This has already been discussed. You're running a cheap association con and trying for the veneer of legitimacy. Regardless of who supposedly claimed what. Putin sent Navalny, his democratic opponent, to die in the gulag. Framing it as natural causes as opposed that puts the Russians in a much better light.
You do always call for appeasement and to stop military funding. These acts would both serve Russian interests.
I really haven't called anyone else a shill since Darrin in the climate days. He would do duplicitous like yourself. I have called no one but you pro Russian. You ever figure out the part of your post that referred to internal RUS politics?
