How plausible is this alternate theory of the UK Russian spy poisoning?
Here's the theory: Back in the 1980s, the Soviets provided the nerve agent to one of the governments in the Middle East, perhaps Libya. During a recent conflict, the facility where it was stored was captured by ISIS or some other terror group and the poison fell into their hands. The terrorists targeted a known Russian spy in England to stir up an incident between the West and Russia, ideally to spark a conflict wherein the two biggest enemies of ISIS fight each other. .... .... ... ... ... ... . Terrorism is asymmetric warfare, you should expect the unexpected. ....... .. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... Of course this is just a theory, but what do you think, is it plausible?
I guess that's the other foreseeable alternate theory: a false flag. When I look at the shrill tone of the British response, and the speed at which they reached the decision to blame it on Russia, the way the rest of the West has moved in lock step to condemn Russia without anyone demanding additional proof, they seem to be awfully ... enthusiastic... a little too certain. Where do they get their certainty from? Nothing they've disclosed publicly makes me certain. If it was a false flag though, it would explain their certainty.
Yeah, that is interesting. Have you seen this one?

What I'm fairly sure of is that barring a false flag, it wasn't a major state actor. The amateurish nature of the attack is witness to that.
Besides, I've never heard any rational explanation from Russia's accusers of what Russia was hoping to have happen there. You know? Like, if you're Putin and you order that attack, what's the best case scenario?
Everything is possible, but is it plausible? I'd call no, not in this case. Terrorist organizations are quite straight-forward in their methods, they cannot rely on other people doing their job for them. It's like chess and checkers. The board is pretty much the same, but the game is different. Both the US and USSR were playing chess, but the silly ragheads (sorry if that sounds racist) were going for checkers. These days, though, they have developed more sophisticated tactics, in which case such a scenario would be possible.
I think the reporter, who figured out this "plot" has had a bit too much LSD. I should know. I recognize the symptoms.
A terrorist would more likely call the media 5 minutes later and say. "We did it!" They want the attention.
As many countries and even private companies, who have or have developed nerve agents of the decades, almost any scenario is possible.
Anything is plausible...and there is a lot fishy going on...happy someone posted about it....
I've even heard that some Canadians have started to play hockey, on ice! Can't believe that could be true... You don't even know what the puck looks like... It's like a bowling ball, but not quite similar to it.
You must be getting confused with curling...ha.
Well, I am competing in the brain-dead category, but...
I hear the people of Finland are the happiest in the world... Why is that?
We drink a lot of coffee and read a lot of literature?
