>Killing him & his daughter offered no benefit to Putin. Russian TV seemed to be pushing a different message to would be traitors of the State so we'll have to agree to disagree on that one

21 people have received medical treatment after falling ill following the poisoning.

"let's kill an agent who's been out of the game for 20 years with nerve agent that can be traced right back to us" - said no fucking Russian intelligence officer ever
It's actually pretty great, you can deny it, and the fact that it's so obvious open up to misdirection, as long as you don't have active agents on the field that can be tracked right back to you the polonium poisoning was way sloppier, this is slightly more coordinated
Evan Stewart
share your thoughts, what benefit?
Adrian Carter
And they didn't even die! Stupid vodka swilling apes can't even kill one old man and his roastie daughter.

KGB, which Putin used to be a part of, has a long history of using exotic methods to poison dissidents

>Killing him & his daughter offered no benefit to Putin. moral satisfaction in our time is worth nothing?
Jacob Fisher
Let us spin the story and play on the Trump derangement syndrome.
Trump sends a message to Steele by informing Putin through hidden channels to kill one of Steeles sources/colleagues.

Shows strength, kills someone who could talk, maybe they know he gave up secrets, shows other agents to be loyal. There are plenty of reasons. If the UK wanted to make a scene and blame Russia there are plenty of other options (shooting down plane, prior poisoning, etc).
Owen Davis
The Russians murdered him as they weren't sure he was still active with MI6 and so it was a warning to any potential Russian who thought that they might betray the country to foreign spy services. The Brits, US etc operate in Russia and Russian government is inherently corrupt.
Nathaniel Diaz
Oh look. Another CIA agent shilling under a Russian proxy

He's not dead you spastic

It is well known that the Kremlin has no qualms with killing and that they have agents operating in the United Kingdom.

Here's an example of one assassination done by the KGB: >Georgi Markov was assassinated on a London street via a micro-engineered pellet containingricin, fired into his leg from an umbrella wielded by someone associated with the Bulgarian secret police. >Due to the circumstances and statements Markov made to doctors expressing the suspicion that he had been poisoned, theMetropolitan Policeordered a thoroughautopsyof Markov's body. Dr Bernard Riley, a forensic pathologist discovered a spherical metal pellet the size of a pin-head embedded in Markov's leg >Further examination by experts from Robert Gergi andPorton Downshowed that the pellet contained traces of toxicricin. A sugary substance coated the tiny holes creating a bubble which trapped the ricin inside the cavities. The specially crafted coating was designed to melt at 37°C (thehuman body temperature). As the pellet was shot into Markov, the coating melted and the ricin was free to be absorbed into the bloodstream and kill him. >KGBdefectors includingOleg KaluginandOleg Gordievskyhave confirmed that the KGB arranged the murder en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgi_Markov

the story was written so even a five year old chav could connect the dots pointing at the Russians. It is such lazy propaganda.
