I think Navalny is crazy to go back to Russia.

Bravery and craziness are often dancing partners.

Meaning NS posted the same link as you in which his prison sentence was reported and he thinks you're just repeating him. Except you're not. He just posted a link without bothering to say what was in it.

I generally trust people can read links.

Whoops, I didn't see it. Mind you, it would be better if you explained the links because some of yours are hard to download.

Amnesty withdraw 'prisoner of conscience' status from Navalny because of xenophobic comments. Seems the wrong thing to do to me.

Any sympathy I had for Navalny has gone. >:( He was an idiot to go back to Russia, he should have known he would be arrested.

I agree that he probably knew what he was getting into. I'd say he was standing up for his principles. I know I probably wouldn't have done the same.
