A shame Austin has to waste time talking to amateurs like Shoigu.
I’d like to think the conversation was “get rid of Putler, then we’ll talk.”

Even Navalny refuses to consider returning Crimea to Ukraine, on the justification that it's not "a ham sandwich or something that you can take and give back". The longer russian troops occupy Ukrainian territory, the more open he'll be to applying that logic to Donbas et al. The people thought of as the "good" russians to take charge are still fascists bent on taking over Ukraine, they're just willing to do it slower.

Yep. He also shares the current government stance of "Russia should have a say in the domestic affairs of former soviet states".
His anti war in Ukraine stance is less supporting Ukranian sovereignty, and more of an anti putin stance.
He is also anti corruption... which, dont get me wrong, would be great for the country and it's citizens... but imagine if all the money meant for the military was never stolen... everything maintained, better equipment.. hell even just having basic uniforms that they currently lack.

Navalnyy is a pro-West Russian imperialist, if that makes sense. He fully supported the 2008 intervention in Georgia, called the Georgians rodents and was dissapointed that the Russians didn't commit to invading the entirety of Georgia

Who the fuck takes somebody’s ham sandwich away from them and then returns sometime later and gives it back
