At the worst possible political time (with the rapidly approaching World Cup), Russia must certainly have murdered (in the most blatant way possible) a former spy, using a nerve agent (that according to the OPCW Russia has already destroyed) because, well just because. They don't need a motive.
Ever get the feeling England is exacting revenge about not being awarded the World Cup ?
But surely there can't be anyone stupid enough to believe this latest round of WMD 2.0 bollocks. Well, apart from an army of English football hooligans (whose travel bans are expiring just in time), promising to "create a super-firm of thugs to sweep across Russia in a wave of organised chaos".
The weaponization of sport continues.
