Critically ill man 'former Russian spy'

Let's recall fate of CIA defector
Edward Lee Howard - Wikipedia


Had CIA a cause to kill him. Yes.
Can it be regarded as evidence? No.
Was it a murder? Who knows?
If it was killing then is the USA responsible? Innocent until proven guilty.

Much more likely he was 'bumped off' by the FSB as he was looking to go back to the US, so long as they dropped his violation of probation:
....and here he sets out the conditions under which he would leave his safe house: He agrees to face espionage charges but wants New Mexico to waive a violation of his probation?a probation he incurred by shooting up a car in a drunken brawl

There's a few 'tit bits' here:
And this brings us back to the subject of Howard's own death. If, as the Post's anonymous informant suggests, Howard's body was found with a broken neck, could he simply have fallen? Perhaps he was tipsy from one of his notorious bouts with drinking. Yet Howard had almost certainly outlived his usefulness to the Russians. In 1991, a Washington Times article noted that he'd lost his once round-the-clock KGB protection and feared he might be turned over to U.S. authorities for prosecution.

Could just be 'piss head falls down stairs and breaks neck' but that doesn't fit any 'alternate narrative'
 
This whole thing has been absence of the normal, presence of the abnormal right from the day1.

Lucky that most arrseholes have been conditioned to accept that Ru did it with no evidence.
Along with everything else Ru have pulled- also with no evidence.

Stroke of genius really.
Russia has lied many times over many years. The logical & obvious conclusion many times is that Russia is guilty. You clearly have internet access, so you Google it.

Going back several pages, a question to you that remains unanswered.
Do you have a dislike of the West or sympathy for the Russian government?
 
Except Syria, Libya,etc
You may be catching up of what has gone before but fortunately Yars is taking a holiday. All the twists and turns of the various Russian statements and flip flopping over who did what would have had him certified if he was still around. The mental gymnastics would have been too much for him.
 
Not that.
This- Both Channel One and Rossia 1’s flagship Sunday news show “Vesti Nedeli” usedphots from a Syrian-born director’s 2016 film shoot as evidence that anti-government forces falsified the chemical attacks.
I wasn't aware that this had happened but it hardly discounts anything that
Russian TV Uses Film Stills as Proof Syria Chemical Attack Was Staged
You appear to be posting in the wrong thread btw.
I think the OPCW chap said any state. So that is not anybody The rest of the evidence points to Russia. It is evidence whether you like it or not. Not tested by a court of law, hence the highly likely statement but still evidence.
A state player. There are 196 countries on the planet- care to take your pick?
NB The one being blamed might not be the guilty party as they've gained nothing from any of this.
Who has gained from this, do you know?
@184461

What exactly do you mean by the word evidence. I think there may be a little bit of confusion here?

A lot more than 'it had to be the Russians as the target/NA was Russian and apparently the Russians have a supposed state sponsored assassination team running around the world, ineptly creating grief for the Ru state.

That's not evidence now is it? That's pure, biased, guess-work.

Russia has lied many times over many years
Shock horror nation states lying!
Or AKA misleading the public.
Britain’s Boris Johnson is accused of misleading the public over Skripal poisoning evidence
Do you have a dislike of the West or sympathy for the Russian government?
You trying to deflect and distract again?
fortunately Yars is taking a holiday
Arsch living up to it's name again and censoring anyone that goes against the herd-mentality?
That's a surprise.
Good to see the values of the UK gubberment replicated on open source internet.

It can not be excluded.
Also mr.Skripal could be poisoned by CIA or/and British secret services for the same reason. It can not be excluded.
Mr.Skripal had almost certainly outlived his usefulness to the British and could be used as Guinea pig to unleash one more anti-Russian campaign.
 
Granted Boris Johnson is a pillock, but his so called misleading statement is hardly on the scale of Chernobyl, KAL 007, The Kursk, MH17 etc is it?
Deflection or distraction? No, I'm not the Russian government but just continue to avoid the question.

‘Highly likely’ as opposed to ‘likely’. You obviously know what ‘usefulness or otherwise’ Skripal was to the U.K.? Or it’s more guessing again.

We don’t need any more ‘Russia as a victim’ threads or reasons. You keep doing what you’re accused of and you support your ‘crooks and thieves’ in their endeavours

At least quote the whole thing so it meant what it did instead of avoiding the question yet again .

You doing a scaley-backed plastic?
