Putin is every bit as bad as claimed. If you don't see that, you're fucking blind. Navalny was only in prison to begin with because Putin is a thin-skinned shitheel that can't handle even a modicum of criticism.

I can’t speak to why Navalny was in prison, I only know that he was a fascist who wanted to invite US capitalists back to resume their neoliberal shock therapy plundering that started under Yeltsin and ended under Putin.

Oh yeah, totally. Because the US state apparatus would never abuse the legal system to punish dissidents. They have the national guard for that.
