The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin.
This is the conclusion of our Governments based on analyses of samples from Alexei Navalny. These analyses have conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine.
Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America. It is not found naturally in Russia.
Now what?
Do nothing. Be afraid of their own shadow, and do not provoke Russia, avoid conflict at any cost, do not help Ukraine (too much), and wait for the problem to solve itself. Call Putin a dozen of times, maybe.
Late, but OK…
Fake news -Trump, probably
at least they’re finally admitting that it wasn’t novichok… In 50 years maybe we’ll get to read about how this entire story was nonsense
I thought your instance wanted to avoid Feddit, just like a lot of dbzer0 users claim to.
if this instance has more of this obviously fake, state-department propaganda then yes i’ll block it the same way i blocked a half a dozen other servers for spreading easily debunked disinformation.
Recommend anyone still hypnotized by this low-effort propaganda to seek out dilyana from bulgaria and her impressive work explaining how the skripals were not poisoned by nerve agents at all. No chain of custody existed on the test results which supposedly confirmed nerve agent poisoning, symptoms and timeline don’t match nerve agent poisoning progression, and of course no supporting video evidence exists and also there are basic plotholes in much of the witness testimony.
Navalny was also not poisoned by novichok nerve agent. He would not have survived almost any dose of that substance and it’s hard to imagine how that poison could be delivered to him without also poisoning others. His symptoms were more consistent with prescription pill overdose, which a person might do if they’re attempting to kill themselves, which apparently he was quoted as saying before he boarded that flight.
With navalny it’s also likely that the OPCW participated in obscuring the gaps in the chain of custody of the lab results (which were also suspiciously delayed) The organisation for the prohibition of chemical weapons has a precedent for falsifying its results as demonstrated by the syrian gas attack false flag operation which they at first tried to expose but which was then covered up.
