Putin has no credibility.

Why would he kill a traitor on foreign soil, knowing all the repercussions that would ensue if it could be traced back to Russia?

And even if true, all this faux outrage about wet work is hypocrisy. All countries’ intelligence services do it from time to time.

and Skripal, a former Russian intel officer, betrayed Russian spies to MI6.

Any detective worth his salt would look into the family of these intel officers as well as other officers that were linked to them.

Toss in the fact that this was done just three weeks prior to the Russian election.

I think some Russian billionaire dissent guy with an agenda got this idea months ago and made the hit on the guy. They’ve yet to get absolutely precise on where the application was applied on the guy and his daughter...which is a bit puzzling. There’s some reside at the pub where they were, but the cops act like that it was applied before they arrived there.

“Putin has no credibility.”

Do US and British Intelligence have any remaining?

I have long asserted that one of the great tragedies of the Western World, and severe National Security issues of our time, is the fact our intelligence agencies have squandered all their credibility playing politics.

We’re now in a world of he said, he said.

C’mon, Pat, and stop pulling your punches. You know full well that this hit was ordered by the Rothschilds. Why are you so reluctant to tell us?

Of course Putin did not. He’s not retarded. Why would he in the runup to the election order a hit on a now-worthless agent using a nerve gas that is specific to the Russians and at the same time poisoning the well for future agent exchanges as Buchanan points out? It’s absurd.

Is it not the coalition -- principally in our own capital city -- that bears an endemic hostility to Russia and envisions America's future role as a continuance of its Cold War role of containing and corralling Russia until we can achieve regime change in Moscow?

What should Trump's posture be? Stand by our British ally but insist privately on a full investigation and convincing proof before taking any irreversible action.

Was this act really ordered by Putin and the Kremlin, who have not only denied it but condemned it?

Or was it the work of rogue agents who desired the consequences that they knew the murder of Skripal would produce -- a deeper and more permanent split between Russia and the West?

I agree with Pat but don't put all the blame on us...MI6 has been in bed with our guys for decades and they're every bit as nasty. After all it did happen in the UK. My money's on MI6 with complicit approvel of our own Deep State traitors.

Any leader worth his salt would order the deaths of any of his intelligence officers who betrayed colleagues to a foreign intelligence service be it ally or enemy.

If Putin wanted him dead, he had years of opportunity while he was in Russia to have seen this happen.

And yes, I completely agree with your statement. Traitors deserve nothing less than public execution. We have several in Federal prison that deserve this.

Probably way more than several and scads more running free and some even holding public office.

Under the front of the automobile? If in the passenger cabin would have been sufficiently concentrated? Thirty-eight others affected in the incident—by proximity?
