Friday Night Update: the “super genius” that is Hinderaker feels Putin’s murder of Mr. Navalny is essentially equivalent to Trump’s loss today in court — of over a half billion dollars. That’s unworthy if any response. End update.
Mr. Navalny reportedly lost consciousness in an arctic prison cell sometime yesterday — and has died.
He was 47. His crime? Opposing Putin. Peacefully.
Putin tried to poison him four years ago, in Germany. He survived. Then, on his return to Russia — fearless, but perhaps foolish — he was jailed and ultimately handed a three decade sentence.
Putin is a coward. He cannot meet criticism with reasoned discussion.
And Tucker Carlson is a churlish pig, for his servile broadcast interview of Putin last week, and his propaganda pieces on how Moscow’s trains are “spotless and running on time”. [Scott Johnson has similar criticisms of Carlson and Putin. Nice.]
I wonder why Carlson (ever a supporter of vigorous dissent — or more precisely, grabbing big payoffs to say provocative stuff) didn’t ask Putin why he hasn’t freed Mr. Navalny — last week.
Oh well. Too late, right, Tucker?
Out.
