Russian chemical attack on UK

The answer is simply that no other assumption makes any sense. It also not coincidental how many anti-Putin politicians, activists, exiled spies, etc. have ended up murdered. And that specific sort of poison, the danger in handling it, and the expertise required in planting it? It's like Putin put up a billboard festooned with neon lights in Piccadilly. Makes you wonder why another method of attack wasn't used. As you say, handling the substane is precarious and dangerous, and a successful kill was also not guaranteed. Surely if the Kremlin wanted this man dead, he'd be dead. Of course, it may be that Putin actually wanted to be the main suspect, and wanted the world to take notice that he was serious about dealing with 'traitors' and didn't care about the consequences.

Poor little peace loving Russia, why would anyone have anything against a country with such good intentions towards its neighboring countries.
If you want to know the truth about Putin and the Russian government ask anyone who is from Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine etc. They do not have any delusions about this dictator.

" It is part of the modern Western mindset to view Russia as the victim now instead of the aggressor, just as Russia always wanted the West to do."

Are you out of your mind? This is how the diplomatic puppets of the US (almost all from Western countries) stupidly and so readily, despite lack of evidence, reacted to the UK's antics.

Read this article: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/03/27/here-are-all-the-countries-that-just-expelled-russian-diplomats/?utm_term=.87573fea890a

Quoting Affecting at least 151 people, it is the largest expulsion of Russian diplomats since the Cold War  — and virtually unprecedented in scale and scope. 

This very recent incident and the subsequent expulsions demonstrate clearly the West's (at least that of its corrupted diplomats) modern mindset towards Russia.

"They were smart enough"

They are smart enough to not give in to Theresa May's and Nikki Haley's petty finger-pointing

Proof that it really was the Russians who were behind the attack does actually not exist, and it is by no means the only plausible explanation (as is claimed by the British prime minister). We just watched a TV-documentation about it.

I for one couldn't be more glad that we have such an upstanding man as Mr. Putin to defend Europe against NATO and American imperialism.

To make myself clear, I don't believe that there is cut and dried proof of Russia's actions, only that general opinion seems to be that it would beyond Russia's need and ability to carry out an act that they have successfully done many times before with a more lethal outcome, as if Russia is some benign player in the world of political intrigue. There may be not a smoking gun this time around, but the Russians, like so many other world players including the Western countries, reek of exploded gunpowder.

I like neither Donald Trump nor Vladimir Putin nor Theresa May.

Once again, talk to the people who know him, the people in Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania, they know who Putin is and they know the ongoing history of the Russian government.
Likewise, condemning the Russian government is by no means giving a free pass to the transgressions of the US government, or anyone else.

The fact remains that there's still no proof, regardless of how many times the allegation is repeated. It seems that at this time not more is known than there was a month ago.

At this time I find that incredibly difficult to buy, in spite of what Boris Johnson tells me. Of course, I have the highest regard for Boris Johnson (and Theresa May), but I think they're so full of crap, they squeak when they walk.

If it was instigated by Russia, it was (for their finely honed bumping-off capabilities) an incredibly bungled effort. Both victims still alive and recovering? From a nerve gas attack in the heart of Europe by an adversarial power in peace time?

On the other hand, I've heard that Russia might have some adversaries here and there that could find it beneficial if Russia's and the western world's relations might run into even greater difficulties than they have done already.

But then again, I suppose that's just me being stupid and naive.
