Navalny sentenced to several years in prison, but my rage is not just for Putin's KGB dictatorship. Its nature was known. I want to hear now from Putin's appeasers, who knew exactly what he was and enabled him for years as he turned Russia into a police state.

Let's hear from the European Parliament, that just readmitted Russia, or the UN Human Rights Council, with Russia as a member. What does Obama say now about his "reset" after Putin invaded Georgia set the stage for Syria & Ukraine? Navalny's name should be ashes in their mouths.

As the "grave concerns" come in for Navalny from around the free world today, remember what they said after Politkovskaya, Georgia, Crimea, Nemtsov. Then what they actually did, engaging with Putin's dictatorship, doing business, finding "common ground".

It's hard to stand up to Putin, but it will only be harder tomorrow. The roadmap is clear. Sanction him and his cronies completely out of the free world. Stop funding his repression and his invasions and his murders. Support the rule of law and divest from dictatorship.
