Navalny is a bit like the idiot that blew himself up on the bridge on the Ukrainian side. Hillary Clinton would call him a useful idiot.
Navalny can bang on about Putin all he likes but what he underestimated is how bad Biden and co where. Sure you can whinge about Putin but be wary of the alternative and do not fall for the Hollywood tripe because it is that Hollywood tripe that got Navalny killed because he did not see the forest for the trees assumed the world was just about Putin ignoring the biggest issues further afield
If Navalny was more wary of the western elite he would have been more subtle and considered in his approach
