On Friday, February 16, Russian anti-corruption activist Alexei Navalny tragically passed away.

He died while held on a multi-decade prison sentence in Arctic Circle. Around the world, Navalny's lockup has been widely condemned as unjust and politically motivated, due to him openly speaking out against corruption in Russia and opposing the Putin regime.

The official story is that Navaln passed from sudden death syndrome after suffering a blood clot. Though given Putin's track record with his political rivals, numerous world leaders - along with other officials and citizens - believe the Russian dictator masterminded Navalny's death.

Unsurprisingly, the Russian government pointedly denies these allegations.

Since Friday, the world has rallied around Navalny, praising his courageous fight for freedom. Former President Trump, however, referenced the anti-corruption activist's death as parallel to the "radical left" bringing about destruction in the United States before signing off with "MAGA 2024" on Truth Social.

Former UN ambassador and 2024 presidential candidate Nikki Haley is now responding to Trump's latest remarks about Alexei Navalny.

Haley warns Trump can't handle Putin

Earlier today, the 2024 hopeful spoke to Fox & Friends about her views on Rusia and where they differ from Trump's. To this end, Haley warned the former president is "weak in the knees" and unable to call out Putin for having Navalny executed.

After declaring the Russian president has a proven track record of murdering his political challengers, Haley also told Fox & Friends that Trump is directing more attention to his court cases than to US national security.

The former UN ambassador then called out Russia's government for zeroing in on the Baltics. Seeing as all three countries here are part of the North Atlantic Alliance, Putin would essentially be drawing the United States into a war if he invaded Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia.

While citing the need to steer clear of wars, Haley underscored the relevance of "protecting Americans," warning this can't happen if Trump's "personal grievances" are front and center.

Hours ago, Haley denounced the former president for his "rants" on social media. Instead of advocating for meaningful reforms, such as using assets captured from Russia to assist Ukraine, Haley noted, Trump's greatest focus remains on his own issues.
