🇷🇺🇺🇦 Discussion: Relations with Russia and the war in Ukraine

But sure, he's a fringe figure.

I looked at a few of the videos linked, I don't see a "mass" of people. The last one for example looks like a few people walking in the snow, with no indication that any of it is related to the caption. I have walked by Lyndon Larouche events with more people.

Here's a counterexample of what a mass of people looks like:

After some reflection, I think j I jumped to conclusions too quickly on Navalny's death. There's far too little information to support the conclusions I reached. I am simply not close to knowing why he died last week.

I mean, sure, there are some perfectly possible reasons he died that wasn't assassination. But, much like with Prigozhin, I feel like I know what is the most likely cause of death.

Arresting people who pay tribute to the man who was locked up because he dared to question the most powerful man in Russia...doesnt really look good.

I mean, sure, there are some perfectly possible reasons he died that wasn't assassination. But, much like with Prigozhin, I feel like I know what is the most likely cause of death.

The Track record kind of points in a certain direction.
The amount of political opponents to Putin that died in recent years...is quite high.
Add to that the lackluster investigations on these deaths and all that, we arent at 50/50 chances on Assassinations anymore...more like 70/30
