You have a problem with that?

These people (Russians, Iranians, Chinese, etc.) are going to eat our lunch.

Bad actors have infiltrated ALL positions in DC -— APPARATCHIKS in the “Federal Service” and the “Press”

Easy to do when no fear of CONSEQUENCES.

Working every day to promote DECAY at all levels of American society and military.

The Atlantic and Pacific will NOT save us when they pull the trigger.

Putin keeps DOMESTIC ENEMIES in line in Russia, no matter where they are.

This may be the start of a similar policy here.

I think they’ve done that before. Probably they’ll expel the ambassador.

I’d be accused of being a Putinista if I said I believed the Russians over Theresa May, wouldn’t I?

Fact is you can’t have an honest investigation unless they are involved and confronted with evidence, not just accusations

Monitored yes- -but involved

:-)

And yet UK’s huge pedophile ring with many of the children killed has been exposed. How about giving UK and ultimatum regarding its abuse, sometimes with fatal consequences, of its children.

“BYW this is the same UK lab that assured us the Syrian govt used “sarin” against civilians in 2013-whne we all saw pictures of the White Helmets walking around in sandals”

Did not know that.
And I’m kinda mad at the USMC. All that time training in a M-17 mask, in a charcoal suit, etc. And all along, all I needed was a bandana like the white helmets.

“Fact is you can’t have an honest investigation unless they are involved and confronted with evidence, not just accusations”

And I think it’s pretty obvious why that won’t happen.

The UK has criminalized conservative speech. F them.

The UK has no military to speak of. Where’s the beef?

Don't forget the HMS Victory. It carries 104 cannon, and is probably the most powerful surface ship currently in the Royal Navy.

I am sure Putin kept Kremlin hands clean and used expatriate Russian double agents living in the U.K. and them employing third parties to actually execute the deed and leaving no direct trail to any individuals. The classified Kremlin answer to 10 Downing street will be that mobsters can get the stuff and the poisoning was likely a “mob hit”. Unofficially that will be said with tongue and cheek as the “mob” was Russian mobsters paid by Russia.

Two totalitarian countries. Who to side with? Putin has been a better enemy to Trump than May has been an ally. And her Parliament has been especially rude, so I say screw you UK. Your on your own.

Damn right. At least Putin doesn’t haul private citizens to jail for condemning Islam.

Except we know the UK interfered in the US via Steele. Still nothing on Putin.

I hate Putin, but I would sit down for lunch with him if it was choice between him and America hating May.

At this point there is arguably less freedom in the UK than Russia - so if Russia gave the UK a bloody nose to put them in their place, I wouldn’t be all that bothered.

Putin says it’s a Jewish conspiracy to blame Russia.

Huge blowback on that from the Western press. I'm thinking maybe it was the translator. Putin also mentioned dual passport holders or dual citizens and could have been referring to Israel which has accepted a lot of Russian immigrants, not so much US Israeli making aliyah to Israel; they seem to like it too well here.

Putin governed at one time jointly with Medvedev who is Jewish. And many oligarchs he didn't imprison are Jewish. Also I'm guessing many of the Israeli military are Jewish Russian immigrants who are required to serve.

Or he could have been referring to dual Israeli citizens in the US. Somebody else suggested the Hillary-Steele angle.

Finally I'm not too sure how much control Russia has over their chemical stockpiles (and the ease of manufacturing them from easily-available materials as suggested by another poster). I'm thinking of the suitcase nukes although the situation was a little different then. And we don't seem to worry about the missing nukes any more and assume they haven't been maintained. Anything is possible.

It seems like a rogue state or individual would be a little harder to pin it on. I don't know what the two women used to assasinate Kim Jong Un's was it half-brother at the airport Jakarta. BBC says it was a VX nerve agents. Sounds like exactly the same stuff or same class. I would doubt Russia would give NK nerve agents, but you never know.

Finally the devious business of plausible deniability or degrees of separation.

Read it. Sorry no proof of connection to Steele, and from a source I never heard of before. The article says there is no proof, and Steele (predictably) denies it. Color me very skeptical.

If we get the signed contract where Steele paid him to do it, we’ll let you know. This was the “Russian connection” that gave him the dossier.
