and knows that he is the best chance for a democracy.
Republicans…Ted Cruz …josh hawley….you have no idea what it is to believe in country!,,, nevalny….this man is what integrity and humanity is all about!, …good luck🤞🏽🥰
He believes in his cause,but not God.He hasn’t had his come to Jesus moment, yet.Prayers for his safety. Prayers for the citizens of Russia.
@Larry Mosher lol
Navalny loves his country and he’s in jail for 30 days right now! He was not going to abandon Russia that’s why he went back! No doubt Putin the Poisoner poisoned Navalny!
He poisoned others as well
Putin is using Nalvany as a hostage for US diplomacy.
Prayers for him.
Man, I could NEVER have had the courage to go back!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Navalny cares more about his country than his own well-being. Respectable man
I can’t believe he went back to Russia. Very courageous, but man is that risky.
@Mr Perpetual I do not believe what you say..
I have watched how the Citizens love and believe in Navalny..
Putin did also and he didn’t like it.
Much like Trump couldn’t except The People chose Biden over Trump.
This is why Putin tried having Navalny killed.
It didn’t work. Obviously God was watching over Navalny..
So,Putin Jailed him to stop Navalny from winning the election.
But Navalny returned and Putin jails him again.
Obviously on made up charges..
But I’m sure, before its over..
The People of Russia will have their say.
The People of Russia owns their Motherland.
Not Putin..
@Mr Perpetual proof?
@Norman Gabbard Navalny only gets 20% of support in Russia he’s not threat to Putin.
@Mr Perpetual well, in comparison to Putin’s 35 percent and his unlimited tax payers budget it massive. Not sure he has that 35 after this week though
@Mr Perpetual Wrong..
So he’s been arrested and will be charged with the heinous crime of…. not dying when Putin poisoned him??
This man is a hero!! He’s facing a coward that can’t win anything fare and square!!
Sounds like China Joe.
He has that voice putin doesn’t.Jealousy comes a long way as a dictator,just look at trump.
