Russia\u2019s Reaction to the Insults of the West is Political Suicide<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The onslaught of western Russia bashing in the past days, since the alleged poison attack by a Soviet-era nerve agent, Novichok (the inventor of which, by the way, lives in the US), on a Russian double agent, Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia, has been just horrifying. Especially by the UK. Starting with PM May, who outright accused Russia of using chemical weapons (CW) on UK grounds, without delivering any evidence. Strangely, there is no indication where Skripal and his daughter are, in which hospital the pair is being treated, no poison analysis is being published, they cannot be visited; there is absolutely no evidence of the substance they allegedly have been poisoned with \u2013 do Sergei and Yulia actually exist?<\/p>\n

As a consequence, Theresa May expels 23 Russian diplomats, who have to leave the UK within a week. Then came Boris Johnson, the Foreign Minister clown, also an abject liar. He said, no he yelled, at his fellow parliamentarians that it was \u201cOverwhelmingly likely, that Putin personally ordered the spy attack.\u201d This accusation out of nothing against the Russian President is way more than a deep breach in diplomatic behavior, it is a shameful insult. \u2013 And no evidence is provided. Putin\u2019s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov,\u00a0in fact, said that Johnson\u2019s personal attack on President Putin was \u201cunforgivable\u201d.<\/p>\n

Not to miss out on the bashing theatre, UK Defense Secretary, Gavin Williamson, got even more insolent, Russia\u00a0\u201cshould go away and shut up\u201d<\/em>. In response to all this demonizing Russia for an alleged crime, for which absolutely no proof has been provided, Russia\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said that the undiplomatic comments meant that the British authorities are nervous and have\u00a0\u201csomething to hide,\u201d<\/em>. Lavrov also strongly objected, wanted to initiate a joint UK-Russia investigation into the case \u2013 is he dreaming? \u2013 and responded to a question of diplomatic retaliation, yes, that Russia will also expel UK diplomates \u2018soon\u2019.<\/p>\n
