Make no mistake, Putin is responsible for Navalny's death

Why is this a news?

It's news because the President of the United States is saying it out loud. World leaders don't get to speak like you and I, diplomacy is a thing, words have strong and definite meanings on the geopolitical stage. Here Biden said, "fuck Putin", loud and clear.
