WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Donald Trump, who drew criticism as U.S. president for his praise of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, made his first public comment on the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Monday in a social media post that cast no blame. "The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country," Trump wrote, appearing to link the death to his own political troubles. It was not clear what similarities Trump was trying to draw with Russia's most prominent opposition leader.

          Removed for misinformation. Liberals do not support Nazis and Biden is not engaging in a genocide in Gaza.

            They are eulogizing a dead Nazi because he opposed Putin, Biden is funding and providing weapons to commit genocide, and his own UN representatives has veto a ceasefire resolution. That’s engaging on genocide

              Oh boy… Navalny, despite being a right wing asshole, was not a Nazi.

              Biden supporting Israel is immaterial to the ongoing genocide because Israel has all the weapons and funding they need, they aren’t using OUR weapons to kill people in Gaza.

              Biden is supporting Israel because he wants the Israel PAC fundraising dollars.

                supporting Israel for the money is probably the worst reason, besides just being a Zionist, which he claimed to be. it’s bad all around, and inexcusable.

                  Oh, it’s definitely inexecusable, but it’s not the same as him personally committing genocide, which he is not.

                    the nazi battlefield nurses weren’t personally committing genocide. I don’t see any reason to split hairs about their culpability though.

                    Charles Manson never actually committed any of the Manson family murders, should he have been free?

                he was an unapologetic nationalist who characterized foreigners as vermin. he was also seeking power in the oligarchy of Russia so… he shouldn’t get the benefit of the doubt on this one.

                they aren’t using OUR weapons to kill people in Gaza.

                Then when would Biden bypass congress 3 times now to provide additional weapons to Israel if NONE of our weapons are being used in Gaza? Just because a drunk former SoH said so doesn’t make it truth.

                was not a Nazi

                So what is the correct word for a white nationalist wanting Arabs exterminated like roaches and flies, and wanted Russia for Russians only, xenophobic? If he were a US politician he would be among the likes of MTG and trump. And liberals certainly wouldn’t be mourning his death.

                  Again, he wants the fat, fat campaign donations from pro Israel interests. Especially in an election year.

                  “One of, if not the most, powerful international issue lobby is that of the pro-Israel crowd. Well-financed and politically powerful, the pro-Israel lobby is a major force on American foreign affairs that looks to continue America’s military and fiscal support of the Jewish nation-state.”

                  There is no equivalent on the Palestinian side.

                    So we are supposed to believe that Israel is using none of the millions of dollars in weapons given to him free of charge to kill Palestinians? And the white phosphorus, that’s only manufactured in Arkansas, used against Palestinians is not from the US?
