Like a BIC lighter this act started with hate in someones heart to revenge a wrong ... that hate must be addressed properly or it will strike again.
The fear this act generates is also a premeditated one :yep: |
Hate has most likely nothing to do with it, but cool calculation. Its a message to anybody considering to spy on Russia as a double agent: "You can run, but you will pay."
Its the attempt of spionage deterrance. |

Maybe the western intelligence agencies ought to respond in kind. A few Russian big shots end up dead it might give them a reason to reconsider that deterrent. |
If it is Russia who is behind this
The question is what the government in London will do. The hardest response would be to kick out some Russians diplomats and/or recall the English Ambassador in Russia. Or as some of you have mentioned. I don't think the government will use the eye for an eye -thing. Markus |

"Vladimir Putin as warned Russia's enemies they will 'be served with poison' as police revealed a Russian spy and his daughter were 'targeted specifically' with nerve agent."

Should it be proven that Russia is behind this attack I should imagine the worst that can be expected would be travel bans and the freezing of assets of anyone suspected of being involved. Furthermore, trade sanctions could be imposed which if hard enough would or could reflect badly against Putin as they began to take an economic effect.
The above is purely speculation of course. |

Its Russia we talk of, not some small banana republic in Latin America. There's still some life in that old dog. ;) |
So what would you suggest as an alternative?
