One sane voice.Why should Putin, or anyone else in the Russian state, suddenly want him dead now for anything he did more than a decade ago? Or destroy the precedent that spy swaps should always be honoured? If Russian agents considered Skripal a great danger, they had plenty of opportunities to murder him earlier — or simply to keep him in jail. It would hardly be in Russia’s interest to be seen to renege on a spy swap, which would make co-operation with Britain — or any other country —...

Focuses on economic challenges that China faces and downplays the military threat. I think that both are involved in consolidation of power. The Chinese leadership realizes that it is considered the primary adversary of the US and the chief competitor for global influence in the future. China also perceives America as preparing to act to preserve its global hegemony economic and politically. This is about trimming the ship for economic and possibly military war. China also perceives...

He knows perfectly well Russia didn't do it, but I guess the pressure was enormous. But President Emmanuel Macron says he wants more evidence. Let's hope other European leaders come to their senses and line up with Macron.  I've been putting this out all morning on YouTube -  Theresa May isn't telling truth when she says the that the “novichok” formula...
