I wrote this in my topic, but here too I will repeat

---

On the eve of the assassination attempt on the traitor, a brooding FSB officer stood in front of a table of boards on a secret appearance in Salisbury. On the table were laid out:

- potassium cyanide
- strychnine
- British spy poison from the number of seized earlier
- hatchet from the nearest wood-burning barn
- a black market gun in the East End, missing from the radar ten years ago
- homemade bomb
- bayonet knife
- Banana

- and, finally, a unique nerve agent, developed in the USSR in the 1980s.

"Well, of course!" — slapped an officer on his forehead. "Only with the help of a unique Soviet toxic agent can I cover up the tracks leading to Russia!" Then he grabbed a tube of poison, straightened his hat with a star on his head and went out into the morning Salisbury, mixing with the crowd.

 

Any serious reaction would target finances of the oligarchs and co. The Tories should perhaps start by returning the Russian donations. That'll teach em! 'You can't buy us that easily' they'd crow...

 

Ah you see....so it was your lot after all!! ......bloody hell and here I was thinking it was the housekeeper...

 

Russia has long noticed that once a Western politician becomes "former", he immediately begins to hate Russia much less and becomes much more objective

So I would recommend that Western readers who seek the truth listen more to those who have already left politics, but still well understand the causes, consequences and logic of actions.

 

Yes, but don't forget - nerve agents can kill flies too?

 

"We agree with the government’s action in relation to Russian diplomats, but measures to tackle the oligarchs and their loot would have a far greater impact on Russia’s elite than limited tit-for-tat expulsions. We are willing to back further sanctions as and when the investigation into the Salisbury attack produces results".

A proper comment!

 

I care and I don't.
Why not...
IDK, go after Putin like we did Saddam?

Putin says, without Russia, there is no more world.

Well, that and the Salisbury attack with a nerve agent and the up coming farce of a democracy...
Hmmmm...

Take control of The Kremlin who's just another rogue state, coordinate Syria.

 

Sure in the past, Russia has avoided the French and the Germans, and, have 'a lot of bombs'........
and by bombs, I mean the mean ones, and they also have, chemical weaponry.

But they're not immune from being toppled, no matter what history from Napoleon or Hitler and a stand off with America when it was the USSR has taught The Kremlin.

I say, before they use their thermonuclears, before they diploy more nerve agents, regime change time?

 

Oooo, its like Churchill never went away!

 

Of course it could really be any security/intelligence service, either belonging to the UK or Russia, or the possibility even exists it could be some other country.

The unique choice of murder tool seems designed to either intentionally try to implicate Russia, or perhaps as a means to show Russia as the responsible party, to scare other would-be spies, while still maintaining plausible deniability in international relations.

 

Departure of Russian diplomats from London.

 

This is the joke though: May demands Putin should 'put up or shut up'. Fair enough, but Putin has no idea who actually did the deed, so he just makes his denial because that's all he can do. But owing to his negativity, May pontificates that his defensiveness proves he's guilty. I mean, how the **** does that work? May has made the accusation, so it's up to her to prove it, not for Putin to prove he didn't do it.

 

I love the Brits religiously keeping to a very particular vocab: "a nerve agent of a type developed by Russia". That tells you that our scientists foot stamped and refused to play political ball.

 

RE: Thread Title; UK to expel 23 Russian diplomats - Russia met that and ended a British programme that'll effect Russians wanting to learn about the UK and have closed down a British consulate in St Petersberg.

 

Until Russian dosh is targetted, its pin money kack!

 

It's a Putin putting his foot in to the UK with his double agent enemy getting and the use of a Russian nerve agent in Salisbury.

 

You don't know that. You're just reacting to the corrupted information that we've been provided. But if you did care about it you'd support Labour policy over tightening up dirty dosh

I don't read the Express, given its propaganda isn't even well written. Please present a sensible source.

 

Vladimir Putin has tried, of course, to assassinate a former spy and his daughter, in the UK.

The proper response to this, I think, would be for Britons to entirely boycott Russian oil--even if that would mean paying a few cents more at the pump.

There is yet another interesting suggestion that I have heard--and it is not an "either/or" sort of thing; I would favor both--and that is to freeze all of Putin's assets (which, reportedly, are not in his own name, but in the names of his oligarchs). In other words, hit him in the wallet--and very hard!

 

Where's the proof? Why is the British government deliberately using the vocab "nerve agent of a type developed by Russia"?

No it isn't. If it really is Russian oligarch orientated, the response is for the City of London to hit their dirty money.

Which the Tories so far have stopped. Let's not forget they have received millions from Russian funding. Its required as their members are dying too rapidly from old age and boredom.

 

If it's blind faith in what the Tories say you fear then fear not; but if you blindly question everything the Tories say, then you're closed minded.

For you see, just because you distrust the Tories doesn't make them liars, but you the fool who distrusts them because they're Tories.
