If Sergei and Yulia Skripal survive being poisoned by Novichok nerve agent, they may be left suffering illnesses that ruin their lives – which may be the point of the attack, security experts have warned.
The case of a Russian military scientist accidentally exposed to Novichok appears to show that even surviving the effects of the supertoxic nerve agent is horrific.
Andrei Zheleznyakov was said to have been injected with an antidote almost immediately, but a friend said he still went from being a jovial, creative man to suffering “chronic weakness, toxic hepatitis, epilepsy, severe depression and an inability to concentrate”, before dying five years later.
Navalny:
All the below reasoning makes sense only if Russia’s involvement in the attempt at Skripal and his daughter will be proved. But let’s suppose it’s proven.
Then there are two options for the development of events.
1) According to Putin’s scenario.
2) And according to the script, which is unpleasant for Putin.
What would Putin want from the British authorities?
- ban on broadcasting RT
- non-arrival of representatives of the British authorities at the World Cup. The non-arrival of the national team is also okay
- the allocation of additional assistance to Ukraine
- the “alignment of the position with NATO”
and other nonsense that will not affect anything, but will give an opportunity to release three more seasons of the series “Look at how the West infringes and trebs Mother Russia. block, and yet we are taught democracy “
An unpleasant scenario for Putin is that the British will finally wrest from their country a dozen of our officials and oligarchs with their families and money. And here there are three key names: Abramovich, Usmanov, Shuvalov.
Plus they will really start using their wonderful The Bribery Act against our crooks (see the case of Deripaska and Prikhodko on a yacht).
The most interesting is that such a scenario will also be received in Russia with a cheer. Opposition with glee. Loyalists - with concealed gloating.
However, unfortunately, all our experience of monitoring such situations shows that Britain will follow the first path and do exactly what was planned by those who prepared this murder.
They will ban RT, and we will prohibit them in response to the BBC. Well, all that stuff.
The huge and corrupt lobby of British bankers and lawyers will not disturb the Russian oligarchs and officials who settled in London.
