What commenters say

  • The US is unlikely to take significant action in response to Navalny's death, despite previous promises of consequences.
  • Russia's actions, including Navalny's death, warrant stronger international condemnation and action, such as increased sanctions and support for Ukraine.
  • Military intervention against Russia is not a viable or desirable option due to the risk of nuclear escalation.
  • The international community should take a tougher stance against Russia, including providing more support to Ukraine and imposing stricter sanctions.
  • Some argue that the US and other countries are already doing enough to support Ukraine and pressure Russia, and that further action could be counterproductive.
  • Others believe that more needs to be done to hold Russia accountable for its actions, including Navalny's death, and to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.
  • The effectiveness of sanctions and other measures in influencing Russia's behavior is a subject of debate.
  • The risk of nuclear war is a significant concern that should inform the international community's response to Russia's actions.
