'When Alexei Navalny boarded a plane to Moscow on January 17, he turned his life into a metaphor,' writes The Atlantic's Anne Applebaum about the Russian opposition leader. Applebaum joins Morning Joe to discuss.

How Navalny Shows Russians And The World There's A Different Way Of Living | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Lucky Trump lost his Twitter account. I can only imagine what he would have written.
Trump would say , “Putin did a tremendous thing, he knows it, everyone knows it. No one knows it more than I do. Navalny tried signaling to Putin that he knew it, effectively making him a semaphore. The Democrats stole the election.”…Or something like that. Not being allowed to tweet doesn’t mean he can’t still embarrass us.
Mario Stinger – Perpetual Traveller I voted for Trump twice. I only listened to a couple of his speeches, a few of his press conferences,
and NEVER wasted my time on twitter, I have never wondered what he would have written. LOL
@Ann Marie Kirkhus Too many big words for Trump. He only knows 4 three syllable words. Btw, want to have a laugh at Trumps expense? search for “The hole 285” on youtube…
He say poor Putin! Leave him alone, he’s a good guy!
@Alex Hamilton you a well-educated voter aren’t ya.
He is the meaning of a Hero
@omi god – with Navalnys idea of Russian etho nationalism…what do you believe he will do to the minority in Russia? Is that something you’d support long term?
@Uncomfortable Truth – obviously Youtube doesn’t want me to quote Navalny and what he called Muslims. Anyway, look up drone footage of Muslims worshipping Eid in Moscow. If he gets in power, you’d condone what he does to them especially when he’s never renounced those statements?
@R Torres Not at all. I don’t support his positions – I oppose silencing him or poisoning him. Freedom of thought – even if it’s a terrible thought – should be something we value.
@omi god – I think he has a right to human rights in prison. Just like Nazis here do. But to say he’s a hero or awesome figure head is what I am arguing against. Weird how you’re arguing against me instead of agreeing with me and trying to gaslight me by implying ‘he ain’t that bad’. Um…yes he is.
As the U.S. is supporting the separatist traitor Navalnii who goes against his Russian Gov and against his own country, then he SAME way the U.S. has to support the separatists In Donbass who are going against the dictator Zalenskii. because Zelenskii is Killing the Russian-Ukrainian speakers in Donbass.. .Donbass has more courage because they are not taking the U.S dollars as Navalnii takes for his fake “courage which paid by U.S dollars. Freedom to DONBASS, freedom from Dictator Killer Zalenskii !!!!! Donbass people are inspiration for all Good brave people on the Earth!!! Ukrainian dictator Zelenskii is the KILLER , using the U.S weapons and Killing own people in Donbass because they want to speak different language than him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don’t underestimate papaw Joe, he’s a nice guy but he’s not afraid to tear our enemies a new one if he has to.😁
@Brett Nine I no longer have to judge character now that all the really awful people are wearing muzzles…😷😷😷
pro trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I’ve been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Lincoln Ransford yup, have been watching on flixzone for since november myself =)
@Black Lies Matter I have no idea what that means.
@Uncomfortable Truth But they are too busy shouting BLM ALM LGBQ LM, my dogs life matter to notice both Dems and rebs are playing them.
I am turly humbled beyond imagination
Russia must be proud to have a courageous hero like Alexei Navalny in their midst standing up to Putin.
America had to live in shame for 4 years with Trump constantly bending over for Putin.
@RogerWilco The US is also lucky that we are a constitutional republic, and not a dictatorship. There is no means by which Trump could have assumed dictatorial power. The Capitol riot was not an effective insurrection – the people of America were repulsed by it. We know better.
@RogerWilco we are lucky he is incompetent and there is enough opposition to trump to prevent that from happening
BooRock OMamba
you do know that millions have died in Russia/former Soviet Union for the fight of freedom? Go ask Obama and Biden how it
felt when Putin popped their cherry.
I’m proud we elected Trump and triggered the Global Communists…🇨🇳🦠😷

And further it shows there is No room in America for what the Republican party stands for
@John Nemesh Bannon and Cambridge Analytica
Wise words indeed Grasshopper however how is one party system working for Russia, China, Cuba, and Venezuela. Tell Hong Kong about Communist China taking over, banning books, severely damaged Democracy and Capitalism that made that society great. You can keep your Cancel Culture and Identity politics away from our Freedoms!
@Sc Sm You need to stop believing everything your talking unicorn tells you. You really should get back on your medication if you want the voices to stop. You need to realize that talking unicorns are not real. Everyone knows unicorns don’t talk, they text. And the dufus parade called, and they miss you ever so much. They are lost without their leader.
@Lord Vader The Leftie
Sadly, as I trust you are well aware, P.T. Barnum was right.
@Lord Vader The Leftie I don’t believe that many voted trump. I believe they rigged it and still lost.
Hey GOP you listening it’s called COURAGE something your party needs desperately.
Tim Outlaw
so how many Democrats are going to prison and on a hunger strike for their cause?
@Alex Hamilton Don’t you have anything positive to say?? Thus a narrow , fearful mind.

You are a good human being Navalny. After almost getting killed you wanted to go back to your country to try and change it.
Any human being should be proud if him.
Anything happens to you and I hope the world becomes outraged♡
WATCH NAVALNY PEOPLE. WATCH NAVALNY.
🌍🌎🌏🌎🌍🌏🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏🌏🌎🌍🌎🌏🌎🌍
Amen! I pray that Navalny lives to tell the tale and take down Putin!
An admirable man who has endured so much so his countrymen don’t always live in fear. Watching from 🇨🇦
Navalny is a stooge
@Randall Henderson his willingness to sacrifice his own life for change and for U.S. Dollars is the only way for Americans to do to come forward and create change for all !!! What a stupid one Navalnii, sacrificing his life for American dollars. .
☝️pro putin bots
Dang! Bravery! Dude been poisoned jailed, and then some. True love for his country✌👌
I’m glad Alexi decided to eat his dinner
he too, it shows that he’s smart and intends to persevere. 🙂
God bless and keep this hero. ❤💪

It’s a very different world, now that Putin’s best friend is gone from the White House.
Annes initial description of Putin and his way of dealing with his critics to stay in power, reminds me of 45. No wonder T looked up to him so. I was afraid, and still am, that the hunger strike was actually a convenient Putin excuse to get Navalny out of the picture permanently. Imagine if T would have had that power. Jan 6 was merely a hint of the direction 45 was headed in.
Thank God 45 did not get re-elected. If he was, he would have overridden the Constitution and been President for life.
Trump is a narcissist. He detests weakness and admires power. On meeting Kim Jung Un Trump said, “and then we fell in love.” He has praised Vladimir Putin numerous times. On Tayyip Erdogan, responsible for Armenian Genocide, Trump called him “a friend.” Trump applauds the autocratic power these men have. He will do *anything* to achieve it for himself, including duping Americans into believing in a fixed election.

Just like “I alone can do it” the same words Trump/Putin……..
Americans,knows A 🥜 Case,🏌️ That Tried That HERE- in AMERICA 🤥
Biden once called Putin a killer. He’s not afraid of our rivals. Go Joe you tell’em whos boss!! LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣
Liren Hernandez

Biden just read that from a card he kept in his pocket. He’s got one with the pres of China that has “friend” written in crayon beneath the photo.
@c s I’m a Democrat, but with Biden’s age I can see the humor in your post😂
Sc Sm yawn. You just copy and paste the same reply over and over. Stupid pro putin bot.
What Navelny is doing is beyond bravery! Putin didn’t expect him to comeback, but he did holding up a big mirror!
His hunger strike is the only way he can keep them from poisoning him. But I have no doubt that they are poisoning him with radiation or biological aerosol.
Yeah…Did you also believe last week’s headlines where Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine? How did that story pan out?
I’ve been praying for Navalny for years. He is an amazing human being.
A few years ago I was in Russia during the time of “Deataunt”. It was “OK”, yet when we walked around there was nobody in the city. The towns far out were a little more friendly. The neet thing is that a few of the people that wanted to practice their English wanted to spend time talking with me. Please note that at that time there was no Putin.
Everyone of those estates was built on the blood and souls of honest regular people.
