Well, folks, we didn't have to wait too long after all. Mr. Navalny was poisoned while traveling in Russya, his native land. Who poisoned him? Why, his countrymen, of course. No doubt Kremlin lackies of the Dictator in Chief: Mad Vlad. The old Colonel just can't stand to have an opponent who refuses to keep quiet( so aggravating!). Now Mr. Navalny was not waltzing around the 'hood; he was in the Russyan Far East, aka Siberia. His political activities include supporting other opponents of the current regime. He had been there to appear on behalf of candidates in an "election" that could help his party in opposition. While returning, he stopped at an airport tea cafe for a hot drink before the long flight to European Russya/Moskova. Soon after takeoff, he took ill, seriously so. The pilot decided to make an emergency landing to get the man to a medical facility asap. He landed in Omsk, where Mr. Navalny was transported to a hospital, now unconscious. His traveling assistant immediately notified his wife and his organization headquarters in Moskova.
Their response: get him immediately out of Russya and away from any Russyan medical staff. Hmmm. And why was this the insistent strategy of the opposition? Doesn't take much consideration, given the track record of the FSB. Maybe this time they would give him a lethal dose of whatever the poison of the day is today. Polonium tea? Maybe.
So after some struggles with the Kremlin, Mr. Navalny was transferred by plane to Berlin. Yes, Berlin. Can you believe that ? You are sick and you want to be somewhere else? Hmmm. What does that tell you? Russya continues to be a country without a moral spine. It continues to evade responsibility for its own actions, and the actions of its leadership.
Will Mr. Navalny survive? His future is in doubt. If he should survive, it will be a miracle.
Good luck.
