Buzzfeed was onto these assassinations last summer. They had a series of articles that tried to highlight how unnerving and suspicious the trend was becoming. What has tRump and the entire GOP in Congress done to follow up on any of these stories or stand up to Putin? Nothing, zilch, nada, zero, bupkis.
Someone is finding all this funny for some reason. I still can’t understand how the fuck this happened…or how all those Russian intelligence agency officials were flown here undercover to meet with Pompeo. And look…now he’s going to be Sec. of State. That’s some kind of strange transition after Tillerson’s firing for standing up to Russia as well.
“We will always do what is necessary to defend ourselves, our allies and our values against an attack of this sort, which is an attack not only on the United Kingdom, but upon the international rules-based system on which all countries, including Russia, depend for their safety and security,” Bristow told reporters after being informed of the expulsions.
Good on them, keep it up. I know they f*cked up before on the first murder in 2003(?) by not cracking down on Moscow.
“It is possible that (Britain) will continue to respond; we are ready for this. But London must understand that this will not do anything, it is useless to talk with Russia with such methods,” Dzhabarov was quoted as saying by the state news agency RIA Novosti.
This, sanctions and military strength are the only thing Russia will respond too so long as Putin is in power. Bush and Obama were too nice and now Trump is in Putin’s pocket. Ask Georgia, Crimea, and Ukraine how “playing nice with Russia” worked for them over the past decade.
Most of the world is going turn on Russia and they will be made sorry. Very sorry.
This is not how an innocent country would behave. If the Russians didn’t commit this hit they would be working to find the truth of who is responsible, not kicking out diplomats. At a minimum the British should recall their ambassador.
Had to laugh at this rant. What planet were you inhabiting before landing on planet Earth yesterday, again?
Geez, I’ve hardly ever read an article with so many right wing, uninformed, incredibly ignorant writers making comments that are ridiculous, like they have memorized MSM dictates on everything.
“”“A Russian lawmaker warned Britain against escalating the crisis.”""
Rally now? Lets take a look at this from a European ( where I grew up ) perspective. Russia is a pain in the ass and all bark and no bite. It’s GDP in 2017 was about half that of the UK’s and it’s per person contribution too GDP is third world stuff ( about 8K$ compared to UK’s 40K). It has a large poorly supplied military. It naval capabilities are a joke. It’s air force is not nearly as high tech as they portray it. The CIA and MI6 know this. No one is going to use nukes so the only card Russia has to play is never going on the table. So stop it America. Get over your cold war hype ( that was manipulative political scare mongering ) and see the Russian Federation for what it is. A nostalgic wanna bet that will never be. Kicking out diplomats will hurt them far more than it will the UK and NO ONE wants to live in Moscow anyway. It really sucks there.
Stocking up on popcorn for the confirmation hearing.
