Is fault of moose and squirrel.
This sounds like espionage code to me.
If so, how can Britain claim they aren't making their own Novichoks?
Why were the dead animals disposed of rather than preserved as evidence?
The guinea pigs were working for the CIA.
The Russians probably did it just like the Brits say. Nerve agent poisoning would be readily diagnosed by depressed levels of acetylcholine estersse in the victims’ blood. A number of field and laboratory tests can identify the essential chemicals in the agent, such as phosphorus and sulfur (if it’s formulation is anything like VX for example).
However, Mueller made such a dog’s breakfast out of the Amerithrax investigation, and all of the false starts regarding WMD in Iraq that I think folks are rightly skeptical of pronouncements on WMD by government. The Russians are taking advantage of that skepticism.
British officials, meanwhile, say they are “absolutely” certain that Russia — and likely even the Kremlin — lay behind the poisoning.
“They have a track record of using nerve agents, and they have a track record of state-sponsored assassinations,” Kim Darroch, the British ambassador to the U.S., told Here & Now on Friday. “Add all of that together — not just us, but in the court of international opinion, because I think 28 nations have taken action against Russia — and there’s no doubt in our mind of their culpability, no doubt.”

Interesting reasoning. Russia did it, because 28 nations have taken action against Russia for doing it. Sort of like saying “of course he’s guilty, we put him to death”.
Hey Putin, Russia, you screwed with the wrong people this time.......PETA.
I read somewhere that the physicians initially were treating them for fentanyl poisoning before the MI5/MI6 spokesliars stepped in.
