Reveling in the latest series of diplomatic expulsions of Russian officials across the West, British Prime Minister Theresa May continued to talk up the “threat” posed by Russia, while threatening yet more non-specific actions against them.
The expulsions against Russia are already the biggest ever, and come despite the OPCW testing of the putative chemical agent used in the Salisbury poisoning not scheduled to be completed for weeks. May, whose government has been blaming Russia for weeks, suggests that this is just the latest step in what she’s calling “long-term measures” against Russia.
This sounds like it’s going to be more than just diplomatic measures. May says that the action will require “soft” warfare, and involve the full range of capabilities of the British government engaging Russia and other enemies.
May suggested that police, security services, economic levers, cutting-edge military resources, wider diplomatic and cultural influence would all be brought to use on the world’s stage, standing up for British interests against the Russians, Iranians, and other enemies.
When Israel used fake American and British passports to go to a country to assassinate one of their own, no one recalled ambassadors or imposed sanctions on them.
The May-bot is proving to be a lying psychotic nutbag…
The next election cannot come soon enough…
And once you involve your own country’s reputation and the reputation of many other major countries in endorsing a lie, you know that this insures that it won’t make any difference should you be shown to be wrong, as now you all have gone so far out on the limb with this lie, you, and none of you, can ever admit that you lied. Now May has insured that her story will never be challenged so there is no need for her to provide proof.
That May continues to resist providing any actual evidence is proof enough that she and British “intelligence” are complicit in this crime. Why the rest of NATO is taken in by this defies logic, unless one remembers that the whole point was to demonize Putin and keep on beating those war drums.
Like it matters what the “putative chemical agent used” in the attack was. Exactly what result will lead to Russia’s exoneration? They could trace it directly to Langley and the “Russia did it” narrative would continue.
The majority of the British people do not believe Theresa May. The Skrpals were poisoned at home, then drove to a an eatery an hour and a half away, and walked to a park bench where they were found. They were not infected with Noviochek. It would of killed instantly. This is the 4th version of events from the English government. Syria is lost and the USA wants in on the liquid natural gas market is all I get out of this huge lie.
Novichok is an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor type nerve agent. They don’t kill instantly. Sometimes they don’t kill at all, or else I wouldn’t be typing this.
HI Thomas, Novichok is a poison similar to neurotransmitters. Acetylcholinesterase is an enzyme responsible for breaking down acetylcholine and other choline based neurotransmitters. I got a bio and Chem degree. This particular compound, the one Teresa May is accusing the Russians of using kills almost instantly at least according to the data and chronology I have read.
If you’ve got a bio and chem degree, then you know that the speed of neurotransmission itself is something akin to the speed of light as regards the cascading effects of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. That is, it is a hard limit.
The Glial cells act as a barrier to large molecules entering the brain. Smaller molecules like serotonin or dopamine(neurotransmitter) are of small enough size to enter the brain. The receptors on the cell membrane responsible for transport into the cell can be overwhelmed by the amount of neurotransmitter outside the cell. The cell receptor saturation would be the only limiter to the diffusion of neurotransmitter across the brain. It would be very quick kinetic rate for a biochemical process. Enzymes are very interesting how they process so quickly. RNAase mechanism was one we did in school in class.
Flawless victory.
