Assertions are not evidence of a crime

In Foster's piece, he mentions the “news” that Alexei Navalny was ended by the Russians using Dart Frog toxin. The REAL news was that was an assertion ‘constructed’ by the British, and presented at the Munich Security Conference, with four other NATO nations standing with the British at the presser. Not a scrap of evidence to back the assertion was provided - NONE - and no questions were entertained. Not long after Navalny expired, then Ukraine intel chief (and now Zelensky’s Chief of Staff) Budanov stated; “I don’t like to disappoint, but Navalny died of natural causes due to a blood clot”. If Foster had done some basic scouting around, he would have found Navalny had been on the CIA payroll from well before the Maidan coup in 2014. And, he wasn’t a dissident, he was a rabid nationalist who had previously described Ukrainians as “cockroaches”, worthy only of being wiped out. Just another useful idiot – to the Russophobic West.
