There is currently a lot of very uninformed speculation about the death of Alexi Navalny.

This is because Ukrainian Chief of Intelligence Budanov said that he believes that he died of a blood clot.

Many people are wrongly claiming that this is a natural cause of death, and would somehow absolve Putin if true.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

In this context, blood clot means pulmonary embolism. An otherwise -healthy middle-aged man is extremely unlikely to randomly develop a pulmonary embolism.

So why would Navalny develop a blood clot?

Torture.

Trauma and prolonged immobilization produce blood clots. It is very common for trauma victims of all sorts to get pulmonary embolisms.

If Navalny died of a pulmonary embolism, that was a result of torture. He was tortured to death by Putin's thugs.

General Budanov was not exonerating Putin, he was explaining a likely mechanism by which torture killed Navalny.

Send ATACMS. Send HIMARS shells. Send more weapons and supplies of every kind! Pass more Ukrainian aid in Congress.

And pray that whatever General Budanov has planned for the Kerch bridge is carried out successfully very soon.
