Russian opposition leader ill after exposure to 'undefined chemical'

Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has been hospitalised, with symptoms that one of his doctors said appeared to be “the result of harmful effects of undefined chemical substances”.

Navalny was taken to hospital on Sunday morning from jail, where he was serving a 30-day sentence after being arrested last week for calling people to attend an anti-government protest.

An ophthalmologist, who treated Navalny after he was doused with green dye by pro-Kremlin activists in 2017 in an attack that left him temporarily blind in one eye, Vasilieva said it was clear Navalny was not suffering from an allergy but from exposure to toxic substances. She said his symptoms included swelling, a rash and itching.

“We cannot exclude toxic damage to the skin by chemicals induced by a ‘third person’,” she wrote. She called on the hospital administration to immediately allow proper medical care for Navalny. The hospital has not yet made an official statement.

1. Pootie showing tRump how it's done.

2. Well, to be perfectly honest, the thought occurred to me

while watching Mueller’s testimony that he seemed ill compared to how he seemed in his short public statement about the report in May. My thought was: is he ill or has been poisoned?

I’ve never mentioned it until now because it seemed “conspiracy controversy”ish at the time, even though I thought it.

I don’t trust anything anymore ... and it’s getting worse.

There is definitely reason to be alarmed — whether by Putin or tRump. Coats’ resignation news today is not just another log on the alarm fire. It’s a real fire alarm!
