This dude bombs children’s hospitals. The modern world needs a word that’s worse than “coward” to account for these ultra garbage dictators

I am specifically referring to AN though. We know what Putin is... and isn't.

I still don't understand why Navalny came back to russia. He knew he would get arrested.

Because it makes him look strong in the eyes of the average Russian. It’s all about “strength” over there and that’s one thing a lot of Russians say they like about Navalny.

I agree with you but still rot in a prison for the rest of his life is kinda sad ... He is brave for sure.

Navalny can't expect get fair court hearing with Putin having control over court. It is not good.

As long as Putin or some derivative of his is in power, I'm afraid Navalny will not enjoy any freedom.

In July 2017, in an interview with Echo of Moscow radio station, Alexei Navalny said that if elected Russian president, he would provide a "fair referendum" in the occupied Crimea and try to involve Ukraine and the EU. He was not if favour of returning Crimea to Ukraine.
"As president, I can guarantee one thing - that I will hold a fair referendum there, I will try to normalize the situation. We will try to involve Ukraine in this referendum and in the tripartite commissions together with the European Union. Honestly, if not cunning, I doubt that Ukraine recognizes this referendum", - Navalny said. "There are two million people with Russian passports. That is already some incomprehensible forcemeat. You can't turn this stuffing back. Therefore, there is no simple solution to the Crimean problem", - he said.

> Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his government was expecting "Strong decisions" from defence leaders of NATO and other countries meeting on Friday to discuss boosting Ukraine's ability to confront Russian forces with modern battle tanks.
> While US representatives are there to discuss the latest massive package of aid Washington is sending - which includes Stryker armoured vehicles for the first time - broader hesitation over sending tanks to Ukraine has roiled the coalition.

In the West his is a textbook symbol of freedom fighter suffering for his cause - some sort of Get Out of Jail Free card (ironic, I know). They don't dig into his past, they don't watch his controversial and outright outrageous interviews where he speaks like any other russian imperialist. They see a façade and like it without second thought. And they are missing a simple fact that being a victim of the regime in russia doesn't mean you are white-winged crusader against all evil.

Putin is such a disgusting, murdering coward. He wasn't man enough to compete with AN so he tried and failed to kill him. Then imprisoned his competition. What a filthy little coward.
