Current Affairs Critically ill man is former Russian spy

[davek]

Russia implies UK destroyed poisoned spy's pets to 'remove witnesses'

This is Keystone cops. The men and women in space suits were sent in to the Skripal's house to thoroughly search for evidence and didn't notice two Guinea pigs and a cat. The cat must have been so frightened that it never meowed and the Guinea pigs must have been given free reign to roam the house and no one noticed them. Incredible.

It's completely fantastical. The things we're supposed to believe about this case on the say so of organisations corrupt to the core is a joke.

It's all unravelling now though. Of course, you'll get the doubling down on their accusations by the government, and the BBC will try and extricate itself from the brown stuff it descended into to do the government's bidding, but the jigs up here. Another dodgy dossier moment that they needn't have committed. Their arrogance in believing the truth wouldn't tumble out speaks volumes at how thick they think we all are. It's a special type of stupid that makes Putin look good, but these clowns have managed it.

They need to GTF out of power and stop stinking the place out.

"The doctor, who asked not to be named, told the BBC she moved Ms Skripal into the recovery position and opened her airway, as others tended to her father.

She said she treated her for almost 30 minutes, saying there was no sign of any chemical agent on Ms Skripal's face or body.

The doctor said she had been worried she would be affected by the nerve agent, but added that she "feels fine".

Quick question: what does a chemical nerve agent look like? Is there a uniformed description for all agents? Is this information open for everyone?

Answers on a post-card please.

Seems thankfully they are both improving quickly.Some deadly nerve agent eh!

The "security" agencies didn't exactly contradict them. One hand washes the other.

I'm sure it's been said in the 52 pages but this is an obvious anti-Russia stitch-up. Even the UN are in on it.

The West are itching for active conflict...lots and lots of money to be made, powerful positions to be obtained...watch out for the incessant stream of news comment pieces from important-sounding thinktank pawns making the case for conflict with Emmanuel Goldstein.

So just to recap.

I love a good conspiracy theory but I very much doubt anyone is ‘itching’ for war with a nuclear power, you ballbag.

ok mate

Waiting for Putin and Assad to run out of people to kill. Is that our plan? The response to years of atrocities enacted by the Syrian leader and his allies has been shameful. We should reconsider the use of force on them.

"...when politicians say that there is no military solution in Syria, they are lying: there is a military solution and Assad, Khamenei and Putin are imposing it. The west can either try to stop them or wait until peace comes to Syria when Assad and Putin run out of people to kill. A military campaign would need to be coupled with a strong message to Russia to stay out of the way and a plan for moving towards peace..."


That is just one of hundreds of mainstream comment pieces and op-eds advocating showing Russia who's boss. Putin, the Kremlin, Russian journos & editors don't speak like that when commenting on issues with the West.

Who's itching for a fight, and why?

There’ll always be posturing and jingoism and to be honest, I’m not fully on board with the narrative of events that we’ve been presented with, but we’re not about to enter into full scale conflict with Russia. Jesus.

I said active conflict, not full-scale conflict. Like the Cold War, not like WW2.
