Russia:

[lankeela]

Should we be worried?

[Jahulaye]

Of what exactly?

I've already spent enough of my life wondering what bloodthirsty delusional psychos are going to do with their weapons of mass destruction.

If you are talking about nuclear war - no. More sabre-rattling and this is a VERY serious incident. It is a wake-up call to the UK (and the West in general). I may very well be wrong, but Russia could use this as an excuse to show its new strength and invade one of the Baltic States. Russia, under Putin, wants its old, Empiric boundaries back - and has done for a long time. We shall see. It's all we have been able to do for all of my long-ish life. 1st crisis I was really aware of was Cuba - we're still here.

Peter Kay sums it up perfectly if you want to view putin as a “wardrobe monster”

Worried? I never worry about things that I have no control over....there's no point.

[lankeela]

Ok then another question - do we care if the Russians did carry out the assassination attempt and is it an occupational hazard if you are a double agent? Should we all be brought into this or should we just let it go?

They deployed a chemical weapon on our streets and hundreds could have been affected.

It's about time Russia were stood up to.

No

“They deployed a chemical weapon on our streets and hundreds could have been affected.

And you know this how?

Can little us stand up to a superpower like Russia?
It would be like a Yorkshire terrier standing up to a tyrannosaurus.

Jahulaye, if you have a problem with me spit it out. Don't just follow me around picking holes in my posts, that's just childish.

with the combined effort of USA, France, Germany then perhaps sanctions will work, get rid of Russians from the UK, those specifically in embassies, known spies, even if Russia retaliates by booting out our diplomats then so be it. They do have their weaknesses, and we don't stand alone.

“ Jahulaye, if you have a problem with me spit it out. Don't just follow me around picking holes in my posts,“

I don’t have any problems with you or anyone here, if you read my posts you’ll see that I have an inquisitive and curious nature regarding the unexplained.

How else do we learn if not by asking questions?
