I find it mildly amusing how Navalnaya has reacted to Assad's "resignation". Her message to her English-speaking audience is like a party toast. For all the good against all the bad. Cheers-cheers.

Her message to her Russian audience written in Russian is somewhat different
🧵

It's like she is trying to appeal to her compatriots' sore spots. By sore spots I mean greed. Putin stole from them and so on.

I don't think Russians are that dumb. They know Putin stole from them. Do they suspect Putin pays them money he stole to go kill Ukrainians? Some do.

Whenever Navalnaya or someone from her circle says something, I get the impression they live in the time capsule. They are completely divorced from reality.

Here I attach the original in Russian if you speak the language that is currently killing my native language.

All her actions and messages are driven by electoral logic. Meaning, she is acting as if the elections are just around the corner and she needs to work with voters.

Real elections? In Russia?

See, that's why I think they are in the time capsule. In a parallel reality.

Someone inside this clique once joked that Russian "opposition" needs to raise money and buy themselves an island. On this island they would create Beautiful Russia.

Well.

I see two scenarios for such an island:
1. "Hunger games"
2. Beautiful Russia decides to expand ™

You are welcome to come up with your own scenario as well.
