Probably not. America and Europe are insisting that countries have to pay more for energy and other 'green' policies. This means staying poor and getting poorer.
So long as the West is praying in the church of global warming, other countries will be favorable towards Russia and China.

Now do Trump. What do you think he would do in this situation?

.Drill, less oil and gas revenue for Russia. Also less money for Iran, and they won't have as much 5capacity to develop drones for Russia.
He inflicted on Russia it's biggest losses since World War 2(until the last few years in Ukraine). This is when Mattis called up and asked about troops in Syria and his counterpart said they were mercenaries and had nothing to do with them. Mattis hung up and killed them within the hour., having already launched forces from a base in Africa before he even made the call.


What?

Some in India are starting to see that renewables can be cheaper than fossil fuel. The economics are there. It's the political BS getting in the way.

Litveneko died of polonium-210 poisoning in London in 2006

Prigozhin former Wagner leader who supposedly negotiate a truce with Putin. His plane exploded

Nemstov, former opposition leader with ties to Yeltsin, shot four times in the back by an unknown assailant within view of the Kremlin

Anna Politkovskaya- journalist and critic of Putin shot in her apartment building in Moscow in 2006.

Plenty of others who allegedly have committed suicide or fallen out of tall buildings.

Navalny shouldn’t have returned. Good chance his body is never released or found because Putin wouldn’t want his gravesite to become a symbol of resistance.




You think Nemtsov has been forgotten? They were laying roses for navalny at the spot where nemtsov was shot. I suppose you also think Mandelstam was forgotten. Just because Americans don’t know these names doesn’t mean they are forgotten. Russians remember. At this point, I don’t know what the average Russian can do though. The noose is already too tight. There may be an end game with the sanctions …. I think Putin has been financially living on borrowed time and I don’t know that selling oil to India and China is enough to prop up the whole thing. He’s very in debt. There may come a day when the house of cards starts to topple and someone on the inside pulls the trigger on regime change. There was also a lot of speculation that he had cancer a year or two ago but I’m not seeing it — he looks pretty healthy although stuffed with filler and Botox.

Justice for Navalny: We need to make sure the CIA pays out his pension to his wife and kids. Don't let them disavow him like some no-name asset.

His wife was able to get him transferred to Germany and this is sort of where the documentary starts. He has 2 children. I couldn’t understand why he insisted on going back to Russia when he could have stayed in Germany. He gets on a plane, with press and his wife and as soon as they land in Russia he’s arrested and he was in custody ever since.

I don’t agree at all with Putin or Russian politics. But when you have children, to me it was crazy that he left them again. You just knew he would die. And now he has. It’s very sad. probably won’t change anything re how the world deals with Putin.


I totally agree. He could have done more good by continuing to post anti-Putin messages from abroad. It made zero sense to go back to Russia. It was 100% predictable he was going to die. And changes nothing now.

Navalny was only 47 and Putin is 71. He just needed to wait Putin out.


DP
this is the only mystery about him- why did he go back.
I don’t think he was a martyr and did it to help his case.
Either there was someone in his circle who gave him false guarantees from the Russian side, or he did it for his family (lifetime guarantee of their prosperity from the west).
Or maybe one of the sides threatened his family if he didn’t return.
We will probably never know

It would have made more sense for him to live and wait Putin out. He could have done much more, and now Putin has “won.”


Which begs the question: why did he go back if it didn’t make any sense on the surface?

Putin’s men will murder wives and children overseas. Navalny likely went back to spare his family a brutal death. He received a very clear message that his family was next.

Germany is not safe, elites are compromised by Russia.


His daughter is in the U.S., couldn’t they all move?

It’s not just oil

Russia is a world leader in so many primary resources for human existence

Oil, gas, uranium, wood, fertilizer, wheat, I could go on but Russia is exceptionally blessed with resources

For the idiot who posted above about Gonzalo Lira (and misspelled his name) - Lira wasn't murdered by anyone. He died from pneumonia. He was a heavy drinker and smoker and had a lot of serious cardiovascular issues. And, he wasn't even remotely a "journalist" - he was only "internet-famous" for running an extremely misogynistic Youtube channel called "Coach Red Pill" and he got arrested for going to Ukraine and posting disinformation such as claiming the Bucha massacre was "faked." The Ukrainian criminal code is quite clear on that. He was supposed to appear and stand trial after his initial arrest but instead, he added more charges by failing to appear, jumping bail and attempting to flee the country. To try and compare that lying turd Lira with Navalny is ludicrous and disgraceful.

Really? Then why did Russia invade Ukraine to try and steal its wheat crops, its oil and gas fields and so on? And no, Russia isn't so uniquely blessed in those areas. Canada for example produces more uranium than Russia. The US produces more timber than Russia. Your claims and statistics are lacking.

Thanks for posting--I've been waiting to see an official response from him on the death of Navalny. THIS is the response? How is he making the leap from Navalny's sudden death to "WE ARE A NATION IN DECLINE A FAILING NATION!"? It makes no sense. Why can't he be normal like almost every other politician on this earth and express his dismay? Why aren't his supporters ever bothered that he refuses to criticize Putin?
