Russian media speculates that Skripal’s daughter was engaged with a guy (limey) who had a relative working at UK chemical facility located a few miles from the site they were found poisoned.
Another weak point in May’s charges is they still failed to provide a sample as required by law so the whole story is still nothing but rhetoric on their part so far.
Even if their allegations on an agent used are true it seems like their capability to identify such things are out of this world. Just like it was the case with Litvinenko. Both Polonium and this stuff aren’t the things cops and coroners has tools to identify that easily. Unless they have (had) some sort of inside information on what to look for.
Good question.
I don’t believe it, myself.
Assassins generally don’t leave their calling cards at a crime scene so the Miami CSI team can conveniently wrap up their investigation within an hour.
Also, the majority of Russia’s foreign assets are located in the UK (London) so any predictable sanctions would end up harming Russia more than anyone else.
I just don’t believe the Russians sacrificed tens of billions in assets just so they could kill some guy who really isn’t that important anymore.
To me this looks more like someone was trying extra hard to frame Russia so the predetermined outcome of increased sanctions could be applied.
