Theresa May set to blame Russia for Salisbury chemical attack

READY TO FINGER VLAD Theresa May set to blame Russia for Salisbury chemical attack on former spy as spooks confirm nerve agent poisoning
Relations between Britain and Russia freeze over again with spy chiefs to say nerve agent is key to Kremlin involvement

THERESA May is preparing to name Russia as responsible for the chemical weapons outrage in Salisbury after confirmation from spy chiefs. The PM’s explosive move will plunge relations between London and Moscow into their worst crisis since the end of the Cold War.
A key intelligence assessment of who was behind the nerve agent poisoning is being delivered to No10 overnight, to be on PM’s desk in the morning.
In their report to Mrs May, The Sun has learned that MI5 and MI6 chiefs will cite the very rare substance used on ex-spy Sergei Skripal and daughter Yulia as key evidence of the Kremlin’s involvement. It is believed to have been developed in the SVR Russian foreign spy service’s notorious Yasenevo laboratory.

Mrs May will then summon an emergency meeting of her National Security Council at 11am to decide on the scale of Britain’s retaliation.

I'm not worried that May will come down hard on Pooty Poot. I am worried about what we will do. This could be a big opportunity for congress to grow a backbone. Will they, though?

.... he expects a pass from other world leaders. But Putin doesn't have the juicy kompromat on others to blackmail them like he has on tRump.
