Putin justifies imprisoning Navalny by demonizing the Black Lives Matter movement

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday mentioned both the Black Lives Matter movement and the January 6 Capitol insurrection as justification for the imprisonment of Alexei Navalny and the Kremlin's remarkable crackdown on dissent.

Putin was asked by ABC News reporter Rachel Scott why so many of his opponents end up dead or in prison. "What are you so afraid of?" she asked.

The longtime Russian leader and former KGB officer bristled at the question initially.

Putin, appearing solo before President Joe Biden spoke to the press, lumped the Black Lives Matter movement in with looting and violence that broke out at some protests in the US last summer.

3. At the end of the day he knows the truth

He is a scared little bully--not a strongman. He fears the people of Russia, the truth, dissent, and certainly--democracy.
