"The Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny is in a coma and on a ventilator in a hospital intensive care unit after a suspected poisoning his supporters believe is tied to his anti-Kremlin activism."

Wouldn't happen here.... Or in the US....

Not the first time he's been poisoned, if that is what it turns out has happened.

Conspiracy theorists are of course completely uninterested in ACTUAL THINGS THAT HAPPEN, like this.

Incredible that one of the world's most powerful nations is brazenly acting as if it's the mafia. At least China have the decency just to make people disappear

No some of us are aware of this fascist, racist neo-liberal.

Working for the West of course, trying to interfere with Russian affairs.

Yes obviously this has been a mutual thing for a very, very long time. The fact that it is mutual often gets "forgotten" both in Russian and Western media, however.

It’s good to know that they don’t just export that sort of behaviour.

Putin, Trump, Johnson, what an absolute horror show triumvirate of world leaders. Have we ever had such a set of toxic and unfit for office leaders in place at the same time before? You’d have to go back to the days of Stalin, Hitler, Petain and Il Duce.

It’s scary when folks equate these leaders to Stalin and Hitler. It’s a shame some people don’t value education. Trump, Putin and Johnson can be compared to the gulags and concentration camps? Cheese and rice, you people are dangerous,

Have you seen what Trump does with migrants from Mexico? Concentration camps are a valid analogy.
There are rumours in Chechnya that gays are rounded up, under the auspices of Putin.

Xi Jinping as well. It's more of a quad.

No wonder the world is in such a massive state

On his way to Germany. Another complete poisoning balls-up by (allegedly, cough) Putin if Navalny survives.

And what will the world do about it? Nothing. We’ll just go on moaning about it while the poor b*ggers in those countries get popped off without reproach.
