“Russia's intelligence services ‘fundamentally degraded’ after Salisbury attack, says Theresa May
Prime minister hails 'international unity' after UK blamed Moscow for poisoning”
Well, yes, and that was the point of the entire Skripal Affair, wasn’t it? The very reason for all that noise about a supposed effort at state murder with no real explanation of the event and no real evidence ever provided?
When you send enough diplomats packing, you naturally send intelligence officers packing because all countries use diplomatic cover for intelligence. All of them. And with several Western countries closely following May’s hasty lead, Russia naturally lost experienced intelligence people in several countries.
The entire business was just one more anti-Russian scam.
Theresa May’s voice has been notably missing following a number of genuine, terrible events. She stands neither for fairness nor justice that I can see.
There is her empty response to the Khashoggi killing, the clearest possible instance of gruesome state murder. It just happens to be one by a government spending billions on contracts with Britain and doing Western dirty work in Yemen. Her government has even been provided by Turkey with the tapes of Khashoggi’s death, but she says not a word.
We see that, too, in her lack of response to Israel’s wholesale mass killing in Gaza where the victim toll now stands at over 200 plus thousands wounded. All unarmed. All guilty of no crime. All shot by cowardly Israeli military snipers hiding behind a fence.
We see that in her ignoring what Ukraine does in the Donbass region and in its failure to follow the protocols of the Minsk Agreements for peace.
May brings neither honor nor dignity to the role of Prime Minister. She is proud to play an utterly subservient role in America’s imperial efforts. And she explains herself with drivel.
