Putin is every bit as bad as claimed. If you don't see that, you're fucking blind. Navalny was only in prison to begin with because Putin is a thin-skinned shitheel that can't handle even a modicum of criticism.

Oh yeah, totally. Because the US state apparatus would never abuse the legal system to punish dissidents. They have the national guard for that.

I can’t speak to why Navalny was in prison, I only know that he was a fascist who wanted to invite US capitalists back to resume their neoliberal shock therapy plundering that started under Yeltsin and ended under Putin.
