I just can't see why Putin would have him killed. It makes no sense to me, he was already in prison, why make him a martyr now, before elections? As an idea elections in Russia are this month.
We also know Tucker interviewed him shortly before Navalny died and we know that Navalny chose to be in Russia. Maybe CIA wanted to not allow people to process the interview and move to martyr Navalny. There are some spicy stuff in the interview like the US blowing Northstream pipeline and Nazis in Ukraine so who knows.
Every media and politician is 100% sure Putin killed him without even considering any alternative.
My take is that the CIA killed Navalny in order to start unrest before elections or to make sure normies keep funding Ukraine.
If that were the case, wouldn't Russia have cause to be completely transparent about the cause of death/circumstances around it?
Counterpoint: would Putin be so open about that level of vulnerability to the CIA
Fair point. My thinking is that exposing a foreign conspiracy to disrupt Russian affairs would serve them better than trying to save face for the death of a political rival.
I forget where I read it, but apparently Navalny was picked up for trying to coordinate a revolution with MI5/6.
