Nah! I think they are the 7 year old child whose hand has been found in the cookie jar, and they are having a tantrum. It’s all a bit embarrassing, really.

Russia has the potential to be such a magnificent nation, but thanks to their corrupt and staggeringly incompetent rulers, they are lost in the rising China’s shadow, while their economy is smaller than Italy’s.

The Russians deserves better than this.

Your post reminded me of my favorite quote from WWII. During the height of the Blitz she was asked if she planned to send her daughters to safety in Canada. She said “The girls won’t leave unless I leave. I won’t leave unless the King leaves. And the King will never leave”.

This whole Skripal thing has really got them rattled. They have become far too used to getting away with things.

Check out Moon of Alabama on the Skripal case. It's looking like a random case of shellfish poisoning converted into an international incident when it was noticed that the victim was conveniently a Russian defector. Except the victims survived despite supposed exposure to a military grade nerve poison ten times more effective than VX. Even WaPo wants to know. The head of Britain's Porton Down lab said it was Novichok, a Soviet nerve poison, but he couldn't confirm it was of Russian origin (contradicting his government's representations). The medical director of the hospital where the victims were taken maintained that no one at his facility was treated for organophosphate poisoning (ruling out Novichok).

Lots of questions!

Did Terry May need to wag the dog due to poor polls? Or was she somehow duped by the international Deep State?

And, if the above blogger is correct, why did the Donald fall for it and follow her lead?

The Left is doing it’s best to start a war between Russia and the West to distract from their power grab.

Nope. Sorry, I don’t buy a single thing that that blogger is selling. Fish poisoning? Ludicrous.

The facts are all pointing to Russian state involvement. Why has Donald followed Theresa May’s lead? Because he will have seen the intelligence provided for the 5 Eyes nations, and it is clearly pretty conclusive.

As for Theresa May wagging the dog due to poor polls, I find that highly unlikely. She will suffer a disaster in the increasingly left wing London elections soon, but that was always going to be the case. Unbelievably, her party still has a slight lead over Labour (any other Labour leader and they would probably be 20 points ahead by now) in the national polls.

Much to Moscow’s dismay, Jeremy Corbyn isn’t going to become prime minister anytime soon.

One out of four Russian men will die in his fifties due to alcoholism. Pot meet kettle.

A liter of vodka before lunch then go for a joyride with the dashcam on.

Actually, this seems very civilized.

The headline “all day” didn’t show up in the story “every day”. Big difference.

The one thing the Queen doesn’t do is drink Russian sour grapes.

I doubt it. I think it is very unlikely the Russians did this poisoning — and much more likely a setup by Brits.

Also, if the Russian people didn’t like strongman rulers with expansionist intentions, they wouldn’t have them.

>Nobody creates disinformation better than the Russkies British...

No doubt this story was ginned up to make people feel sympathy for their incompetent prime minister and loyalty to the queen.
