Showing Original Post only (View all)UK nerve agent attack must have been used by the world's most incompetent spy [View all]
Am I the only one who thinks it is strange how we are supposed to believe that a professional assassin working for Vladimir Putin used a nerve agent that would immediately be traced straight back to one man in particular, called Vladimir Putin?
Of all the ways to kill, silence or shoot somebody, or to arrange an accident or a fake suicide, the bumbling secret agent working for Putin chose the one method that meant all roads lead to Putin. Is that really what we are supposed to believe?

Exactly. The point of using nerve agent is to let others know you're capable of this.

That is the official version of events, but there are a lot of unanswered questions.

Actually, read more on the subject. It is perfect plausible deniability for Putin

I had not heard Russia's claim they were framed. I despise Putin as I despised Saddam Hussein.
