still doesn’t explain how Rowley and Sturgess came into possession of a ‘small bottle’ or ‘lipstick’ depending on the reporting. Are they agents, too?

Something tells me that it isn’t novichok.
Also something tells me that it comes from the same people who brought us the Steele dossier.

Yulia lived in Russia , was only visiting her dad, was getting ready to start a family, and her father who had lost his wife and his son the year - supposedly wrote a letter wanting to go back to live in Russia with all his remaining family

Surely Putin wanted to poison them both in England

Oh, wait
Who stood to lose if Skripal returned to Russia

Sturgess (for sure) and Rowley, the boyfriend (probably) were recovering heroin addicts. In general, this part of the story has been skipped over. Various newspapers in the UK will talk about it...I don’t think the BBC or Sky has mentioned this.

Cops say (via the newspapers) that Sturgess came across the item in what looked like a perfume bottle and sprayed it across her face and arms.

Just my guess but I suspect that the Russian mafia was given the task while delivering meth and heroin to their local connection...to accept the Skripal, and find some idiot to spray it near the first two. Maybe the delivery guy (some heroin addict) brought it back to the dealer, and Rowley/Sturgess just accidentally came across it when dealing for their stuff, and took it.

If you were looking for ‘agents’, these two are pretty unlikely at the game.

Good. Trump has already said we, the US stand in solidarity with the UK. The usual trash-posting Putin-bots ought to go to DU with their rubbish.

“They (the investigators) are sure they (the suspects) are Russian,” said the source...

No. They’re reportedly semi-bums with a history of dumpster raiding and drinking in public parks. They likely stumbled across the discarded delivery mechanism that way.

Who does? Trump. He has said we stand in solidarity with the UK and you can’t change it.

Skiddaddle back to DU if you don’t like what he said or post about another Russian highly paid call girl like that chick trying to infiltrate gun groups. Flush the Russian troll nonsense.

Exactly, DP.

It feels weird to trust Russia more than I trust UK and our own Deep state.

The same Intel services that insisted a British agent miraculously beat, bound, and stuffed himself into a luggage container, zipped it up, and locked the zippers together..

In the meantime, half of Russian Olympic athletes can’t even compete in the Olympics because of doping and their “gun nut” is another high-class Russian hooker.

...they believe...citing a source close to the investigation.

Don’t these words sound familiar?

This is just an extension of the Hillary Clinton-Democon Russian narrative. If the Skripols had really been dosed with Novachok and walked into an ER the place would have been locked down, a major quarantine would have taken place, and hundreds of people would have had their lives turened upside-down to make sure this stuff was not “in the wild” in the area. Did any of that happen? I didn’t think so.

They didn’t walk into an ER. They were found unconscious on a bench. Hundreds of military Decon troops were deployed and chunks of the town were closed off and some still are. How can you have a fixed view of something you clearly don’t have a first clue about?

Yet another very misleading headline. There’s a YUGE difference between, Identifying the Russians and Believing that they identified the Russians.

If the Russian assassins are this inept, how in the world could they have hacked into a database, that supposedly had security, and manipulated an election, that over 120 million people voted in, and to this day there is no proof of anything?

They’re worse than the Keystone Cops. They need to get some training from the clinton crime syndicate on how to whack people and get away with it.

Large organisations have differing levels of skill, resources and luck?
