WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Donald Trump, who drew criticism as U.S. president for his praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, made his first public comment on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Monday in a social media post that cast no blame. "The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country," Trump wrote, appearing to link the death to his own political troubles. It was not clear what similarities Trump was trying to draw with Russia's most prominent opposition leader.

              Removed for misinformation. Liberals do not support Nazis and Biden is not engaging in a genocide in Gaza.

                They are eulogizing a dead Nazi because he opposed Putin, Biden is funding and providing weapons to commit genocide, and his own UN representatives has veto a ceasefire resolution. That’s engaging on genocide

                  Oh boy… Navalny, despite being a right wing asshole, was not a Nazi.

                  Biden supporting Israel is immaterial to the ongoing genocide because Israel has all the weapons and funding they need, they aren’t using OUR weapons to kill people in Gaza.

                  Biden is supporting Israel because he wants the Israel PAC fundraising dollars.

                    supporting Israel for the money is probably the worst reason, besides just being a Zionist, which he claimed to be. it’s bad all around, and inexcusable.

                    he was an unapologetic nationalist who characterized foreigners as vermin. he was also seeking power in the oligarchy of Russia so… he shouldn’t get the benefit of the doubt on this one.

                    they aren’t using OUR weapons to kill people in Gaza.

                    Then when would Biden bypass congress 3 times now to provide additional weapons to Israel if NONE of our weapons are being used in Gaza? Just because a drunk former SoH said so doesn’t make it truth.

                    was not a Nazi

                    So what is the correct word for a white nationalist wanting Arabs exterminated like roaches and flies, and wanted Russia for Russians only, xenophobic? If he were a US politician he would be among the likes of MTG and trump. And liberals certainly wouldn’t be mourning his death.

      i’m pretty sure this sub is heavily manipulated by some sort of astroturfing bot net. mostly because it seems like a word for word echo of /r/politics and we know that sub is heavily manipulated

      so i just hope some real people see this and re-evaluate their positions. one guy at least seemed genuinely curious and wasn’t aware. so that’s something, at least.

          It’s a neoliberal type of left. Basically establishment DNC. You know, the type to ask your pronouns before they launch a bomb with a pride flag on it at brown people.

          Regardless, it’s still heavily manipulated. My ex-gf worked for DNC and participated in these types of “outreach campaigns”.

          Don’t take anything you read online at face value
