That's a good point, Honey. I think it is logical to use the same substance if you want to send a message that opponents will not escape and will be made to suffer, while denying it of course.
I wonder if Navalny is going to make a proper recovery. The people in Salisbury would have got it on their skin if it was smeared on a door handle, even the woman who died apparently "only" sprayed it on her skin from the perfume bottle, but if Navalny drank it in tea he would have ingested it. |

Yes and the question is by whom, as this substance has been available to many government agencies for over a quarter of a century. Including Iran and the Czech Republic for example.
After the Salisbury and other occurrences, it seems illogical for Putin and Russia to use the same obnoxious substance to neutralise a known critic and enemy who was clearly in the public eye.
If you can get away with an audacious act, why wouldn't you do it again? |

I agree, it's so easy to blame Russia for everything. Russian authorities are no saints but again what leader actually is?
Merkel seems to know a lot about this.  |

BBC: Alexei Navalny poisoned with Novichok - Germany
Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent, Germany's government says.
It said toxicology tests at a military laboratory showed ""unequivocal proof" of an agent from the Novichok group.
Mr Navalny was airlifted to Berlin for treatment after falling ill during a flight in Russia's Siberia region last month. He has been in a coma since.
His team says he was poisoned on President Vladimir Putin's orders. The Kremlin has dismissed the allegation.
Translation of Kremlin reaction: "na na na na na!"

Maybe you think the poisoning of Russian opposition figures is mundane. I don't. As for music, I have my preferences but discussing music doesn't interest me. Everyone has their own interests and as Honey points out - thanks, Honey - if you don't like my posts you don't have to read them. |
