Gee. I can’t imagine what/who would do such a thing to stir up the emotions against Russia! Why it COULDN’T be the same crowd that developed the dossier? That had a drink with somebody in London? That sold uranium to Russia? That has a world-wide foundation?
Maybe the Brits could hire Crowdstrike to see if it’s Russian.
I wonder if this was done by the “deep state” or representatives of “The new world order” for the purpose of “setting up” Putin to take the fall. I’m thinking that if Putin would have done something like this, he would not have used a method that would point almost uniquely back at him.
The Russians can determine where it came from. They kept meticulous records on every batch they made, and where it was stored. Many batches were stored in old Soviet Bloc countries.
Each batch differs slightly, and has a different signature.
This is all open source info on the web...
Did Britain provide Russia a sample, as requested? And, as dictated by the Chemical Weapons Treaty?
Nerve agent?
Nothing.
The Russians aren’t expecting a Western apology to be forthcoming if there’s no evidence they were behind the Skripal poisoning.
Russophobia is the West’s problem to deal with and the truth is the West wants to contain Russia. Crimea, Ukraine and Skripal are simply political pretexts.
Fortunately Russian society is united while the West suffers from deep divisions and Russia can and will break out from Western encirclement.
Nothing.

Whoever wants war between NATO and Russia is behind this. Central Banks, Arms Merchants and Manufacturers.... takes yer pick. We have nothing to gain by all this.
I cant believe we pay still attention to British intelligence after they screwed us over so many times. We would do well to ignore them unless we can verify what they say independently.
I doubt that it was even nerve agent let alone novichok.
Remember that video that was gonna’ PROVE that the Russians shot down that Dutch airliner?
Remember Georgi MARKOV!!!! RICIN, with an Umbrella and pellets, in the leg, at a subway station. The KGB in action!
The Brit’s are looking like real clowns in this incident. It would be funny if it wasn’t such a serious accusation.
Well, Sergey Lavrov, and Maria Zakharova have been calling out the UK, and those supporting this Russia did it crap.
I am really angry that our government does the same thing.
And after saying we would leave Syria soon a few days ago, to hear President Trump say if Saudi Arabia wants us to stay in Syria, they will have to pay. WTF? Our military is now being prostituted to the KSA?
When our betters get tired of making up lies, they now just shove it in our faces? America first or the whims of our global elite lizard overlords? So disgusted with politicians who as Lavrov stated are “playing children’s games”.
Probably a stable binary compound, with very long shelf life, stored in the Russian Embassy in small amounts. A simple little kit, untraceable. Snap the tiny glass vial inside, shake, apply. Some about the size of a cigarette, perhaps looks like one. Some very tiny; a pellet the size of a pinhead in a tiny loaded tube the size of a little needle.
They probably have 100 of them, 1 or 2 each of different versions. Made 20-30 years ago, good for over 50 years. Different chemical signatures, close but not proveably the same as known agents. Splice or remove one little part of the molecule and it acts the same but shows up different under spectroscopy. Deniability. Designer agents, one-offs. Perhaps 4 or 5 different classes.
And you can bet the farm these things are out there, secret as hell, rarely used. But ready.
Well, I heard that the Skirpals visited a Himalayan temple while on vacation and didn’t leave a donation, so the Tibetans have motive here too.
Novichok is a nerve agent created by the Soviet Union, manufactured by the Soviet Union, and stockpiled by the Soviet Union. It was used to try and kill opponents of the Russian regime. As circumstantial cases go I imagine most prosecutors would be willing to go to trial.
