Russian chemical attack on UK

I would suggest sending over Phil Collins to do a Russian Tour - with compulsory Attendance for all Russian politically active membership. I'm sure that after that they may well leave the Novachok? Nerve agent alone because they would all be still in rehab....

Old UK frats here will probably remember the Georgi Markov case, where a Bulgarian dissident was stabbed in the leg with a poisoned umbrella, injecting a pellet containing ricin into him: he died shortly later. This was in 1978, nothing was done, the case remains unsolved. 

^This is not.

Was Alexander Litvinenko a false flag too? And I must say that Russia historically has always tried to hunt down their traitors , from Trotsky onto Penkovsky, Popov , Tolkachev, Varenik as well as most recently, a rash of Russian diplomats knocked off by the alleged mafia but who were known to be challenging Putin. Culturally, the Russian mindset is formatted by a loathing for treasonous countrymen. That is why Stalin ruled so effectively, with an iron fist that is beyond imagination. That is why Russia, free of the USSR, is veering fast towards regaining empirical power. Vlad even said so in his recent speech. Smert shpionam (SMERSH) was the first state-run hit squad! It was very effective. The current FSB and the vastly expanded GRU are dictating new methods for Putin to remain solidly entrenched in power. They are a serious bunch , who like Trump, dont give a hoot about consequences .

Excellent example. No one is claiming that false flags don't exist, only that in this case it's unlikely and that's the difference when people try to argue their paranoid agenda. And make no mistake about it, a big part of paranoia is the failure to reason rationally.

In other words the British are less obvious about killing spies than the Russians. 

^^^ There is a ongoing problem in the UK where young girls are groomed by gangs - usually comprised of Asian men (sorry, but that is the case) - and then plied with drugs and raped. It's not just Telford. It's numeous cities up and down the country but appears to be particulaly bad in the north. There is evidence that in the case of some city councils and social services, there has been a reluctance to act out of fear of upsetting 'community cohesion' instead, in the case of Rotheram, blaming the girls, suggesting they were essentially hookers.

Anyway, that's another thread, and one which would probably be shut down PDQ.

We may be a small country but we still have the ability to nuke some sense into any bigger adversary - think of us as an angry short ginger bloke with an AK47.......
