    Navalny wasn’t a threat

    Navalny wanted to sell out to the west, which was genuinely deeply unpopular

    I see. If Navalny was such an unpopular non-threat, why did the FSB poison him? The purpose of the FSB is to protect Russia’s ruling regime, right? So presumably they poisoned Navalny to protect the regime.

    Why is it that Russian authorities can’t even tolerate a mural of Navalny? See picture:

    A mural in Saint Petersburg of Alexei Navalny, being painted over by a uniformed man.

    Ukraine, since 2014, has been governed by Banderites

    Ukraine since 2014 has been governed by elected governments. Unlike Russia, which has been governed by a regime which prevents genuine elections from taking place.

    Donetsk and Luhansk to secede and vote to join the Russian Federation

    It’s likely that you already know that armed separatists in those regions, with assistance from Russia, seized land and government buildings. Then they held sham “referendums” to try and make their armed seizure appear democratic.

      As yogthos pointed out, Navalny was a fascist, comparing Muslims to cockroaches, and whose party never had more than 5% support. I would hope that murals of fascists would be taken down, and your claims of “supporting democracy” seem to in reality be a cover for supporting fascists.

      Regarding Ukraine, since the Banderite coup in 2014, it has been governed by far-right nationalists that work closely with Neo-Nazis like Azov. This is what caused Donetsk and Luhansk to secede, and is why they voted to join the Russian Federation, rather than remain under the thumb of Kiev’s new regime. The armed seperatists are popularly supported, and kicked out the Kiev-backed governments.
