I hate that we have a "president" who looks the other way at horrors like this so he can remain best buddies with a killer like Putin.

I am glad Navalny is out of Russia, and hope he can recover in Germany.

Who knows what happened during the delay in the Russian doctors agreeing to transfer him out to Germany?

Nothing good, most likely.

Plane carrying Kremlin critic Navalny lands in Berlin - flight tracking data

FRANKFURT, Aug 22 (Reuters) - An ambulance aircraft carrying gravely ill Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny landed at Berlin’s Tegel airport on Saturday morning, according to flight tracking data.

German doctors had flown on Friday to the Siberian city of Omsk to evacuate Navalny, a long-time opponent of President Vladimir Putin, at the request of his wife and allies who said that the hospital treating him was badly equipped. (Reporting by Christoph Steitz Editing by Frances Kerry)

Stalin used an ice pick-wielding psychopath to get rid of his main political opponent. Trump’s buddy uses poisoners like the Florentine De Medicis.
