The Russian state security service (most commonly known as the KGB) without question set the gold standard in its field, consistently out-performing its Western counterparts despite operating on a fraction of their budget. Unlike the CIA they managed to infiltrate spies everywhere, into the very heart of the Western security establishment, time after time. And boy could they kill. At the peak of Stalin's Terror they were offing 7,000 victims per day. That's over two million a year. Admittedly achieving these quotas for Stalin meant that many an ordinary Dzho-in-the-street out walking his dog got swept up, his evening disappointingly ending with a bullet in the head. But the KGB could also operate with surgical precision, clinically taking out heavily-guarded targets like Trotsky and Bandera.
Which makes the ineptitude of their efforts to murder Sergei Skripal and his daughter as well as Alexei Navalny all the more amazing. Bizarre use of radioactive toxin elements placed on doors or slipped into cups of tea at airports seemingly designed to fail, or at best partially succeed. They all failed. The victims are up and walking around. For such a dangerous monster Putin - for we're left in no doubt that the attacks were personally ordered by him - must be unhappy with his agents. But this raises an awkward question for the Deep State war-mongers and their media whores trying to provoke Russia: Is Putin grossly incompetent or an arch-villain about to take over the world? You can't have it both ways.
The whole blame-the-Russians ploy is laughably improbable for two reasons. First had the Russians wanted to kill Navalny and Skripal they could have made them disappear while they were still in Russia. Second, on the highly-improbable assumption that they blundered on that score, are we really saying that KGB assassins were incapable of cleanly taking out a couple of unguarded civilians walking around the streets? Sadly it seems the public are applying the same levels of forensic skills to this nonsense as they are to the Covid-19 scam, buying into it with their brains in neutral. Our overlords must be so pleased at the ease with which they can dupe the population.
Now if only Putin would play ball we'd have a nice World War III on our hands.
