Current Affairs Critically ill man is former Russian spy

[davek]

They didn't let him go, they swapped him.

So they didn't think he was that important then.

 

[peteblue]

I reckon Skripal was still active and in the game working for his old mates in the FSB.

He was taken out by persons unknown and made to look like it was dem pesky Russians.

Question is who did it and why? Was it colonel mustard with a dagger in the kitchen?

One things for sure we couldn’t have done it as we’re not that devious.

Which leaves either the Israelis or the yanks. Both have the means and capabilities but still lacking a motive.

The game is afoot.

Was it Chelsea.......

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Was it Chelsea.......

Well it certainly wasn’t a kopite as they would dropped a paving slab on his noggin and claimed they were in bed at the time.

 

[tsubaki]

So they didn't think he was that important then.

He was important enough that him and three or four others were swapped for around a dozen of theirs.

Hardly a smoking gun on why he'd be targeted though is it?

No, but then it isn't really about him or what he did.

It is about Putin getting the West, its media and his own people to talk about how powerful he is rather than focusing on other issues - such as their economy, their strategic position, the blatant corruption or even the fact that the Yanks killed between 20 and 300 Russian citizens in that odd incident in Syria a month ago. Its also about Putin puffing up his chest against a state that is more than a thousand miles away, badly led and too busy with its own mess to do anything about it - (edit) and which he knows will do nothing when he does something like this.

Timing is all wrong. No way does Putin risk a World Cup couched in controversy.

This is just state sponsored paranoia delivered by the corrupt BBC.

When would be a better time to do this? He is in the middle of a sham election, we are weaker than we have been in living memory and there is a cretin on the other side of the Atlantic - nothing was put at risk, certainly not the World Cup.

Oh boy, the BBC have done a real number on people haven't they?

Mate, they're pissing down your leg and telling you it's raining. Those Oxbridge new cold war zealots are laughing at you.

What is the alternative? That a Government that couldn't govern its way out of a paper bag has done this as some kind of false flag operation in order to expose how utterly useless it is and how truly friendless we are, despite all their protestations to the contrary?

It's Britain's allotted role in NATO to use it's resources to wield soft power against Russia. They've been leading the fight in sports governing bodies for years. This is all WC related and the weaponisation of that event.

How do people fall for the tripe these clowns come up with?

Just ignore it, it's bollocks that will disappear off your radar in about 7 days, then it'll resurface sporadically until the tournament is over.

 

[degsy]

Putin (with smirk)..."First get to the bottom of it there, then we'll discuss it"
aka; Prove it and what are you going to do about it anyway

 

[hullefc]

Put yourselves in the position of those who live in Salisbury, put yourself in the minds of those parents with children possibly exposed to a nerve agent, now how funny is it........

And the advise a week later from the government, 'wash your possessions'. Hardly the response from people taking this seriously.

 

[hullefc]

Is there any chance he can stop off for a butty in Salisbury?

Not until he can get measured for one of those space suits that is all the rage in Salisbury. Then he can look in the two man tent that has been put around the 'crime scene'.

Washing is the easiest form of decontamination and until anyone knew that it was a nerve agent what would you have suggested.....
