I'm sure the media are scrambling to confirm the news. Where there is smoke, there's fire.

Was Alexei Navalny killed by Russian government?

Well...YES. Anyway you look at it, it all comes back to the numerous Putin ordered attacks on his body. Some one just said on CNN, "Navalny is the greatest president Russia will never have." AJMO

The trove of nearly 500 photographs of “Putin’s palace”, published by Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Fund, show that the palatial mansion on Russia’s Black Sea coast has a vast marble swimming pool decorated with busts of Greek gods, a hookah lounge with a pole for dancing, a wine cellar, theatre, and other gaudily decorated amenities.

BBC had a couple different Russians, Putin associated Russians, one being quoted, one being interviewed (with an extremely thick accent making it hard to distinguish every word) saying the "junta" leaders in Ukraine were responsible and NATO was responsible for Navalny's death.

I'm still trying to find the logic behind those thoughts. Anybody?

I think maybe a lot of folks are not clear who/what Navalny was. He was very anti-Putin and very much against the corruption that Putin used. But he was also a strong nationalist and in favor of annexing Crimea. Russia certainly would have been better with him than Putin, but I'm not sure Ukraine would have been.

He was for annexing Crimea by invading and brutal military force or a democratic vote of the peoples who lived there?

Rest in peace, Alexei !
My condolences to his loved ones.
He wasn't afraid to speak up.

We have no idea. I doubt Navalny would have done that. Part of Putin's plan is embedding in other motivations. Invading Ukraine was a stragic mistake that I doubt Navalny would have made. But my point is that many people are very misguided about Navalny. He would have been a better more fair leader for sure. But we has not pro-West despite Putin's attempts to label him that way and despite Navalny's encouragement of that perception. It is horrific that he is dead and there can be little doubt that he was likely murdered by pro-Putin forces. He was a threat to Putin for sure. He very well may have been a bit more easy to negotiate with if he were the Russian leader, perhaps more predictable, but he would not have been our friend.
