Suspected Russian spies charged in Skripal poisoning case

Theresa May’s bunch have indicted a couple guys they think flew in from somewhere and tried to kill 2 people with a perfume bottle and a door knob. On Putin’s orders, of course. Coincidentally, these guys are in RUSSIA! like our 13 election tossing trolls. And they’re about as likely to see the inside of an English courtroom as Booby’s trolls will see one here in The Disfunctional States of “RUSSIA! did it!”

Suspected Russian spies charged in Skripal poisoning case

*

The Crown Prosecution Service says that it charged the two Russians, who traveled to the U.K. under the names Alexander Petrov and Ruslan Boshirov, with conspiracy to murder the Skripals as well as Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, a police officer who fell ill after being exposed to the nerve agent (he has since recovered). They have also been charged with grievous bodily harm against DS Bailey and Yulia Skripal

It is believed that the pair — likely using aliases — flew into London on an Aeroflot flight on Friday, March 2, before taking a reconnaissance trip to Salisbury. They returned to the town on Sunday where they are believed to have contaminated the front door of the Skripal’s property. Afterward they immediately went to Heathrow Airport and flew out of the country.

In Parliament on Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May said that Petrov and Boshirov likely worked for the G.R.U., Russia’s military intelligence agency. She added that the operation would “almost certainly” have had to be approved by senior figures within the Russian state.

Regardless of the path in life I chose, I realize it's always forward, never straight.

@Pricknick I must admit that I was not aware of Off Guardian. The Guardian was once a very useful newspaper, but since Katherine Viner took over as editor-in-chief, it has become a neo-liberal propaganda outlet along with a lot of indulgent emotional crap aimed at upper middle class women. Off Guardian is obviously a reaction.

@Pricknick
better photoshopping skills than your average American or British intelligence service member.

I don’t think they even care if we know that they’re lying these days.

space at the same time, why bother with messy Trademark Made in Ruska nerve agents? Just zap the main enemy into another dimension.

If you have a problem with another countries military actions,
you cannot arrest the private, or Captain, or whomever. You go
to the Hague. Can Viet Nam indict our soldiers for what they did?
Can Iraq? Can Syria, Afghanistan, stop me any time, or anywhere
else, indict and arrest a military personell acting under orders
in the line of duty? No.

Of course not. You go to the U.N., and the Hague.

So that is how phony the G.R.U. indictments are. Pure kabuki.
Excrement du bovine. And of course Mueller, and they, know that.

The same stands for G.B. pretending to indict GRU people. IF it
was under orders, they are protected. You go to the Hague.

The "official" story has been changed more times than a baby's diaper. No version yet has made any sense. It is the most hokey fetid pile I have ever seen the Brits come up with.

Here have some of this, you will feel much better....
