Aleksei Navalny, Russyan Dissident, sentenced to 2 years in Prison for Parole Violation
Mad Vlad Putin, Dictator for Life in the world's largest country, has seen to it that the young man who has been on a mission for years to expose Putin as a kleptomaniac and ruthless dictator, was arrested and sentenced to 3 1/2 more years in prison after returning from Berlin. He had been in hospital since last August after being poisoned by FSB agents who followed him to Siberia and gave him Novichuk, a deadly nerve agent created in military labs in MOscova.
His supporters and other opposition group members have been demonstrating against his imprisonment for the last 2 weeks, despite sub-zero winter temperatures, and repeated attempts by police to halt demonstrations on his behalf. New President Joe Biden, has made it his position that he not only supports Aleksei Navalny, but also the human rights issues that are clearly being abused in Russya by Putin. More sanctions are sure to follow against a regime that is already suffering the consequences of international moves(Ukraine invasion, Syrian intervention, and election intrusion in US, and cyber attacks against US government departments and corporate entities).
Putin is a lot like defeated ex-president Trump, the TV host who abused an entire nation for 4 long years. He needs the limelight to keep his ego tuned up and tuned in. He has run the country into the ground and it seems that a continuation of his efforts could lead to a day of reckoning in the near future.
We'll see.
