Russian Opposition Leader Navalny Goes On Hunger Strike | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Putin needs to be held accountable for all the evil he’s done in this world
I agree but Putin is a role model for too many.
Just as Trump should also 👍💯
@barbara ferdon Right! As well as, Kim. All of the bad guy leaders. It’s awful 😕💝🦋
@TheHopetown👀 pizzagaetz, is that you?
Is Vlad is Chabad. Real bad. Arming Erdogan. Putin is a traitor to all Christians.
Putin is scared of Navalny
@Victor Lungu that’s for sure Putin owns everything and everybody Sad
Is Vlad is Chabad. Real bad. Arming Erdogan. Putin is a traitor to all Christians.
@Right Hand you are right
@Julie Tirado humbled 👍😊
@Right Hand 😊
Hunger strike is a good way of NOT being poisoned.
🇺🇸☮️🇺🇸
Denying you’re being tortured, by way of starvation and withholding of medical care, is also a good way to prevent your family from being executed. This is Putin and the KGB, after all.
I doubt the Russian people will accept he died of “natural causes” or “accidentally fell out of an 8 story window” but Putin may feel he’s better gone than not. Can’t say Navalny isn’t a heroic figure. Like John Lewis or MLK heroic! Knowing you may likely die for a cause.
Is Putin is Chabad. Real bad.
Alexei is justified. Vlad is arming Turkey.
Right Hand LONG LIVE NAVALNY
@R. G. Biv & the Romanovs.. ❤️✝️
Hero
LONG LIVE NAVALNY!!!
American hero.
@Alec72HD why that?
@PixelPhobiac
Trained in America 10 years ago to destroy Russia from inside.
Alec72HD and he will, NKVD sleekit, he will.
The resistance lives!!!✊
LONG LIVE NAVALNY!!!
Russian youth need to transfer their allegiance and support from lil pump to this guy!
He has already survived being poisoned with a nerve agent by Putin The Poisoner, so this will be nothing.
The Republican-led Texas state Senate passed a bill early on Thursday that would ban mail-in ballot drop boxes and most drive-thru voting—in the wake of controversy about the voting practices being used during the Nov. 3 election
@ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe what’s that got to do with this story ?
@Censorship Is real It’s a fake bot account
Where did you get those facts?
@S M Poisoner confessed after being tricked in to thinking he was dealing with someone else who was part of FSB
LONG LIVE NAVALNY!!!!!
Navalny is a neonazi.
But the enemy of my enemy is my friend…
Is he?
Jan Van Besouw lies from a soviet troll, how expected.
@Jan Van Besouw
Yes, Navalny is an enemy of Russia.
And American hero.
Alec72HD he was dying when he left germany. he made a decision. LONG LIVE NAVALNY
@R. G. Biv
No, supposedly he was fully recovered from his mysterious illness.
This so called Novichok never killed its intended target yet.
Maybe the British lab which is making it has a wrong formula.
He shouldn’t have returned to Russia.. Could have still been a strong voice of protest in exile.
Don’t think so. I understand your point, but he’s more dangerous for Putin in Russia than in exile.
My hero
Every American loves an enemy of Russia
God bless this man. Brother has got brass balls. I hope that’s enough. 🙏
yea…sure
Brass Balls is not the Word, The world needs to help this man
@Julie Tirado
Don’t worry about Navralny.
America is taking good care of his family, they are paying for his daughter to attend Stanford University among other things.
He is willingly sacrificing himself to destroy Russia.
I hope he doesn’t go full Bobby Sands….. The world needs this guy
I was also thinking of Bobby Sands and the other 9 hunger strikers in Northern Ireland back in 1981 when I heard about Navalny. I was nearly 19 years old when that happened, and it was all over US news here as well as elsewhere. I too hope it doesn’t go that far; this is a sad, awful situation.
@Arla Dicey one of my first memories is may 5th 1981… I was only 5 years old…. It was the only time I ever saw my father cry…. I became a dedicated fenian at that moment…
@mr Pepperidge Farms I am American, but I remember it being on the news quite a bit. It was a very sad time. I truly hope Navalny’s hunger strike does not take the same path.
If this is your way of getting the International Community to stand with you my brother. Thumbs up!! The Lord is touched with the feelings of your infirmities. We pray for your release. God bless and your 👪 and those who believe in your quest for democracy.
God save this brave man. His doing righteous work in this world. Standing up to evil. Are you? Or, are you accepting evil as just another part of your day?
This man is making a stand. He’s not just a face on your screen. He’s the real deal. Are you?
Navralny will destroy Russia.
He is American hero.
Are you?
I am worried they will think of other ways to feed him :(. The US did that at gitmo
The other prisoners should be looking after Navalny, he is their best chance of freedom.
I’m surprised he’s even made it this far!
Servitude never ended in Russia, just new owners that tell the masses what to think, say & do.
Even more so in US.
@Alec72HD Servitude comes in many forms, true,
@ExposingMiLabs
Russia had anarchy in the 90s during Yeltsin.
People got tired of it real fast.
Putin ended the lawlessness and created what is modern Russia today.
Alec72HD the USSR never went away. it just pretended to…wouldn’t you agree?
got teabag daily like clock work
For those whom wonder why he went back: if they succeed in killing him, millions will rise.
He is sacrificing himself for what he believes to be the greater good.
Don’t worry about Navralny.
America is taking good care of his family, they are paying for his daughter to attend Stanford University among other things.
He is willingly sacrificing himself to destroy Russia.
Or the grater good in the eyes of America.
