I can agree with all that, not to mention the timing with the Carlson interview. The fact is that none of us really know the facts; we only know what the media is telling us.
What about the WSJ Reporter? What about the dual citizen allegedly arrested for Treason when she went to Russia? This all smacks of attempts at media manipulation in The West in order to add ground toward striking Russia, or, getting Russia to strike us, or, worse yet, building a narrative for a false flag here in The U.S.
The acts attributed to Russia seem very forward and ham-handed for Putin. IF HE DID DO THEM, was there some sort of threat(s) or ultimatums given him via back channels that these actions would send a message to those threatening him?
We don’t know what’s really going on and might not ever know. I feel sure Navalny is dead and that’s about it. IF IT’S REPORTED that one or both of The Americans currently being held in Russia has also ‘died’, then, look out!
Understand that I’m asking questions aloud here. I do not claim to know anything. As always, I appreciate your discussion.
