No expert, but isnāt it unbelievably convenient for the west, for this to happen now? Almost a gift from the gods(you wonāt get the Republican vote without God. Itās still a crusade for them).
Itās just another part of the game that is pipeline politics. Itās always about energy/resources. Always has been, always will.
A US Army document concedes the real interests driving US military strategy toward Russia: dominating oil pipeline routes, accessing the vast natural resources of Central Asia, and enforcing the expansion of American capitalism worldwide.
From down here, the MOST ludicrous unexpected result of all this has been FB friends Iāve not seen for years popping up from around the world asking if my family are OKā¦
Jeez, where were they back in the late 60ās and 70ās when Salisbury was just about 1st on any āFirst Strikeā list because of the importance of Porton & Boscombe not to mention all the military bases just north of the City.
Whereās Ed Snowden and his crew when we need them eh?
Some news filtering through from the Telegraph. Apparently, the couple were poisoned in their own flat, as was the police officer, who visited the property. All three were poisoned, so no nerve gas walk-by attack.
It certainly doesnāt make much sense as a Russian op. What do they get from all of this? Apparently, people involved in spy swaps are nigh on touchable, lest the whole system collapses. His daughter had a visa and visited every month.
The incident happened on a Sunday. This is a former spy living under an assumed name living in Britain. The media was _very _quick onto this one, and before we know who was involved one way or the other, weāre talking about Prince William swerving the opening of Russia 2018.
It makes more sense as a British op, tbh, especially given our recent and quite inexplicable sabre-rattling with Russia.
Canāt see it making any sense as a British op either. Nothing to be gained.
Now an FA plot to prevent England getting humiliated in the World Cup, that could make sense. Do you think Greg Clarke would know where to get hold of some nerve agent?
You may be right. But then, it may have provided a very handy smokescreen for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, dude with a lot of blood on his hands.
To my mind, and itās not just this, thereās a lot of shit chatted about Russia on very flimsy or non-existent evidence. Every time that bollocks is in the news something else isnāt.
I think the idea that a nerve agent has been used in an attempt to murder two people, simply to divert attention from the visit of the Saudi head honcho (which was widely covered anyway, from what I could see) is, to put it very mildly, far fetched.
