Do note that MI6 and the FBI and the CIA also have the ability to make said poison. Do note that the UK as well as the US Deep State are having some credibility problems right now due to their treason. What better way to regain the public's trust than to blame it on the Russians again???Mark Matisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-46816603371166052172018-07-30T22:35:55.298-04:002018-07-30T22:35:55.298-04:001) The police officer did not die.

Russia does not mess around when it comes to eliminating its enemies and has a long and successful history in achieving its aims.</i> <br /><br />What if the Russians aim is twofold: 1 - make people suffer and 2 - let other double agents who might have worked against Russia know that they might be getting visited, too? <br /><br />It's almost irrelevant if the poison doesn't kill them. If they're hospitalized and it makes the news, other agents hear about it and they've achieved their goals. <br /><br />If the agent breaks down over time, as one of the sources claims, that would agree with your #2. One of the articles said it was unlikely to be poison from the March incident because it would have been stored improperly too long and break down. <br /><br />Maybe it's not their "most recent and most lethal" agent. Maybe it's just one intended for intimidation. <br /><br />Just food for thought. I don't really know what to make of this weird story. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-91818340982239290652018-07-30T17:43:12.005-04:002018-07-30T17:43:12.005-04:00A number of points:

Dermal contact with such nerve agents would be lethal in a very short time so "splashing the agent on his hands and then washing it off" would be fatal. Similarly, the other three people allegedly being poisoned by the nerve agent (the Skiprals and the police officer) did not die.<br /><br />3) The two mentioned are drug addicts and "known to the Police". I would suspect that they have been affected by a bad batch of methamphetamine or similar.<br /><br />4) If Russia wanted the Skiprals dead, they would be dead. Russia does not mess around when it comes to eliminating its enemies and has a long and successful history in achieving its aims.<br /><br />5) There is speculation that it is Novichok, but no independent source has confirmed this<br /><br />Whatever is happening, I very much doubt that the Russians are leaving batches of their most recent and most lethal nerve agent lying around. But that's me being cynical, eh?<br /><br />Phil BAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-62308023815947743372018-07-30T09:39:36.381-04:002018-07-30T09:39:36.381-04:00Yeah, I worded that badly.

Should been something like "seems more like something a random psycho would do, not a Russian agent". <br /><br />Another factor is that the Brits are saying this stuff isn't stable, particularly in humidity, so it's not likely to have been sitting around since March. <br /><br />Wherever the perfume box came from, it was probably recent. Kinda gives new meaning to the term "dead drop". <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-21857337417499024312018-07-30T09:31:01.299-04:002018-07-30T09:31:01.299-04:00Random psycho with Russian nerve agent?

He probably came across a dead drop and accidentally intercepted a delivery. Or the Russians are trying to divert blame by muddying the waters? That doesn't make much sense, either, as they've never been too concerned about whether deaths of 'traitors' were blamed on them so long as the actual assassins weren't caught.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296988746956477216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-73001276124564412742018-07-29T21:45:48.301-04:002018-07-29T21:45:48.301-04:00I wonder what brand of perfume is was labeled as.....I wonder what brand of perfume is was labeled as....drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.com
