truhlei, what do you think of the situation between England and Russia at the moment??
The main point for today is Litvinenko case.
I'll mention some facts and you will oppose me when I'm wrong.
1. Litvinenko was poisoned by polonium, that can be produced only in special and closed centers. That means that Lugovoy if his is guilty isn't alone: there are some influential forces behind him if he is murderer. If he is not guilty, well such forces still participated in the crime.
2. The goal was to make everybody knew that Litvinenko was killed by a strong clan. It is clear that sooner or later Patalogoanatomists could determine the reason of Litvinenko death. I shall reject all versions that polonium is a great secret poison nobodi is able to find . In some African province maybe yes but in Great Britain when such person dies and radioactive reason is evident as the only one sooner or later polonium is suspected. It was found quickli by chance, but don't forget: for 4 mounths polonium is active. My conclusion: the guilty clan planned the the public reaction beforehand and was interested in that.
3. It was not the murder in order to punish Litvinenko or fright other Litvinenkos. For that an ordinary murder was sufficient. All dissidents could understand the danger but of the murder it was quite possible to accuse smbd. else like Berezovski's.
4. President Putin was absolutely unintrested in such murder. He has a great raiting in Russia and Russians are ready to elect a man he chooses or to support the changes in Constitution that permit his third period. He doesn't need any conflict with the West to gain popularity.
5. So only two clans were interested in that:
An strong Russian clan that is interested in confrontation with the West militarization of Russia and putting today President and thu future one in dependence of enforcement bodies. IOf in this case Lugovoy isn't in prison yet, that means: authorities don't have enough force to fight against such clan.
The second suspected is a plot in the West that is also interested in European Union confrontation with different countries in order to keep popular attention away from EU problems.
The point is that independently upon the guilty part we can state only one thing They have achieved their main goal. Relations became worse.
I'm sure that was made against Putin and the future president
