Navalny signed his own death warrant by returning to Russia. It was just a matter of time and unfortunately, his death won't be the start of any popular uprising. Russians are sheep.

Although I am no Putin fan, I find that a lot of people who may be more aligned with his views on this conflict are coming from an angle of "why is Ukraine our problem" A lot of people don't like that the west is involved and that America is the worlds police in this and other matters.
I am of the view that Putin should have been taken out by the world's leaders ages ago and at the start of this war. I also think there is SOME validity to the concerns that a reasonable person has with regards to sending billions of dollars in military aid to another country when there are SO many issues at home.
Fully on Team Ukraine here and I understand the geopolitical nature in all of this but some of the concerns people have are legit concerns
