    Sure didn't putin himself show renowned director Oliver Stone a video on his personal phone showing brave russian troops fighting against Isis in Syria .

    Except the video putin played to Oliver Stone was from an American Apache Gunships gun camera 4 years previously in Afghanistan and widely available on social media.

    Remember this one?
    Without being exhaustive, the list of scapegoats put forward by various Kremlin surrogates included a Ukrainian SU-25 or SU-27 fighter jet; an onboard bomb; a Buk missile but of a make and model that the Russians military claimed to no longer use, the implication being that it must have come from, and been operated by, the Ukrainian military.

    This google earth and photoshop job was offered as a satellite photo from Channel 1. Obviously this was before they concede that it was a BUK but not theirs. As I said many times, they want us to know that they are lying.

    Russia provided more photographs than just this one on their facebook.

    If It's on Facebook it must be true

    A civilian employee uploaded this picture and he was investigated for it. Russia provided more photographs than just this one on their facebook.
    Pull the other one.

    Didn't putin give a grand speech before about having evidence of Isis being supported by the west ,he had countries and the names of all involved .

    But then somehow conveniently forgot about his claims , about the same time as russian forces hit and destroyed a UN Aid Convoy with Airstrikes in Syria

    Why would they not say it was Novitchok if that's what they found? According to the UK, only Russia can make this nerve agent?

    By the way, there's a thread about the skripal poisoning on the Politics forum. The posting standard might not be to your liking, however.

    Porton Down. We don't the origin or the source of the chemical nerve agent. OPCW exact same as I predicted would be the case weeks ago (Russia could not be identified)

    Since we are lead to believe nobody has ever seen Novitchok. Should we just accept at face value this the same nerve agent the Soviet Union made? What makes them so sure they got a right match?

    OPCW is just accepting what the UK is telling them. OPCW has identified a chemical structure. The refuse to even mention Novichok in their public statement though keeping it classified, another trust us?

    Nothing from OPCW proves this was made by Russia anyone who says differently is full of ****.

    Are you now Claiming OPCW cannot be trusted to impartially investigate claims of chemical /weapons attacks

    That's not their job. They confirm what it is, not where it came from.

  • Registered Users Posts: 15,857 ✭✭✭✭Discodog


    Wrong the public release is on online. OPCW never not even one time mentioned Novichok. They said it was a toxic chemical that poisoned the Skiprals.

    UK government foreign ministry deleted their tweets blaming Russia!

    This really is getting to the point of trolling. You repeat the same thing over & over & over again whilst ignoring anything that's posted. I answered this several times but still you go on & on.

    So they agree with the UK that it was Novichok. Now please can you move on.

    That's not what I asked .

    You taking the UK word for it they found Novichok, I don't. Skiprals surviving proves this was not a military grade nerve agent at all, there is no antidote for it. OPCW is agreeing about the chemical structure of the nerve agent UK send to them.

    You continue to ignore blatant lies from the UK government, I have higher standards. The UK foreign ministry deleted a public tweet from Twitter blaming Russia, forget that already?

    It's forgotten because nobody in their right mind would use a statement by that lying buffoon to support anything. People believe it was Russia because Russia said that they would do it and have been doing it for years.

    Interesting change in tactics by Russia. We had the Ambassador waving copies of Alice in Wonderland at the UN. Then another Minister was talking about destroying missiles & their launch platforms. Next was Putin sounding conciliatory. Now it's Maria Zakharova sounding very charming on Sky News but insisting that Yulia has been abducted & imprisoned against her will. This is fascinating. According to her 20 countries made Novichok

    Anyone else care to answer a simple question regarding the OPCW

    Russia has gone from “There is no evidence of a chemical weapon attack in Syria” to “We have strong evidence that there was a chemical attack staged by a foreign power”

    And now they’re dissing the OPCW

    You couldn’t make this up!

    He's still a lying buffoon. You're going on about him as though he was the sole piece of evidence linking this to Russia. He's not and I don't consider his blaming Russia to be evidence of anything. I disregard his words entirely. Everything else about this case, however, stinks of pickles.

    So you accuse the UK of writing the OPCW report ? Or you don't believe the OPCW ?

    Sending the samples to four different accredited laboratories is not 'just accepting.'

    The OPCW confirmed the chemical was Novichok, by affirming the UK's determination. They said nothing about where the chemical was made, other than it was of very high purity which could only have been made by the facilities of a nation state.

    If the OPCW inspectors agree with Russia they will be venerated. If they disagree they are dismissed as liars.

    From a post I made earlier:
    The West: Syria used chemical weapons.

    Russia: There was no chemical weapons.

    Later...

    The West: Syria used chemical weapons.

    Russia: OK. We lie last time. It happen but it was ISIS. Really, we not lie now.

    Later still...

    The West: Syria used chemical weapons.

    Russia: OK. We lie last time and the time before that. But this time we tell truth. It was foreign Intelligence Service. Seriously, we not lie now for sure.

    Who the hell is advising Putin ? Does he really think that accusing the UK will be believed ? He accuses the UK & then asks the UK not to get involved in joint action.

    He is becoming a laughing stock
