A kangaroo court has just sentenced Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny to two and a half years in prison for violating his parole – while he was in a coma due to a poisonous Kremlin plot. Western leaders have rightly condemned injustice – but that seems to be the case.
After all, President Biden has just extended the New Start arms limit treaty, which favors Moscow for five years, while Germany continues to move forward with a Nord Stream gas pipeline to provide Putin a greater leverage over border states such as Ukraine.
Put aside this “internal problem”, as Putin’s minions call it: with his wars (proxy and others), Olympic deception, cyber attacks and meddling in the elections of other nations and the confiscation of other countries’ territory, the powerful Russian proved himself an enemy. civilized norms. It’s time to dump her and move on.
