Fierce Kremlin critic and opposition leader Alexei Navalny is in a coma as doctors fight for his life after he was poisoned Thursday morning, his spokesperson said.

The 44-year-old foe of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin felt unwell on a flight back to Moscow from Tomsk, a city in Siberia, Kira Yarmysh said on Twitter.

“The plane made an emergency landing in Omsk. Alexei has a toxic poisoning,” Yarmysh tweeted.

Navalny is said to be unconscious and was placed on a ventilator in an intensive care unit.

Yarmysh did not say who she believed may have poisoned Navalny, but said police had been called to the hospital.

The politician is in a grave but stable condition, hospital representative Anatoly Kalinichenko, deputy chief physician at the Omsk Emergency Hospital No. 1., said in a video shared by Yarmysh on Twitter.

This is so fucked. But not really surprising.

What I want to know is why they would call Russian police to resolve this. The only resolution I see coming from that is the one that absolutely makes sure the poisoning does it's job.

That was my first thought too. Then again, I figured they have evidence a crime was committed so S.O.P. is to call the police.

So you are essentially saying Putin is dumb.

So you are essentially saying Putin is dumb.

He might be dumb if there were any chance that he would face any kind of justice whatsoever for having his opposition assassinated, but that would not even happen if Putin personally shot him in the head on live TV, so probably not dumb.

"The politician is in a grave but stable condition" What the heck does that mean?

Dumb? Just because we know he did it doesn't mean he's going to suffer in any way.

Vlad the Poisoner is back

He just couldn't stay away. Navalny is no threat to him, but he has faith that killing high profile opponents will stop people from protesting his increasingly failed regime. Somehow, the technique has yet to work, but it is eventually bound to improve his sagging popularity with the public.

Putin critic Navalny fights for life, aides suspect poisoning

Almost like a black person calling the police in the US. Why call when they're the ones you want protection from

Dumb? Just because we know he did it doesn't mean he's going to suffer in any way.

So, you DO think he is dumb.

No, I still don't think you get it. We all understand what he means, so why don't you seem to? Am I going to have to spell this out for you? That doesn't make you look very good, especially for such a simple concept:

Putin has enemies.
Putin kills enemies in a way that is plausibly deniable with only the barest fig leaf.
He says "oh, such a *tragedy*"
Everyone knows, nobody can do anything.

This, together, makes a clear and powerful message: "get in his way and Putin will kill you, with no consequences."

As an autocratic dictator, that's a powerful position to be in. It is a really "smart", unethical move.

We all know and acknowledge that fact. But you can't seem to understand it?

How do you reach that conclusion?

He would be dumb if this harmed him. It won't harm him.

Oh, I completely understand it. I understand that you would totally buy into this retarded theory.

Won't harm him? then why all these US sanctions, what are they for? what's the point?

We should take your observation as seriously as your demonstrated expertise in retarded theories.

Okay, so you do get they do not think he is stupid. They think he murders some of his political opponents, but that is not stupid because the strategy works for him, and it predictably does so.

Would the sanctions hurt him more if he murders Navalny than they would if he does not?
