> No, they magically commit suicide, get killed in a car crash, or get murdered in a botched robbery. In the west, name one.

Google is your friend. Many US politicians (a surprising number really) have been killed. Of course, most have 'explanations' that are officially accidents. The government isn't going to admit to political assassinations, so for you to ask for 'proof' is an impossible task. Then again, there's 'explanations' for most deaths in Russia too. The real question is whether you believe that the US government only tells the truth and only the Russian one lies. Of course, we know the US government lies about a lot, that's how we know about CIA actions to overthrow governments, the Iran-Contra affair, etc... We know the US government engages in assassinations abroad, whether it's a covert action or via drone. To think that none of the politicians who are killed in plane crashes, gym accidents, car accidents or have heart attacks were expedited along is naïve.

  > so for you to ask for 'proof' is an impossible task lol you are a excellent troll. "My unverifiable claims are just as true as yours are." No, there is a Russian opposition leader in a coma right now and you can't point to a single western journalist or politician suffering the same fate. > We know the US government engages in assassinations abroad, whether it's a covert action or via drone. Whataboutism, changing the subject, etc. I hope you are entertaining yourself b/c there is no other value to this thread.

I mean, they call Navalny an opposition 'leader' even though he's never led a political party or held office, so odds are it's some random protester or blogger.
