Poisoning of Russian spy raises troubling questions
2018-03-12
London (CNN)It's more than a week in and we still know very little about the poisonings in the cathedral city of Salisbury in southern England. Former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter, Yulia, 33, remain hospitalized in "very serious condition."

Here are four big questions that remain unanswered.

#5  Wasn't this Skripal fella in a Russian pokey for several years? If so, they had every opportunity in the world to bump him off.

Could MI-6 be blowing the dust off of the old playbook? Steele theory not bad, either.

#4  A ZH comment claiming Skripal is linked to Christopher Steele via his recruiter and handler Pablo Miller.

#2  The larger question is: "What does it take to become embarassing and inconvenient to these people?"
Is it reserved for their own compatriots, or can anyone get on the list? If so, has it been going on and nobody picked up on it?

#1  One question not asked; are we seeing some sort of retaliation for the recent Russian Wagner Group PMC (Private Military Company) losses ?

Appears to be sloppy with potential for significant collateral damage.

Just putting it on the white board for discussion.
