“Yesterday it was the murder at Putin's behest of Alexei Naval…”

We don’t know this. And, in fact, it doesn’t make sense as Navalny was safe in prison in the Arctic, and this is a propaganda bonanza for NATO. Putin is a dangerous, scary guy - but he’s also smart and rational. He only kills people when it is useful to do so. This murder isn’t useful, and does not serve him.

Now, the US has millions of people who’d never heard of this guy until a couple of days ago, who know absolutely nothing about him, suddenly weeping as if the guy were MLK, rather than a right wing nationalist and probable NATO/ CIA asset.

I am not saying his imprisonment or death were justified (I honestly don’t know enough to weigh in…) but while Americans are up in arms about Russia’s political prisoners, it thinks nothing about its own. We have innocent civilians dying in Gitmo, forced Snowden into exile, imprisoned Manning for nearly a decade, have been torturing Assange by proxy, and have left a trail of dead journalists either through inaction or seemingly direct action.

As useful as this death is to the US propaganda machine, and as necessary to push through more funding for our MIC, it would make more sense for the US to have ordered this hit.

Boy, I LOVE it when people who aren’t American, don’t live here, don’t know much about life here- tell ME how stupid I am for supporting Joe Biden. I just love it. You didn’t live through Reagan. Then Bush I. You didn’t live thru Bush II, (who just about destroyed the country and the world). Then we got Obama, who probably saved the country from imploding, (or at least held off the waves for a while). To be anything to left of Ted Cruz is to ALWAYS be fighting a rear-guard action against a HORDE of “Christian”-Fascists with more guns in their CARS then you have in your entire country; more money than the rest of the world COMBINED; and who never have to deal with an interested national press corps. Nevermind an adversarial press corps. I’ll take Joe Biden every day & twice on Sunday.
