Well, Navalny was a threat to Putin. If we're saying that being a threat to Putin means you want to destabalize Russia, I agree. That just goes to show, then, that Putin is so firmly cemented in power, his rule is synonymous with the Russian government as a whole.
If you don't like Biden or what he's doing, I get it. I disagree with you on a lot, but there are some points we've agreed on in the past.
What I reject is the idea that the "deep state," Biden, or whoever is doing anything comparible to how Putin and United Russia have entirely eroded democracy and the rule of law in Russia.
No one's pushing Mike Johnson out of a window because he doesn't want to pass what Biden wants in a budget. No one's prosecuting you for criticizing Biden or the war in Ukraine. Thankfully, Joe Biden can't snap his fingers and get what he wants passed. Joe Biden isn't the American government. Vladimir Putin quite literally is the Russian government.
Biden has just as much a right to say, Donald Trump's a threat to the stability of America, as Putin did with Nalvany to Russia. By your own logic, what's wrong with Biden having Trump eliminated other than you disagreeing with him? You rail against the "deep state" for doing far less than what Putin has done to Russia, but when Putin does it, it all makes sense. You want to know what the "deep state"/one party state running things actually looks like? Look at United Russia. You're more sympathetic to a Russian autocrat than the President of the United States. The cynicism only runs one way with you.
"Maybe we need to deal with some of those players like Russia dealt with Navalny." An open desire for fascism and a Donald Trump-led autocracy. Just come out and admit it
