This guy is explicitly saying it since he knows he will show up dead. Really amazing convictions.

Some men and women have more guts than I will ever have. If I was in his shoes I would never have returned to Russia.

Oh that’s sweet. Putin is concerned about the opposition catching Covid! What a guy!

Sergei Magnitsky is another Russian hero.

Basically, they killed him by not giving him medical attention.

It's almost absurdly hilarious that he details each of the common ways Putin tends to get rid of problems. No, I won't hang myself on the window grill. No, I don't walk carelessly down stairs. No, I won't have a sudden heart attack for no reason. Yes, I do expect the guards carefully monitoring me as a high profile prisoner would rapidly come to my aid in an emergency. Of course, Putin will still find a way to either get rid of him, or just keep him in prison indefinitely. It's already so obvious he did nothing wrong and yet remains in prison. And other world leaders are too scared to push the issue.

A rebuttal might be to blame navalny and say he said that and then committed suicide to make Putin look even worse. Close friends and family wouldn’t believe it, but enough of the general pop might.

Putin: Plans change

We likely won't even find out if he dies, or he will just be kept in prison for indefinitely...

So in 3-6 months we'll hear about Navalny dying from fever/prison riot I guess...

Well he could definitely catch drug-resistant TB but apparently AIDS is the number 3 killer of Russian inmates. Those are some things that you could get sick from just by being there with no intervention.

3-6 months is generous.

Or he’ll die and it’ll never be known by the public cuz Russia doesn’t want a martyr situation.

I don’t think they would announce his death to be honest. It would make him a martyr and given the state of things and how suspicious the circumstances around his case are and the political turmoil it would likely lead to civil unrest.

I don’t think we will ever hear much about him again, aside from his sentence being extended due to bad behaviour.
