It's said that some people will believe anything. And that's what Guardian editors must be thinking, based on their latest story on the Litvinenko affair. It's titled "Fresh Evidence Suggests Litvinenko Was Killed to Keep Him Quiet."
Here's what the Guardian wants its readers to believe:
1. Some bad actor (widely expected to be the Russian state according to the Guardian) wanted to "prevent [Litvinenko] from testifying about Vladimir Putin’s links with Russian organized crime."
2. That there is now added "credence to the theory that eliminating Litvinenko was a matter of utmost urgency for the Kremlin."
3. "Amateur killers" were sent in to do the job.
4. These killers used polonium 210 as their weapon of choice.
Does that make any sense to you? Certainly it defies reason that a bad actor, motivated by a sense of "utmost urgency" would send "amateurs" to do the job. What's more it is puzzling that the instrument of death would be a radioactive element that would take over 20 days to bring about the desired silencing of Litvinenko. What kind of urgent silencing is that?
I think a good measure of gullibility is required to believe that Guardian story.

That’s why I like FR. It’s the go-to website for Kremlin propaganda.
Its the “Kremlin’s” magic bullet theory I guess.
You do know that Russia Insider Blog is a hilariously jingoistic fluff, not a real news site.
It has certainly becoming like that. But what is more a lot of people around here seem quite ready to believe the propaganda.
