Maybe the Brits are trying to distract us from that Fake Dossier MI6 came up with. Wag The Dog baby.

We have no quarrel with Russia!

The eighth paragraph of The Hill propaganda tips the Globalist hand, it's about which banks the money is routed through and natural resources. The Globalists want control and Putin won't let them loot Russia. To wit:

"Germany can support all of the foregoing, but it should take a particularly significant step by cancelling the planned Nordstream 2 gas pipeline between Russia and Germany. There are already many reasons for that pipeline not to be built, including the fact that it will increase the dependence of Europe on Russian gas (contrary to the EU’s own energy policy) and exacerbate the vulnerability of eastern NATO and EU members, as well as Ukraine, to Russian gas manipulation. The oft-heard response from some in Germany is that Nordstream 2 is just a commercial activity. This is debatable. But in any event, now is not the time for commercial “business as usual” with a Russia that has consistently violated international norms."

"...Russian money laundering and other financial flows should be subject to greater scrutiny and limitations."

The Russians put Geeks from various countries on their payrolls and they give them bonuses for their work if it proves valuable. Essentially the Russians use free lancers with no accountability to be incurred.

True, the Russians learned how from watching the CIA and NSA, and lately the FBI and MI6's Christopher Steele.

*** Shouldn’t we 100% verify that it was the Russians who did this? Starting a way over this is serious business. ***

The Syrian Army, in their ongoing liberation of East Ghouta, discovered a chemical weapons factory. There were 24 tons of chlorine, and other chemicals, plus delivery systems for the chemical weapons.

Yet my government continues w/ Assad Chemical Weapons, We will bomb Damascus in retaliation for poor East Ghouta where the UK/US financed rebels have bombed Damascus for years.

They US/UK financed “moderate” rebels have tried to stop citizens from escaping Ghouta by killing them, or if caught killing or imprisoning in.

Why would I believe anything about Putin offing a contributor to the Steele Dossier?. If it is coming out of Nikki Haley’s or Heather Nauert’s mouth, it is probably a lie. To see Our President getting onboard the Propaganda Pulpit grieves me bigly.

“The London nerve agent attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter has been specifically ascribed to Russia by the United Kingdom prime minister, fully supported by the White House and American officials including at the United Nations.”

Forgive me, but where’s the evidence? Theresa May says she is in possession of it, but refuses to release it. Why?

Sorry, but we lobed 59 Tomahawks in Syria for alleged syrin gas attack by Assad, only to hear months later high government officials admit they really don’t know who was responsible.

Even if it is true, does that justify putting millions in danger of nuclear war?

“Its okay for the govt. of England to allow Muslim to operate in their country raping and prostituting young girls (thousands) but by God attack a Russian spy then all hell is supposed to break loose.”

Very, very good point.

The “assassination “attempts in Engad are so obviously am attempt by the deep state to frame Putin.

They also smack of old-school KGB tactics. My money's on Putin.

BTW, where’s our resident NeoCon/Troskyite FReepers, beating the drum for a war with Russia and calling everyone who doesn’t subscribe to the National Review party line “Putinistas”

So everyone who disagree's with you is a NeoCon/Trotskyite beating the drums for war with Russia?

Wow. That's not narrow-minded at all!!

Where's the evidence that a nuclear war is at risk of being started here? Methinks the above statement is a bit of an over-reaction.

Why jam a knife in someone’s buttock when you can use a nerve agent.
