Oh, and did I forget MH17?
The Skripal incident is now, by chance or by design, part of a much larger campaign about 'western' dominance over 'the east'. Russia, which ended the unilateral moment of U.S. nuclear primacy, is currently the main target. The situation is extremely dangerous as any further escalation, in the Middle East, the Ukraine ore elsewhere, might lead to a war between nuclear armed powers.
The government decreed 'truth' about the Skripal case has many discrepancies. The connection of the case to Russia is much weaker than the propaganda claims. But doubt and dissent about it are not allowed to prevail.….Only geostrategists realize at this point (and have for a long while) that taking down Russia is actually a key piece in taking down China. Kissinger's advice was to ally with Russia. But the Western elites have set upon the course of first taking out Russia, which would put NATO on the Western border of China and the Seventh Fleet on the Eastern border.
Of course, the Russian and Chinese militaries and intelligence services are well aware of this and preparing for it.
The West is well aware of MAD and has no intention of launching into an all-out war with nuclear-armed Russia that no one would win. The plan is to isolate Russia, grind it down economically, and force regime change by a population that has no other recourse than to put in a Western puppet government.
Unless one views what is happening globally in terms of the grand chessboard, it looks daft. But if one does, the geopolitics and geostrategy are actually very clear.

This is the desired effect. The objective is to get the Russian leadership so infuriated that they loose it and overstep. Carefully designed but I doubt that Putin will fall for it. It's too transparent for someone with his background and experience.
