The European Court of Human Rights ruled that Russian forces tortured and murdered Georgian civilians and burned their houses, in the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia.
Bizarrely, it was Georgia which started that war by attacking Russia, perhaps hoping to get NATO support when Russia counterattacked. But NATO declined to be drawn in.
I can't criticize Russia for counterattacking when attacked, but that doesn't excuse war crimes.
When Senator Manchin opposed stimulus payments to Americans, it wasn't because his constituents in West Virginia would disapprove if he supported them. Progressives played an ad on the radio in West Virginia criticizing his stance, and he changed it on the double.
I think this shows that his motive for opposing them was not a matter of appealing to voters, but rather one of satisfying rich donors.
This article says that Navalny has caused significant trouble for Putin and has got under his skin. So that, even in prison, Navalny is seen by Putin as a threat.
If that is true, I think Navalny will not live long. There are lots of ways to kill someone in prison.
