“Basically the shady and dishonest British said Putin had a motive.”
No, there is very solid evidence of Russian involvement, and zero evidence that anyone else was involved. There is just no “smoking gun” we can point to in order to say WHO in the Russian government ordered it. That’s why the case was decided based only on the VERY STRONG circumstantial evidence alone.
“And the day he fell ill, he met with a couple of current kgb/fsb agents. Afterwards he met an Italian shady guy connected to everything evil who is also ...a nuclear expert... found to have been exposed to the Polonium and who also had ties to Columbia.”
Misleading information. Of course the Italian was exposed to the polonium, because EVERYONE that Litvinienko met with after he was poisoned was exposed to it, because Litvinienko, at that point, was radiologically HOT and irradiating everything and everyone he came into contact with.
However, there were only 2 people, in all of London, who were exposed to the polonium BEFORE Litvinienko was poisoned, and those were the 2 KGB agents. They could be tracked by their radiation trails, from Europe into London, and then again, as they fled London, proving they were the only ones in possession of the MURDER WEAPON prior to the poisoning.
“There are about 20 plausible explanations for this guy getting dead, of which the Russian government is only one.”
No, there is only 1 plausible explanation, and anyone telling you different is either a liar or an idiot.

This explanation is nonsense. Being radiologically hot is not like having a virus. The notion that the mafia guy became detectably hot just from being in the room with Litvienko is absurd.
