    As the media around the world report on the death of Alexei Navalyn is this the event when things get out of hand ? The event when things escalate very quickly.
    His death in my mind is a very wrong move in putins chess game in fact it's checkmate. Nothing stirs the passion more in a oppressed nation than that of the murder (or death) of a hero, history tells us this just like ww1 the death of one person started the avalanche of nazism. This also is a huge huge test on Biden he made big threats 3 years ago to Russia warning them that Navalyn's death would cause a huge reaction from America..If Biden does nothing putin laughs and oul Joe and America looks weak...roller coaster ride due soon (y) his last message video posted below to Russia citizens

    There’s no evidence that he was murdered. Yet.

    Jailed Russian opposition figure Alexey Navalny dies, prison service says
    The CNN Film chronicling the 2020 attempted assassination of Alexey Navalny airs on Saturday 9p ET/PT on CNN, CNNi and is streaming on Max.

    CNN — none
    Jailed Russian opposition figure and outspoken Kremlin critic Alexey Navalny, who made global headlines when he was poisoned with a nerve agent in 2020, has died aged 47, the Russian prison service said.

    The cause of his death remained unclear, but the news drew a forceful reaction from Western leaders Friday, including US President Joe Biden, who pinned the blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that “what has happened to Navalny is yet more proof of Putin’s brutality.”

    Navalny had returned to Russia in 2021 from Germany, where he had been treated after being poisoned with Novichok, a Soviet-era nerve agent. On arrival, Navalnvy was swiftly arrested on charges he dismissed as politically motivated.

    He has been incarcerated ever since, with longstanding concerns for his welfare growing more intense after he was transferred to a penal colony north of the Arctic Circle.

    The Russian prison service on Friday said Navalny “felt unwell after a walk” and “almost immediately” lost consciousness. It said it was investigating his “sudden death.”

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saidPutin had been informed of the reports and that it is for doctors to determine the cause of Navalny’s death.

    “As far as we’re aware, in accordance with all the rules, the prison service is carrying out checks and clarifications,” Peskov told reporters. Asked about reports that the death involved a blood clot, he replied: “I don’t know. Doctors must find it out.”

    The announcement shocked his family and supporters as Navalny had appeared in court via video link as recently as Thursday, joking with the judge about how he was running short of money.

    Navalny’s spokesperson, Kira Yarmysh, initially said the Putin critic’s lawyer was traveling to Kharp, where Navalny had been held since December. “As soon as we have any information, we will report it,” Yarmysh wrote on X.

    She later said the reports of Navalny’s death were “most likely true.”

    Even if he did die from natural causes he was in prison, the very very very small minority in russia will accept that outcome. The rest and all of the world leaders wont.

    This is the question. On the day that the Ukraine has had to retreat from Avdiivka, this event does nothing to benefit Putin. He is inexorably winning the war, why do this now? Unless he is letting his hubris get the better of him. It might have little domestic effect. Russians seem to accept brutal, strong leaders.

    Nalvany was a stooge of the cabal. Seriously our own governments are the main enemies we will face. Id rather be under a russian or brit boot strap than listen to the filthy quisslings ruling our land. What do we have to fear in the end? There is a lot of frustration because we don't see all ends and we have to deal with the ramifications of the evil of this age. But remember the words from the Virgin. Russia will.be converted etc. Russia is not going to be the problem. The problem lies a lot closer to home. Anyways exciting times and whiskey

    Not entirely correct. Russia will be a big problem first. "Russia will again be the scourge by which God punish humanity". Russia is most definitely a problem right up until the warning at which point Russia and the entire world will begin their major conversions.

    We are continually lied to in the most outrageous ways; I'd be careful not to be taken in. The word, 'Slavic', comes from the word , 'Slave'. Originally the Russ, the Russians were enslaved by the Northmen who conquered their country. When the Vikings converted to Christianity which came from Constantinople their Slaves were forced to convert too. They were not given a choice and were mass Baptised in local rivers.

    What I mean is they are coming from a totally different historical /cultural/ religious background than the rest of us. They want and expect a strong central leader and that is their choice. As far as I can see Vladimir Putin has massive, massive support amongst the Russian peoples and Church. That is their choice and we should respect that.

    As to us having , 'Democracy' in the West. Well do we really? Or aren't we really being ruled with oligarchs who rule in a sophisticated way? Isn't our , 'Democracy', itself an illusion? A for instance I see George Soros is planning to take over 200 radio stations in the the USA before the next election:

    https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/s...radio-stations-ahead-us-presidential-election

    As the old saying goes, 'If democracy actually worked it would be banned'. Look what they are doing with Trump at the moment. How is that much different than what happened to Alexei?

    I would be very, very cynical indeed about the whole good guy/ bad guy narrative we are being sold in the media.

    You know in Ireland at the minute we are supposed to have democracy.

    Yet all our major parties support abortion.

    They all support mass migration.

    They all buy into Woke agendas including LBGQ alphabet issues..

    They all go with undercutting Irish Neutrality.

    They are all have basically the same policies. All of them as a Catholic I cannot vote for.

    How are things any different here in Ireland as far as Democracy is concerned any different than they are in Russia? Vladimir Putin's politics which be much , much closer to mine that any of these Woke stoogies.

    St. Louis de Montfort said that to have True Devotion or Consecration to Our Lady means to be a Slave of Mary, one day the Russians through the Consecration of Russia would become Slaves of Our Lady leading to the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart...

    This is mentioned in other Catholic Prophesies, that a Light would shone from the East. It's certainly not gonna shone from the Vatican the way things are.

    In this, and the post just prior to it, you have expressed perfectly what I perceive is my present political position. The only people I could vote for are a few independents and a couple of good people who abandoned SF on conscience grounds, at the time of the abortion referendum. However, none of these people have the remotest chance of achieving any power.

    It's true we don't have democracy. But Padraig, 66 percent of the Irish people voted for abortion. Yes I know the campaign was full of lies but they still chose abortion and I don't think I'll ever understand.

    But everyone I talk to is against the numbers of young single men being bussed into towns and villages. Also most people have more common sense than to agree with messing with children's heads with trans woke nonsense. Yet it's still being imposed so yeah is it any worse here with the delusion of having democracy because our political leaders don't give a tinkers curse what we want. Like de Gaulle I vote for independents though I know well they haven't a hope of getting in. I'm looking forward to canvassers calling to the door because I intend to let them have it. Sinn Fein will be told Mary Lou herself told me not to vote for them the day she announced there was no room in their party for pro life views. Cheers Mary Lou it's good to know where I stand.

    Make mine's the peatiest Scotch you've got.

    Yes its a bit like being up the creek without a paddle. Or in the political wilderness. The outer darkness or desert. Not only is there no one we could vote for, but to be considered so far to the right for your beliefs as to be adjudging as being literally insane.

    The nuts calling you nuts.

    I don't consider myself far to the right at all. In fact I consider myself pretty moderate. It's just everyone else has gone so far Woke it makes me look Far Right.
