U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley tells a Security Council meeting that "the U.S. believes Russia is responsible for the attack on two people in the United Kingdom using a military grade nerve agent." She also urges Russia to account for its actions.

It’s CZAR. But Putin would not do this because he never does bad things and he says he is a Christian.
Russia hasn't taken the bait in Ukraine or Syria and now we get this total BS with Niki Haley putting a cherry on top by yammering at the UN that Russia could use chemical weapons in NYC and might because they're evil barbarians.
The Deep State here and in London are damn sure convinced they can somehow force Putin to kiss their butts and let them go back to pillaging Russia, a POV there's no evidence to support.
And meanwhile, back at the ranch, China just bought into the Russian oil business and along with the rest of Asia is ready, willing, and able to take all the gas that now flows to Europe.
I get the feeling that this isn't going to work out the way the dumb flock neocon crowd thinks it will unless the real goal is to topple May, not beat up still more on Russia. Maybe beating up still more on Russia is just a fringe benefit in the eyes of the people pulling the strings.
With Niki the nitwit throwing her 2 cents worth of hyperbole in the Russians and Chinese both will be a lot less likely to put much faith in anything Trump says from now on.
Many pesticides are nerve agents so this is what civilian grade means. Novichok nerve agent can leave the area contaminated for many years. Western countries never developed anything like that because they didn’t feel the need to have something with more devastating effects than the nukes.
This is complete nonsense, but it fits right in with the rest of the neo-liberal propaganda.
Why is it nonsense? Can it leave an area contaminated if it is not properly cleaned up?
Who the hell knows, since the British aren't making any chemical samples available to the international organization of chemical weapons experts, as per the Convention on Chemical Weapons to which both Britain and Russia are signatories.
Meanwhile Britain has advised anyone in the area of the Skripals that day to 'wash their clothes' as a precaution. Does that sound like the advice you'd give to someone if the chemical contamination remains present for many years?
No one is going to bother wasting time with impotent international organizations, who’re just going to be ignored anyway. Britain is going to show their intelligence to the USA and France, but advocating anything else is advocating doing nothing.
We already know how that story ends don't we?
I tend to buy the British account in this issue and I am glad the Trump administration supports the British in this issue.
The British account is falling apart as we speak...so good luck with that.
USA, UK, France and Germany made a joint statement saying Russia is behind it. You’re just dismissing it and you would dismiss it just as easily if some limp dicked UN organization would add itself to this list.
The UK trying to drag us into yet another one of their wars.
I completely disagree with you. And I am glad that Trump adminstration took more action today. This type of stuff that the Russians are engaging in is extremely dangerous.
It’s interesting watching this db ever since Putin invaded the Ukraine and how certain posters seem to back Putin no matter what.
I agree with the Trump administration in that if the Russians would just stop this nonsense, the USA could care less how the government is run in Russia.
I think that washing the clothes would work about as well as getting under your desk in a nuke attack!
Nikki Haley is that crazy woman who blamed a battle flag for the Church murders and trashed our history. In her response to Obama’s State of Union, she criticized Trump not Obama. There is more in her background, such as skipping her state while Gov. during the floods.
Well, you're without a scintilla of factual evidence in that regard.
Meanwhile the British government struggles to hold together its fictional narrative of Russian state involvement, while ignoring their obligations under international agreements.
As the French government spokesman said yesterday its 'fantasy politics'.
I don’t know what specific plane you’re talking about, but several planes have been used in several chlorine attacks on Syrian civilians.
Sorry for the truth
Whatever. At least the Trump administration and the key European leaders are ignoring thoughts like yours and are taking proper steps against Russia.
