Trump’s defeat in the race for the second term as US President has brought American foreign policy back on apparently already known tracks. If, on the one hand, The Donald was the first American president in 30 years to not start a war, on the other hand Joe Biden was in that same administration whose President Obama, useless Nobel Peace Prize winner, did not hesitate to destroy Gaddafi’s Libya under a hurricane of bombs. Plunging Syria into the abyss of a proxy war that has lasted for nine very long years. Exporting democracy in Ukraine by fomenting a Nazi coup d’état that triggered in a defensive key the Russian annexation of Crimea and the secession of the Russian-speaking regions of Donbass.
Alexey Navalny, who returned from his "healing" voyage to Germany, was escorted to the pre-trial detention center right from the plane. However, he is not facing charges on the counts that he would like to.
Despite all the anti-Russian rhetoric and insults against the Russian president, which Navalny was happy to produce in interviews to the Western press, he will be held accountable before the Russian law for criminal, rather than political cases.
Does it mean that Navalny is useless as a candidate for political leadership?
Daria Mitina, a Pravda.Ru observer, believes that the game, which Navalny is playing, has taken a different turn.
