Russian authorities have denied all involvement in the poisoning, either suggesting Navalny had fallen ill for other reasons or suggesting others had carried out a poisoning. — Guardian, 9/15/20

Everyone saying “Russia poisoned Navalny.” But there’s plenty ways he could have gotten sick. Maybe he caught cold in Siberia — even in summer have brisk winds up there.

Or there’s a little something called coronavirus, ever hear of that? He could catch that anywhere, maybe got it in Tomsk where he went for his silly political antics. Not much coronavirus in Russia but you never know.

Navalny travel a lot, which not recommended, and he meet a lot of people for his campaigning against leader of the country, also not recommended — that’s joke. He free to do anything! What we see is he get very sick from being political rabble-rouser. Draw your own conclusions.

Let’s remember, there are toxins everywhere. Airplanes do chemical treatment for seat covers, can be toxic — Navalny could have licked seat covers on plane, what do we know? This man do a lot of stupid things. Maybe he bought bad lipstick for his wife, the kind from China that got lead in it, and forgot not to eat it while waiting for his peanuts from airline. He is not extremely bright, this we know.

They say they found novichok in his system and novichok also found in poisoned spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Lydia. So?? Situation totally different — Skripals living quietly in Salisbury as traitors. Maybe something bad was due to happen them? Or maybe they get sick from toxic air from Salisbury cathedral — can happen. Or caught bad flu that day, common in England where weather very unpredictable.

In some ways Navalny does seem like he got poisoned but how many enemies this man have? Mind reels. So many people could poison this man. International figure, kind of annoying personality, what gonna happen? Setup for plenty unfortunate events.

They say a lot of Russian opposition leaders get poisoned. And?? Nothing significant there. You lead campaign against leader of our country and you think you totally safe? That’s just stupid. Try living in real world for ten minutes.

Navalny didn’t get fatal dose of poison, but he better be careful from now on. For reasons anyone needs be careful, of course. Coming up colds and flu season.
