Who is Novichok, a tiny hockey player?

Not to defend Russia but Novichok was developed between 1971 and 1993

To assume that they are the only country to have the agent now is naive

It could be a false flag operation

CBS news (yes, I know) said the couple were dumpster divers-looking for needles and the like to use with their drug problem. First I had heard of this.

I thought it was interesting listening to someone that was actually involved with the program.

I’m leaning towards terrorism practice. The Russians aren’t going to kill random people. That’s terrorism.

If it comes in Luscious Crimson then I want one!

That makes far more sense than the Russians leaving a nerve agent just lying around after use, or the Russians killing random junkies a few miles from a Brit chemical weapons facility.

I was thinking that. I’m sure that angle is being explored.

From my time in the defense industry, I can remember that mentioning this stuff outside of a classified briefing was worth your job. Now it’s news of the day.

The Soviet Union collapsed so I'm not sure how they deal with that now. Assuming this guy worked for the Soviet Union and not the Russian Federation.

Maybe he's a Putin plant for some reason as yet to tell.

Could also be a chess master.

“Who is your favorite chess player?”

“Um....Novichok?”

“Of course....Novichok....What country is he from again?

O.K., just so I’m understanding this correctly: He’s not talking about RBG, correct?
