Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman argued that former President Trump’s recent comments about NATO are likely a “contributing factor” in the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

“Donald Trump invited Vladimir Putin to attack NATO. I would say that that probably was a contributing factor in the calculus around the assassination of Navalny,” Vindman told MSNBC’s Michael Steele Friday.

Vindman’s comments come just a week after Navalny died in prison. The Biden administration has blamed Russia’s government for the death, but Russia has said he died of natural causes.

    Attacking NATO = killing a Russian politician?

    You people are so stupid.

    Americans don’t give a shit about this person.

      You’d have to be a republican-style moron not to see that putin is probing Western unity and resolve.

      Huh, figures. Check out this guy’s comment history. I pinned the tail on the dumbass.

      “I’m possibly the next president and think you’re dreamy, Vlad” absolutely emboldens him and killing Navalny sends the message that he heard him loud and clear.

      The US government, and much less the country at large, is not a monolith with one single “giving a shit” or not. But yes, in addition to a segment which doesn’t give a shit, there’s another segment that does, up to and including doing what we can geopolitically to give them consequences for it.

      I was going to comment about how stupid you sound here, but your recent comment about stoping the houthis by nuking their coast is magnitudes more stupid than this.

      I think it’s safe to say that no one gives a fuck what unintelligent diarrhea comes out of your keyboard.
