Major incident at Salisbury District Hospital
Discussion
Apologies I've not read the whole thread - but if it's accepted by multiple governments that Russia as a nation has used a weapon of mass destruction against another nation, what possible rational response to this is there?
It's unthinkable that simply a spot of account freezing "sanction" for a handful of people goes anywhere near far enough.
Knock out a few pipelines and let them remember how cold their winters are? Putin slipping down some stairs? A run on the ruple and wipe out their economy for the next 5 years?

Did I read correctly that the homeless couple who got poisoned found the "perfume" in a box, in a charity bin??
Pretty sick of the assassins to dispose of the stuff in a charity drop-off!!! 100% sure someone would handle the contents when sorted and potentially re-distributed.
Just imagine if a charity distribution centre had this spilled on other items!

agreed the response has been very light in my view, they killed one of our citizens with a WMD FFS!It's unthinkable that simply a spot of account freezing "sanction" for a handful of people goes anywhere near far enough.

Don't Russia supply most of our oil ?It's unthinkable that simply a spot of account freezing "sanction" for a handful of people goes anywhere near far enough.

I wonder what the repercussions would be if we sent a couple of agents into Russia to kill the suspected poisoners?
The Daily Mash has already called this one I'm afraid.Glade said:

Doing a bit of googling, it was likely a waste bin behind a charity shop, not a donation bin. Still, most business waste is sorted so it could have contaminated numerous people.Pretty sick of the assassins to dispose of the stuff in a charity drop-off!!! 100% sure someone would handle the contents when sorted and potentially re-distributed.

They will both be found dead soon.
It's probably more likely they will be promoted.Look what happened to Dmitry Kovtun and Andrei Lugovoy. They managed to poison Litvinenko, but were comprehensively and easily identified as the perpetrators, and managed to spill Polnium all over a city and an aircraft.
They have both gone on to have very agreeable careers, and Lugovoy was given a medal.

Im interested what they will do. the sanctions/response needs to be greatly escalated.
Escalating it will give the perception that you weren't quite sure when you originally implemented sanctions.I don't think any further action will be taken. The meeting at the UN just rubber stamps proceedings and the incident will go down on the ever growing list of Russian overseas belligerent activity.

I think your spot on .We will have a bit of background noise for a while and then the hope is it will just go away because in reality there is little we can do and Russia know this and really don't think we are strong enough to do anything about it.I don't think any further action will be taken.

Tass gain reports the Russian state's claim that they've never made these chemical weapons. Which says to me me that, if they can tell that whopper without embarrassment, don't expect anything other than dissembling on any 'lesser' point.
It will be interesting to see if Bellingcat or some of the other Net sleuths can find these guys from other online footprints.

I think it's time the Russian elite were kicked out. Out of our Universities(their kids).
Punishing children for the sins of their fathers, eh? Wonder if that'll ever catch on anywhere other than North Korea...Gassing Station | News, Politics & Economics | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
