It was so bad that even western media was forced to report on it. In 2021, a BBC article reported even Amnesty International was forced to strip Navalny’s “prisoner of conscience” status for the violence and hate he unremorsefully promoted https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084
That same month, US government-funded Radio Free Europe likewise was forced to concede Navalny’s extremist background https://www.rferl.org/a/navalny-failure-to-renounce-nationalist-past-support/31122014.html
It's the same dynamic when it comes to the adversaries of the empire. People who swear up and down that the government is corrupt and that the media lies about everything also believe everything the government and the media tell them about countries like China.
I love how utterly myopic libs are here. They're actively destroying trust in the political system in order to win the election. The whole system is fundamentally a social contract that requires majority of the population to believe that elections are fair in order to accept the results. Once you get to the point where people no longer believe that elections are fair then there's no reason to accept the party you don't support holding power. These people are actively helping create the conditions that will ultimately result in the unravelling of the entire political system.
it's different!
Can never be too safe.

If you genuinely think that Michael von der Schulenburg, who is the former UN Assistant Secretary-General, escaped East Germany in 1969, studied in Berlin, London and Paris and worked for over 34 years for the United Nations, and shortly the OSCE, in many countries in war or internal armed conflicts often involving fragile governments and armed non-state actors has nothing of interest to say on the subject then what else is there to say about you. 🤣
Wow, what an amazing counterpoint to a long and well reasoned argument you obviously read.
For sure, Russia is an important commodity exporter globally, but China is absolutely essential in terms of manufacturing. There's no replacement for China, and I completely agree that economic situation would deteriorate very rapidly if China was cut off. That said, US might see this as a positive because it will create cheap labor markets it can exploit.
