Exclusive: Mike Pottage asks, ‘Is the Biden administration any better than the Putin administration?’
By Mike Pottage
The headline read “Putin critic Alexei Navalny dead at 47, Russian officials say,” and the story quotes U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken as saying the death of a Russian prisoner demonstrates Russia is rotten to its core.
That was not very diplomatic of the American secretary of state.
The Marxists in American government differ little from the Marxists in the Russian government.
Blinken put it this way: Navalny’s “death in a Russian prison and the fixation and fear of one man only underscores the weakness and rot at the heart of the system that Putin has built.”
This from a man who attacks Israel and uses Ukraine to carry out a war against Russia. His message today. Russia is bad. His message tomorrow. Donald J. Trump is a Russian agent.
Blinken was not finished. He went on to declare, “Russia is responsible for this. We’ll be talking to other countries concerned about Alexei Navalyn, especially if these reports bear out to be true.” Shudder, shudder! Note Blinken first declares as fact Russia is responsible and ends it with the acknowledgment that he does not know what the hell he is talking about.
Who cares if Blinken talks to other countries about dead prisoner Alexie Navalny? Is Blinken going to recommend going to war over the death of someone in a Russian prison. If so, what about Epstein? The arrogance of American foreign policy is astounding.
Has Blinken expressed any concern for the Jan. 6 prisoners icarcerated for unspecific misdemeanor offenses in 2021? And, is the U.S. going to try and dictate to the system of justice used in all nations? Is it our business, and should we be preaching to others while our cities burn, our prisons are being emptied, and criminals are handed, essentially, parking tickets for violent acts?
Apparently, Biden directly challenged Putin over the fate of Navalyn in 2021 and threatened “consequences” if anything happened to the man. The Russians might want to pick up on the Democratic Party’s perpetual allegations that the size of the black population in America’s prisons is not the result of criminal conduct, but is to be blamed upon a racist justice system.
The news story informs us this Russian was sentenced to 19 years in prison on “extremism” charges. Now that sounds very familiar. That is the favorite word applied to anyone who is not a Democrat.
A favorite smear of the Democratic Party is to attack Republicans as “right-wing extremists.” Hillary Clinton cannot get through an interview or a public speech without issuing some warning about “extremist elements” threatening America.
