Tests indicate Putin critic Navalny was poisoned, German doctors say

German doctors treating Russian dissident Alexei Navalny say tests indicate he was poisoned.

They found "cholinesterase inhibitors" in his system, which are a broad range of substances that are found in several drugs, but also in pesticides and nerve agents.

The opposition politician is still in an induced coma but medics say there is no "acute danger" to his life.

Yorkshire tea got poisoned so I moved to another brand.

[PrivilegedWhiteRabbit]

Our enemies will be poisoned with their own words - Vladimir Putin.

[adamsmithintin]

Are they sure he didn't just have a ASDA own branded cup of tea by accident, I had one and was sure someone had poisoned my tea.

A Russian revolutionary being homed in Germany... I sware I've seen this before...

[WannabeMarsanach]

I wouldn't exactly call this 'breaking'. We already knew this was the case.

[husseinalmutlag]

They didn't want to kill him they wanted him to suffer for the rest of his life and to be a walking lesson to anyone thinks freedom is possible

Chinese. Russians, Iranians, North Koreans. Just cycle these countries in the news every few weeks.

We all knew this already. Most of us wouldn't expect anything else from Russia 😒

Several questions bother me:
1) Why would "Novichok" have been put in his tea, knowing that being diluted, Novichok is much less effective and is therefore no longer lethal?

2) Why would the Russian services have used Novichok, when this weapon was already spotted in 2018 with the Skripal affair?

3) Why do the media forget to mention that other countries than Russia have Novichok? For example Uzbekistan had asked in 1999 for technical assistance to the United States to decontaminate the site of Nukus (site of development and production of this Soviet weapon). The American experts on the spot, most certainly recovered samples of this weapon during the decontamination of the site of Nukus in Uzbekistan. From 1999 until 2018 (date of the Skripal affair), they are most certainly capable of reproducing this weapon, and the British and other NATO allies were able to obtain this weapon through the United States.

4) Since Sergei and Yulia Skripal left the hospital, why have they never appeared on TV to testify, not even quoting their words in articles? According to the British authorities, they would be in "a safe place", but even from a secret place, they could still testify and incriminate Russia with videos or texts, why did they never have the floor in our media? Maybe they don't share the same version of the story as our medias?

5) What interest would have had the Russian services to poison Alexeï Navalny, while he has mediocre scores in the elections and in the polls (even conducted by pollsters opposed to Vladimir Putin), because of his ultra-liberal ideas ( The Russians have a very bad image of liberals because of the disaster of the 1990s and the shock therapy instigated by the IMF and applied by Boris Yeltsin, who was supported by the West and by Russian bandits who were afraid of the return of the USSR, because the Communist Party was still very popular in the 1990s) and because of his far-right ideas, for example when he compared the Chechens to harmful cockroaches that must be killed, and because of his proximity with Ukrainian nationalists ?

6) Why is Alexeï Navalny so supported by the West?

7) Why was Alexei Navalny photographed while he was drinking his tea, exactly when he was allegedly poisoned?

8) Why is Emmanuel Macron ready to give political asylum to Alexeï Navalny, but not to Edward Snowden and Julian Assange?

9) What was the interest of the German NGO "Cinema For Peace" in chartering a private medicalized jet to transport Alexeï Navalny from Siberia to Germany? (The transfer cost is around $ 70, 000, funded by "someone supporting him")

10) Why is Piotr Pavlenski (the one who revealed Benjamin Griveaux's nudes) is interned in a psychiatric hospital? When Piotr Pavlenski attacked the Russian government, France loved him and granted him the status of "political refugee", but when Piotr Pavlenski now attacks the French government seeing that it is no better than the russian government, so he disturbs French government and he is interned in a psychiatric hospital ^^

The famous English Highly likely phrase.:-)

[mlp-hot-rod]

I'm so glad so many people can smell the BS in all this. I have faith humanity will prevail.

[nesdz]

it was a no-brainer that they would find poisoning, moreover, they would also say that Putin personally poisoned him.

[MichaelAyden]

Poor man.. I hope he regains full health. A courageous and righteous man may I add.

[bozchav]

how much did they pay him to say that?

[nataliahomas]

Again "Highly Likely".... Probably severe hangover....

[zombiegameruk]

Trouble is, UK news pulls the Russia bad card so much we never know what's actually real news and what's not 🤣
