On June 16, 2021, Joe Biden threatened devastating consequences for Russia (and its president Vladimir Putin) if Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny were to die in prison. “I made it clear to him that I believe the consequences of that would be devastating for Russia,” he pledged.
On February 16, 2024, Nalvany died unexpectedly in an Arctic prison.
On Friday, Biden announced those “devastating consequences.”
Biden said in a statement that his administration was imposing more than 500 sanctions against Russia connected to its continuing war against Ukraine and Navalny’s death.
Today, I am announcing more than 500 new sanctions against Russia for its ongoing war of conquest on Ukraine and for the death of Aleksey Navalny, who was a courageous anti-corruption activist and Putin’s fiercest opposition leader.
With all the faux bravado he could muster, Biden… made a fool out…
