JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: BRITAIN'S THERESA MAY ACTS AGAINST RUSSIANS WITH ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE - NOW WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?




COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE ON CBC NEWS AND TO THE GUARDIAN (WHERE I AM AMAZED IT WASN’T REMOVED BY EDITORS)


“U.K. to expel 23 Russian diplomats over spy poisoning
“PM Theresa May says Russian state is guilty of attempted murder of ex-spy Sergei Skripal and daughter” 

The woman has no basis for what she is doing.

If she did, I wouldn't disagree at all, but she absolutely has none.

The material used is in the hands of a number of countries.

I'll just mention two of them, Ukraine and Israel - both being governments that dislike Russia and would love to embarrassment it. Israel has done so many such dirty tricks over the years (reliably reported fact: 2,700 assassinations) that comes as second-nature. The US and others also possess this nerve agent.

It absolutely defies logic that Russia would wait 12 years (after his release from prison) to poison this man and just before a presidential election.

And if they wanted to do this with nerve gas, their secret services could readily obtain some from a different source.

And if there is one generality to be said of Putin it is that he is logical, of high intelligence, and an extraordinary strategic thinker.

What can be said of Theresa May? She's made botch after botch, especially with regard to the various facets of Brexit.

And her own members and cabinet have been so divided over her, many times it has been reported she is likely to be dumped as leader.

Well, this kind of showboat effort shuts up the critics and gives her day after day of headlines.

It also ties directly into all the recent past anti-Russia campaign led by the US but doggedly followed by May.

It also serves as interference effectively in Russia's election.
