Ex-Russian spy, his daughter and a policeman critically ill in hospital.

Finger is pointing at the Russians.

If it is the Russians, after the Litvinenko murder with radioactive polonium, why are they choosing these James Bond style methods - surely if they want to get rid of someone they could use far less “exotic” methods?

Unless that’s the point - trying to send a message?

Unless it wasn't Russia... Putin is capable of it but he isn't a reckless moron. He has no motive. He has an election coming up in a couple of weeks and the World Cup in a few months. He knows the mass hysteria it would cause. His enemies have all the motives.

He invaded Ukraine and seized their territory killing someone is nothing compared to that.

Putin seriously has no concern about losing his next election, as Russian elections under him are a sham. So, he has zero fear of killing a dissident agent making him look bad at home.

Russia has a long history of poisoning people, especially in the UK. Was commonplace in Europe during the cold war.



Georgi Markov (Ricin poisoning), Aleksander Litvinenko (Pollonium). UK even pointed out Russia implicitly for Litvinenko resulting in a diplomatic crisis).

In Russia, high ranking military people, opponents of Putin and political activists regularly dissapear under "strange circumstances". To deny the contrary would be idiotic, something only a communist or a fox news viewer would believe. Russia is a dictatorship wearing an obvious fake mustache trying to pass as a democracy, and since the KGB midget took power it resorted back to it's earlier cold war practices.

Putin needs to be dealt with. Same goes with any loyalists, regardless of where they are on the planet, including 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. I hope Robert Muller drag that fat narcissistic putin lover and his criminal minions out of the whitehouse into a jail cell.

There's no hard evidence that was Russia either.

No, Crimea used to be part of Russia. There's a lot of Russian speaking people there and the Ukrainian government was trying to remove the Russian language in schools. They had a referendum and voted to rejoin Russia.

If New Mexico decided to return to Mexico, that hardly means the US is going to respect that choice, regardless if the people there voted for it. I won't hold Ukraine to any different standards.

I Get the feeling you are just one of those Anti Western people who get their news from RT. They didn't have a Referendum to join Russia, Russia invaded and then they had a referendum which by no means is legal, voting under duress is not legitimate.

Obvious Russian troll is obvious. Do not feed him.

RT == same disinformation campaign by far right extremists as Fox "news".

I wouldn't Fox News far right, they have some idiots on there such as Bill O'Reilly but isn't really far right. Tucker Carlson is awesome though.
