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.

    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?

          Manson manipulated people into doing his bidding to foment the larger race war “Helter Skelter”, Bibi requires no such manipulation and, in fact, is working in direct opposition to US interests.

            That in reply to your claim that Biden is not participating in the genocide. All of these actions are in direct interest of us interests, if they were not, Biden has the power to stop it. The exact same way that Reagan did in the exact same way that Thatcher did in 1982. In fact, Biden providing funding and weapons for a nuclear capable nation to commit genocide is a violation of the Symington Amendment.
