“Oh they will blame Russia regardless of evidence.”
They will theland, going by the evidence I’ve gathered the whole thing stinks like a set up and Russia’s being framed especially seeing that the elections coming up so putins enemies want him out and what better way then smear his name through the mud and scare his countrymen that having him in power would destabilise the nations economy seeing that most of the world would then put Russia under serious sanctions.
This has become a game of political chess and his enemies want him checkmated.
"Russia’s being framed especially seeing that the elections coming up so putins enemies want him out " - this will help his case but it makes no difference because the election is bent as a butchers hook anyway.
Don't mock the flat earthists. Everyone knows that the earth is a giant saucer supported by four elephants standing on the backs of seven giant tortoises.
A possible theory is that the “Russians” may have indeed done it but a lone wolf or small organisation unbeknown to Putin and the Kremlin, maybe a small group of ex spies/ kgb members who were betrayed by Skripal and felt betrayed by Putin when he took no action.
Not unlike the rogue British agents who were convinced Harold Wilson was a Russian spy, then. It would be nice to say it was implausible, but it isn't.
Harold Wilson of course wasn’t a Soviet agent.
Union leader Jack Jones was by all accounts though.
The ‘rogue Russian element’ theory is so unlikely as to be discountable. Not given the material used.
