Spy poisoning: Putin most likely behind attack - Johnson

Russian President Vladimir Putin is "overwhelmingly likely" to have ordered the nerve agent attack on an ex-spy and his daughter, Boris Johnson has said.

The foreign secretary said "our quarrel is with Putin's Kremlin, and with his decision" over the Salisbury incident.

Russia denies involvement and said the accusations against Mr Putin were "shocking and unforgivable".

Meanwhile, the head of Nato told the BBC that Russia has underestimated the "resolve and unity" of the UK's allies.

Speaking during a visit to a west London military museum with the Polish foreign minister, Mr Johnson said the UK's "quarrel is with Putin's Kremlin".

"We think it overwhelmingly likely that it was his decision to direct the use of a nerve agent on the streets of the UK, on the streets of Europe, for the first time since the Second World War," he said.

Calm down. No, I don’t know anything about you.

99% of the people on these boards who give Putin the benefit of the doubt have never lived in Russia nor experienced the State's behavior firsthand. Nor do they understand what is behind the complicated attitudes of Russian people in the post-Soviet era..

[GoldenState_Rose]

Well if you have lived there, you’ll have some sense of why it’s frustrating to witness all this pro-Putin nonsense on a message board called “Free Republic” - two things of which his society are most certainly NOT. And it’s getting old!

You claim everyone blames Putin simply for being some embodiment of anti-Leftism — but in actuality, you’re still acting as if Obama is still president! As if disillusionment with Obama gives you guys license to just bash Western Civilization over the head. So now even Trump is a globalist Soros neocon for sanctioning Russia?

[hawkaw]

I can’t believe how many people are taking Putin’s side in this thread and on this db. Even the Trump administration realizes what is going on and is issuing more sanctions. This is just crazy.

[apocalypto]

What's wrong with you? You need to calm down. I have not said all those things you claim I said. My point is that I don't know if Putin is guilty or not. And yes, there is all kinds of nonsense accusing Trump and Russian collusion, but Hillary is not even mentioned.

From your comments it is easy to suspect that you are pushing some kind of agenda.

[GoldenState_Rose]

Yes I do have an agenda. I want Putin’s State to fall and if you’re a true Christian, you would pray the same.

[mac_truck]

You're alluding to my experiences of having lived in Russia as being fake news?

Yes, and you're as fake as the Russian "news" you post.

[McGruff]

Where’s the evidence? This happened a while ago and all I hear is suspicion and likely. GB has all these cameras everywhere and yet we haven’t seen one video or still shot of this incident. Should prompt you to ask why.

Praise be to the Lord my Rock,

Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me
from the mighty waters, from the hands of foreigners
whose mouths are full of lies, whose right hands are deceitful.

Amen.

- Psalm 144: 1, 7-8

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Knowing Putin’s background while a KGB agent; this is not surprising. He was demonically cruel.

[PhiloBedo]

How is it that the British can piece together the link between the poisoned, Russian ex-spy, and our best and brightest can’t figure out who really killed Seth Rich?

[Socon-Econ]

What everyone needs is an evidence based arrest, not baldfaced pronouncements of what is likely.

FOX NEWS and RT are the best sources for truth.

[elhombrelibre]

Putin networks tell the truth. Putin requires it.

[TChad]

This smells like a Frame Up.

Yes. Why use an esoteric poison that could be traced directly to Russia?

[trebb]

Yep - but try to tell that to those who bitched that Nikki Haley was jumping the shark by accusing Russia.....

[apocalypto]

Exactly. Makes no sense. Reminds me of the fake dossier and of Bush screaming "Weapon of mass destruction!". And we have a nitwit like Nikki Haley, who after her previous lies lacks credibility (remember her insistent promises re the flag) comes out with these statements, right or wrong, before there is evidence.

Sad to have this distrust. But just look what has transpired within our IRS (Lois Lerner still walks free, got also a pension) and the FBI.
