— Kremlin denial over attack on Navalny is yet another example of ‘vranyo’, a statement that is shamelessly untrue
Another critic of Vladimir Putin is struck down, and the official response from Moscow is familiar, routine, ritualised.
Claims that the anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny was poisoned are “mere conjecture”, says the Kremlin, adding, with smirking insincerity: “Naturally, we wish him the speediest possible recovery, just like any other citizen of our country”.
Tass, the official news agency, meanwhile launches an alternative theory: that Navalny poisoned himself, possibly while drunk. An unnamed law enforcement source is quoted as saying police “did not exclude that he drank or took something himself”. A doctor said: “No poisons have been detected”. Navalny’s family insist they are being lied to.
The untranslatable Russian word for this is “vranyo”, meaning a statement that is obviously untrue but which…..

The Biden cartoon has nothing to do with the article and was uploaded by mistake. I deleted it but it’s still up there for some reason; possibly because I am in a weak internet area at present.
The article is behind a paywall unfortunately. No cartoon is showing in the article, just text and the link to the Times.
Good. Glad the cartoon disappeared. Yes, the Times is always fiercely protected behind a paywall, but the gist of the article is clear!
Biden cartoon is still there. The same you already posted few days back. Shall i replace it?
Maybe with one of your big juggz pics?!
Joking! Yes of course Mike.
That would be quite off topic.
When i click ‘edit’ the cartoon is not there. Yet when i click the article it still is. Strange.
Regardless if Navaly survives or dies, in the end, mafia land will remain “innocent” and the West will do business with it as usual. And, it matters not that even the dumbest and drunkest and the highest of people can perceive that there simply cannot be another interpretation than mafia land being the culprit in this matter when seeing that a whole line of other dead and injured anti-Kremlin people preceded Navalny. No, the jellyfish will see it differently.
Then, the next victim can be killed in comfort, and the next, and so on and so forth.
It’s so tragic having such nematodes as political figures these days.
