Good. Some gopnik killing another is exactly the kind of bullshite I don’t want my country going to war over anymore, although I’m sure the left will be disappointed.

Looks like Obama was right about Russia after all. Except that he was completely fricking wrong and idiotic to say that.

Pretty hilarious that leftists actually believe conservatives care about Russia being punished

Not the first time Russia has killed a former spy in the UK.



I heard on some news show that the Russians are suspected to be involved in up to 14 deaths just in the UK. That's pushing Mossad levels of DGAF.

Skripal wasn’t a defector. He was arrested and imprisoned in Russia, then settled in the UK after he was exchanged for Russian spies in Western custody.


Fair correction. And all the more egregious on Russia's part to expose UK citizens to a wicked organophosphate when he'd already been fairly swapped.

Are there NATO implications here? The Russian state used a Russian WMD to attack NATO member citizens on NATO member soil.

Going by the Conventions its an act of war. Just freeze all Russian accounts in the UK and watch the roaches start to scurry.

I'm surprised this isn't getting more press. The British PM said they would consider it an unlawful aggression against U.K. Citizens by the Russian state, provided there was insufficient explanation by Russia.

An attack on one is an attack on all.

This event should be heavily leveraged to force Putin to reconsider before doing anything like this again.

Theresa May has MUCH bigger balls than Donald Trump! I'm happy to see that at least one Western leader is willing to stand up to Putin, rather than act like a lap dog.

There is no explanation. Chemical agents have fingerprints, once you have a valid sample it goes into the database and it tells you country of manufacture, lab and batch number. They know who made it, where and when.

It’s a sad day when the UK will stand up to Russia but the US won’t.


Trump ordered Russian facilities to be closed and signed new sanctions against them. He has even allowed US forces to engage Russian-backed forces in Syria. The "Trump is a Putin puppet" narrative makes for a nice liberal talking point to the uninformed, though.


quote:

The Trump administration has ordered three Russian diplomatic facilities in the United States closed following the expulsion of American diplomats from Russia, the State Department said Thursday.

Some White House aides appeared to support Russia’s desire to have sanctions lifted early in the administration, but Trump ended up signing legislation in July slapping new punitive sanctions on Russia over election meddling.

He signed the sanctions, but did he implement them?

When did the bill he signed say the sanctions were to begin?

It's Kabuki outrage.
You don't understand outrage over a murder in the UK by a state actor that injured other citizens? Seems like Kabuki ignorance.

Fair question

When did the Trump-right turn toward Putin and start apologizing for the Russian police state?
