Russians are dumb. Hopelessly stupid. They are amateurs of the worst kind. Ignoramuses on steroids. Why?
Well, for one, their so-called super-dooper biowarfare agent “Novichok” seems unable to kill anybody. The Russians must have realized that. This is why, when they tried to kill Skripal (after freeing him from jail) they put that Novichok thing all over the place: on the bench near Salisbury, on Skripal’s door handle, even in some bottle of perfume a local addict found in the trash. Probably all over the Skripal home, and this is why the Brits initially said that they would tear down the extremely toxic place (yet both the Skripal cat and their hamster survived – tells you how utterly useless that pretend biowarfare substance really was…).
One would have thought that after this total cluster-bleep the Russians would have learned their lesson.
But no. They are clearly too dumb for that.
So they decided to poison Alexei Navalnyi, a well-know “dissident”.
And they failed.
Again!
Not only did the use exactly the same “Novichok” (or so says the German media), they allowed Navalnyi’s aircraft to make an emergency landing and the FSB did nothing to prevent an ambulance to bring Navalnyi to a hospital. Apparently, the FSB does not even have the authority to prevent such urgent treatment of the man they want to kill. Heck, they can even create a traffic jam to prevent Navalnyi from getting to a hospital.
How incompetent!
Even worse, these accursed Russki doctors gave Navalnyi atropine, the exact same substance the Germans gave him. Makes me wonder if these doctors were not all CIA/BND agents trying to save Navalnyi’s life…
Clearly, the FSB are also stupid: they can’t even get aircraft or doctors to obey them…
But it gets worse. In spite of the fact that Navalnyi has broken the terms of his suspended sentence and in spite of the fact that such a person cannot leave the country, these Russian imbeciles allowed him to fly to Germany while his body was still full of Novichok sloshing around.
All the Russians needed to do to kill Navalnyi would have been to give him a heart attack using any one of the many untraceable agents in existence (say, potassium chloride).
In despair, the clueless FSB might have caused Navalnyi do die in a car “crash”.
But they can’t even do that. Shame on you, FSB!
And since Navalnyi is diabetic, killing him ought to be fantastically simple: just give him the wrong dose of meds and, voilà, bye-bye Navalnyi. But not, these idiots decided to use the now infamous Novichok.
Obviously, Russians are the dumbest, most incompetent, idiots on the planet! Russian special services and biological research institutes are especially known for the crass incompetence. Proof
They stole the Covid19 vaccine from the Brits, THEN they made it dangerous.
Idiots!
Right?!
Just like the so-called Russian hackers (another Russian category famous for its extremely low IQ!) could not even try to hack DNC computers or steal the 2016 election without leaving their Russian sounding aliases all over the place. Heck, these hackers even worked only during Moscow time office hours.
I am telling you – the Russians are fantastically stupid, the dumbest people on the planet.
Especially their intel and security officers, their biowarfare specialists and their hackers. Morons. All of them!
Let’s all repeat it together: the Russians are dumb! the Russians are dumb! the Russians are dumb!
That is very “highly likely”!
The Saker
What other conclusion could a rational person arrive at?
The facts are overwhelming.
Makes you wonder who really is making those rocket engines and missile defenses, the EW and radars that are the envy of the world.
Can’t be Real Russians.
I have good evidence that this is the identical poison that Romeo drank when he thought Juliet was deceased.
There are many patriots in this ancient play with a modern cast including Kamala, Mike Pence, Tucker, Chenk but they mostly end up on the point of a sword. How sad. The Montagues are the Reppublicans while the Capulets are the Democrats. ‘A curse on both their houses’ is Mercutio’s famous line. They all neglect to see the obvious Russian involvement in such a devious plot that only an US politician can discern.

What I notice is that sarcasm is no longer working. It has lost it’s punch. The all-out, worldwide totalitarian grab underway should shock any thinking person to the core. Implying that the “Russians are stupid” is just one example. The outrageous and ridiculous lies are all around us. The “woke” political correctness cannot even recall truth as a distant memory.
Formerly, sarcasm was a way to shake someone out of an inane point of view. Note that this technique is no longer effective across the growing divide. Now, sarcasm is reduced in its role to only function as in-group emphasis. No minds will be changed. Common ground in discourse has all but disappeared.
Unfortunately, those who work by dividing populations have become quite good at it. I think we are near the point where only humility before God can save us from insanity. As Daniel wrote: “…the wicked shall act wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
Well put, couldn’t agree more.
There is a huge difference between scarcasm as opposed wit and satire. Many years ago Shakespeare well knew the difference. I find it sad there are still some individuals that today cannot also understand. ‘Humility before God’ is often a cannard of those lacking in all types of humour and want every facet of human life to be as cheerful as living in darkness, under a huge rock surrounded by the forces of evil.
‘The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief.’ Shakespeare
cheers.
The planned events are sarcasm by the rulers towards the ruled.
Sarcasm is becoming the “New Normal”.
Lately the events are neither original nor well planned out.
COVID-19, the super deadly virus that is just another flu.
Novichok, the deadly nerve toxin that isn’t.
“It didn’t kill the Skripals, let’s try it on Navalnyi.”
“Nobody will know it was us, boss.”
“Pinky and the Brain” intelligence agencies.
“Gee, Brain, what do you want to do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night, Pinky – try to take over the world!”
Some time ago a colleague asked me about setting up some event at which we would satirise the Russophobes. My thought was that that simply isn’t possible. They themselves will now believe anything whatsoever from Putin weponising humour to that smearing Noviochok on the door handle requires the roof to be replaced. Satire is impossible.
Either that or this lot of Russians are but suicidal self-loathing Russophobes who bent over backwards to incriminate themselves six ways from Sunday in a messy attempt to kill a favorite Western celebrity victim, with no standing, influence or accomplishment, whose supposedly violated body they turn over to their most dedicated enemies to be conveniently used in evidence against themselves.
Next thing you know Washington will be demanding that Navalny, or his corpse, should become the Juan Guaido of Russia and Putin must go. Meanwhile, when America decides it wants a war, it will stop at nothing to get that war. Since this is war, perhaps Russia should stop selling all energy products to any vassal state of Washington. There is enough demand in China and India alone to completely write off all Western markets. Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, What Washington wants is not to buy your natural resources but to take them from you. Here in America, we see these con artists at the top punking our own people for everything they’re worth every day of the week. Surely their stench carries all the way to Moscow. Smells like… death.

Beautiful sarcasm by The Saker. As I have written before, Western intelligence services and media must be using experts in World War One propaganda to vilify Russia. This propaganda is so infantile and transparent that it makes you wonder who works in Western centers of power. For example, that silly false flag in England turned into a black comedy. The Skripals were ostensibly poisoned with military nerve gas, yet survived. A mere two grams of military nerve gas can kill 500 people. Where were all the bodies ? What is even more incredible is that two years later the Germans give a repeat performance, again stating that Novichok was used. However, Navalny, the two bit blogger and politician, is still alive. It would appear that the West is running out of ideas when it comes to vilifying Russia.
It brings to mind the wonderful piece of “writings on Russia and her Intelligence” by the unrepeatable Luke Harding of the Guardian {UK}. Especially wonderful was when he claimed that he knew Russian Intel was spying on him while he was in Moscow, partly because they invaded his bedroom “and left behind a book on sexual technique” !!
I nearly fell off my chair laughing.
I find Luke Harding, like his bride-of-Frankenstein, Masher Gessen, so loathsome and despicable as to be armored against ridicule and reason alike. I suspect all decent people have by now practiced the old English adage in their case of; though not smashing a face in, never inviting it to dinner either.
What do you think about the Dutch ambassador who was kidnapped by two electricians who duck tapped him to a chair and who wrote lgbt on his mirror in the bath room 3 hours later he was freed by probably the same electricians takes a while to change clothes😂😂😂
Re. “…infantile and transparent…”
Hey! That’s me? Errr…us! Our populace in America has overdosed on digital drugs and is starved for knowledge and rationality. If a 10-cent lie will do the trick, why build an expensive lie that will be logical-seeming and therefore hard to understand. The Empire has been educated to accept shouting and pointing as Truth. Why waste the outcome of our education system?
Time for our bread and circus. I have to go outside and point at Russia and shout, “They did it!”
What I find so revealing Larchmonter, is that HOW a person {s} interpret certain events and facts shows us what it is that they have between their ears.
The very fact that so many people of influence appear to interpret Russia and events linked to her in the utterly absurd, nutty way they do, trying to portray Russians as they do, actually says nothing about Russia or her leaders to anyone with 2 brain cells still rubbing together — but Boy oh Boy, does it tell us everything we could want to know about the level of brain synapsing going on in the those who voice their mad ideas.
And, chillingly, to have to face the fact, that those with barely the sense God gave a lemon have access to nuclear buttons!!!
Must be Jewish scientist doing that
The real Russians emmigrated to Izraeli-held cocoons in the 1980-ies and continued their sabotage.
Actually, those rocket engines, missile defenses, EW and hypersonic weapons were all created by German scientists the Russians captured after WW II. The indigenous Soviet scientists all defected and were the ones who really designed the Challenger, Aegis, the F-35, the Gerald Ford’s catapult and littoral combat ships. They were so busy they didn’t have time to work on rocket engines.
Saker – here we have another nice and very sarcastic analysis of the whole issue ….
Sorry to say – but this time even better than yours …. ;-)
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/navalny-novichok-poisoning-very-unlikely-story-so-far
If this would not lead to the planned and intended further deterioration of the relations between Germany and Russia, we would all have a good laugh.
On the other hand – shows clearly, that the Empire is running out of options against Russia – they are desperate. No ideas – no clue – no strategy. Only bullying. This the good part of this story!
For Russia the meaning is: there is no such thing as „partners“ in the West.
There will be no business development with the West.
Russia needs to focus on Asia and South America – and on herself!

Oh what a surprise – he’s out of the coma – a few days after the declaration he was poisoned with a military grade agent:
https://www.rt.com/russia/500062-condition-of-russian-opposition-figure/
“Alexey Navalny is out of a medically induced coma and is being weaned off mechanical ventilation, according to Berlin’s Charité hospital, where the Russian opposition figure is undergoing treatment for potential poisoning…..and responding to verbal stimuli…”
Wonders will never cease!
Alexey in the guise of Navalny but in reality the poor boy Romanov — once again healed by Rasputin, methinks.
Beyond belief Hermany saying it has found the N on his skin…referring to a bottle he drank from so claimed…so probably his hands .so aeroplane furniture seat belt toilet door and toilet would have been contaminated and so would everyone else touching those.
So surely while for 44 hours being treated in Omsk he would have repeatedly washed down…so this finding the N on his skin is impossiible …..so now it is just like Salisbury….after days of snow rain etc….no one else nearby getting contaminated from touching the door handle yet the N found on the door knob later. Unbelievable.
I still do not understand what the west has to gain by organizing these stupid false flags and ridiculous accusations.
They will put new sanctions say that russians and putin are even more evil than they already were and so what? By doing what they are doing western leaders are pushing russia to cooperate even more with countries like Iran Syria China Venezuela and so on.
What is their strategy? Do they have a strategy?
Am I missing something?
I simply do not understand where the west wants to go.
Dear Saker do you have any idea? I am lost right now.
The Anglo strategy has been for centuries to demonize the enemy. (Spain, France, Germany, Soviet Union,etc). It worked very well many times.
This time is not going to work but they do not know it YET.
A couple of centuries of Anglo domination are coming to an end. If we are lucky enough, in the next 10-20 years.
The US is desperately trying to sabotage the Nord Stream 2 deal between Russia and Germany. That’s all.
No, this Germany sabotaging its own relationship and its own Nordstream deal with Russia.
But what is “Germany”? Not the millions of German citizens who have no direct or reliable information about any of those events.
Just a select handful of Germans who have interests of their own to pursue – whether that be ensuring a nice retirement fund, avoiding an unexpected “heart attack” or fall down stairs, or perhaps keeping their families (relatively) safe.
When a handful of people do odd things, one should not blame it on “Germany”.
That’s a given. My point was this scandal is home-grown I.e. German, not British or American.
It s not the US which is pushing the poisoning thing. It s Germany itself which is doing it.
For what? I Don t get it. There are no elections in Russia right now there are no chemical weapons red lines in Syria. Are Germany and Poland trying to soften russia s position regarding Belarus? Very strange strategy.
Possibly the vaccine! 300 Million € yet from the German Government for Curevac, up to 750 Million € will be poured into it. US already sanctions the russian enterprise developing a vaccine (on the very same day of Nawalny’s plot). How long until the Germans and the EU does the same?
I thought about that possibility. But the US and the EU would nt have bought the sputnik V anyway new sanctions or not. And those sanctions won t prevent Iran and other countries from buying it.
The only thing I get is that the west wants to further escalate the situation. It s not a good thing at all.
But 27 other countries did!
At Least 27 Countries to Buy Russian Coronavirus Vaccine 26 AUG 2020
https://russiabusinesstoday.com/health/at-least-27-countries-to-buy-russian-coronavirus-vaccine/
I would disagree, Merkel is just surrendering to Washington’s demands. This is their show, not hers. As you point out, she has absolutely no reason to sabotage German Russian relations. specially now. On the other hand, remember what was said not long ago, that the NSA had spied on her. To put it bluntly, maybe they just reminded her of the proverbial pictures they had and that did the trick. As Sherlock Holmes said, once you eliminate the impossible, what still remains is the answer, no matter how improbable it may seem.
@Gatobart: “Merkel is just surrendering to Washington’s demands. This is their show, not hers.”
Correct me if I am wrong, but is not Germany still under U$ military occupation “de jure” — in law under WW2 terms of unconditional surrender — as well as obvious “de facto” U$ boots on the ground?
Nick, I agree. Merkel was never “unsurendered” in general terms. The only thing she stood her ground on was Nord Stream II. She had no choice because she was/is under extreme pressure from her companies, and possibly Minsk Agreements. The secret deals are never talked about in public, hence the “Secret”. Now we have failed attempt in BeloRus, possibly Donetsk in the next few days, some other thing had to happen. Hence as Sacker said “lets make the Russians do another supid thing”.
The point to this stupidity is not really the stupidity, but extreme arrogance and belief that people are so entrenched in their “i-phones” they walk around like zombies and buy any BS story.
Sacker, your article was just perfect. So, NS-II is supposed to go on line in December? We shall see.
Which is precisely my point. Since May of 1945 It has NEVER been Germany’s show. Never in History puppets have ran their own show.
But this has brought to my mind also a spooky coincidence, one of many: This “Putin poisoned Navalny” thing comes out at the same time when the prestigious medical publication The Lancet has announced or was about to announce that the Sputnik V vaccine was 100% efficient to fight COVID19 and we all know that Hell hath no fury like a checkmated U.S. of A.
I am not sure but I think Russia is in a build-up to regional elections.
Still my bet is it is likely Nordstream II or an attempt to divert attention from the Belarus or both. Assuming Serbian girl is correct, and, I see her point, it is likely Nordstream or an internal political fight
“It s not the US which is pushing the poisoning thing. It s Germany itself which is doing it.” Of course it is the US who is pushing this. The Germans are just following orders, like they did in the last 75 years.
Germany is not only USraeli-occupied territory but it has received the full brunt of all CIA social engineering and mind control experiments starting in 1945. Though, consequently, they are monsters, they are sad monsters and pitiable indeed.
They are priming the public to accept a big false flag… possibly nuking a US city (remember those missing nukes from Andrews Air Force Base years back?).
Imagine… a city gets nuked, the immediate suppled ‘evidence’ is Russia did it and Trump is pressured to respond rapidly and hard otherwise he is “proving” he is Putin’s bitch 🙄
@Struth: “remember those missing nukes from Andrews Air Force Base years back?”
Thanks for this info. I have often wondered where Iran could have bought the nukes for her precision guided missiles. I had actually toyed with the idea that Iran may have bought them on the Anglo Israeli military surplus black market, but dismissed the idea as too fantastic — until reading about ‘those missing nukes’.
Maybe Israel bought them? What do u think?
See Chomsky’s excellent doco ‘Manufacturing Consent’. Worth every minute!
Before the the A-Z empire attacks its next target it has to demonize that country and that country’s leader!
Regards
The west goes in public where they are being lead in private. Since privately they are being forced into a responsibility corner, they publically respond to this as something harmful to them and as such create a moment to provide a justification and response for the corner they are trapped in.
I read something about “Operation Beluga” and it isn´t about that caviar :)
https://www.quora.com/What-is-Operation-Beluga
I don´t know anything more about it
Of course, maybe it doesn’t have any “reason”. It’s tempting to find something we can find logical, i.e. “it’s a deliberate ploy to destroy Northstream 2; no,it’s to stop Russia preventing a take over of Belorussia; no it’s just the Americans threatening….etc, etc”.
There is also the sad possibility that i’s just that the leadership of Germany right now is very very stupid, that it’s just a knee jerk “standard response, a case of “do what we did before, attack Russia, — what’s that? Novichok? Ohe yes, of course, say it’s Novichok”
No rationale, no reason, nothing but blind, stupid, knee jerk reactivity.
These games are not directed at Russia and Russians. They are directed at dumb and dumber all over the west to keep them down and out. The same as COVID lock ups and arrests of pregnant women. It is a cynical exercise of power over one’s life, well under way reintroduction of serfdom, you name it. It’s ultimate purpose is to test the boundaries of one’s patience, resilience and tolerance towards excesses, plunders, and yes, upcoming wars. Elites in the west know exactly what they are doing. The fact that we are talking about this and wandering “why” is already a form of success.
They feel if they lie first then it puts their opponents on the defensive! It is in their doctrine!
Laurenton, do not look for logic in the actions of psychopaths, especially when they have received enormous power into their own hands. For any psychopath to start hating you enough for you to do things your way, not the way he wants, it works that way at the grassroots level, it works the same way at the very top.
It’s insulting to people in the west that any intel people would think that such a ridiculous story about Navalny would fool anyone.
Then again, they appear to know their audience, having prepped them with multiple rounds of Novichok, Russiagate, etc. They haven’t offered evidence for any of these allegations yet they’re still repeated daily throughout western media.
“It’s insulting to people in the west that any intel people would think that such a ridiculous story about Navalny would fool anyone.”
This is also psychological warfare against people in the west. The message is: “We will do whatever we want, you cannot do anything to stop it” . The story needs to be totally ridiculous to get this power message across, if it was not ridiculous it could be rationalised as something meaningful instead of being pure projection of power.
Insightful. Totally agree with you.
“they appear to know their audience”
To “know your audience” does not necessarily include to “know the significance of your audience”.
To be thought stupid has many advantages facilitated by being stupid.
https://www.rt.com/shows/renegade-inc/499878-america-empire-fall-discussion/
For information by reading Tass I learned that today russia scrambled 8 fighter jets to intercept us planes over the black sea (4 SU27 and 4 SU30).
I think it s the first time so many jets are raised in the sky at the same time to intercept foreign planes. It seems the escalation continues. It s sad.
https://tass.com/defense/1197589
This false flags are getting so “dumb and dumber” it makes one wonder: what if it is on purpose? What if Empire is testing how stupid, demoralized and gullible its subjects are? What kind of stupidity you can still get away with, force down people’s throats? Because, while I do not believe Russians are idiots, I can hardly believe CIA are (at least so much).
The main target of this is the propagandized American voter, Trump is soft on Putin!
I have the theory that bad propaganda actually works better than good propaganda because your brain works harder to justify the bad stuff. However, I don’t have the background in psychology to be certain.
psychopaths use that trick often – even Goebbels recommended it: when you lie – lie outrageously
I think they do it because they have learned that normal (non-psycho) people tend to find it very hard to believe that anyone normal would even try to lie so much – so it seems easier to believe it than to accept/consider that possibility – that someone is so evil/manipulative to even try to lie so outrageously.
At least it confuses normal people – that’s why psychopaths worldwide (especially Jews ) have made it the key tool in their arsenal of predatory dirty tricks they use against humanity
That thing about Goebbels lying and repeating lies so they become truth….Goebbels never said that.
Actually Britons were the ones claiming that Goebbels was doing it. Maybe some 25 years from now kids in the school will learn that Russians were so clumsy, they couldn’t poison anybody.
Dear I. Vuksanoviḉ;
.
. I have long since reached another conclusion: Atlanticist stupid stories might be a testing ground device to map and record the names of men and women (and even teenagers!) who are smart and brave enough to call the obvious huax, so as to attack such-alikes as us at any later stage or simply round us up.
.
. In ancient China there was a prime minister who wanted to know which of the courtiers would blindly side with him in any dispute. Once when travelling through the hunting park, the King said: “look at all those fine harts (deer)!” The P.M. sayd “Those arent harts, but horses”. The King asked the courtiers for their opinions of what they saw, and they unanimously declared they saw hordes in the distance — and not harts. Thenc and thus the expression “See hart, say horse”.
.
. Nowadays, most all Atlanticist media adhere to “Seing hart, saying horse” as part of their hogwash and bull-droppings media role for those who rule them.
.
. I believe very many have wised up and act like the courtiers so as to not endanger their career advancement,
. I believe they being so vary is a major ground for most critical truthful comments come from elderly men.
.
Love the analysis!
Patrick Armstrong also had a very good one posted on his website https://patrickarmstrong.ca/
Thank you for making my weekend!
And of course…the claims that being treated in Omsk was for the 44 hours so that all traces of the chemical were being removed and his system expelling the poisen so no evidence would be found…also shows how inept Russian doctors really are as Germany claims it has found evidence on his skin….blood urine etc…….duh .
Hahaha Saker!
Isn’t it strange how Navalny keeps getting himself “poisoned”…this is not his first time …?
Ha Ha good one Saker :),
Yes the Russians are the dumbest idiots on the planet. They allowed a court case to be brought to sue the Government for the poisoning of Nalvany by his own supporters – right after the Germans claimed he was poisoned by Novichok. Aren’t they now worried about their own safety too?
Diddums, it was thrown out by the beastly court as the investigations haven’t been finished yet – but who cares – he was poisoned by a nerve agent found in his urine, skin, blood and a bottle was brought by his family – but no one else was affected by this deadly nerve agent!
Apparently the fact that President Putin is reluctant to utter his name is now being compared to the mean and nasty Lord Voldermort in Harry Potter. (The Guardian)
Madness will never cease.
Merkel wants to win the war against Russia:
“I am a hundred percent convinced that with our principles, we will win.”
http://german-foreign-policy.com/en/fulltext/58825

In thier strategy papers German governments openly demand:
“expansion to the East”
“outwards it is essential to achieve something whereby we have failed twice before”
“Maintenance of free world trade and the unchecked access to markets and raw materials all over the world”
“Without Germany it is impossible to integrate the East European peoples.”

“Hard power politics – Clausewitzian influence over alienated state regimes. Some alien-
ated regimes will still exist in 2020 – the key uncertainty here being the Kremlin. If so, we will need to retain a capability to meet their deliberate challenges to our vision of the world. This will require hard military power, but also an increased focus on asymmetrical forms of destruction, notably in the cybersphere. This is of major concern to the East-
ern members of the EU, and if the ESDP is unable to provide this then they will turn to NATO or directly to the US.”

Come on, give them some credit–at least they know how to rig US elections.
And speaking of election rigging, has anyone noticed that the last fake news about Trump is identical in style to the Navalny fake news? On the front page of Yahoo news there’s this gem:
“Trump called US Marines killed in WWI battle ‘losers’: report”
Notice that “report” doesn’t appear until the very end of the headline. The article is just like the Navalny stuff: zero proof offered, copious amounts of accusations, 100% anonymous sources…and we are simply expected to believe it.
Unfortunately for Trump, by calling John McCain and Bush Sr. losers for getting shot done, he made the allegation credible. I don’t like claims made from anonymous sources, especially when they originate from former Israeli prison guard Jeffry Goldberg at Atlantic Monthly, but I would not be at all surprised if Trump said those words.
This is off-topic. Please take to a relevant post or the MFC. Mod.
It reminds me of the time I saw an interview with some Danish military-expert who said the following, right when Russia got involved in Syria:
“Jamen, Putin kan jo alligevel ikke noget med alt det gamle skrammel…”
TRANSLATION:
“Putin can’t do anything with all that old junk…”
(So the sentiment expressed here is basically: Russians are a bunch of vodka-binging morons who drive around in rusty, old, Soviet-era tanks, cause….you know, they’re fu**in’ Russkies!)
Mama mia, que un stronzo! :-D
You don’t get it. Luke Harding explained it all in the Guardian. The Russians want everyone to be scared, really scared, that they can do this and can do it again and don’t care what the world thinks.
The Russians are in yer face hard nuts and the west is terrified.
That is why Boris and other world leaders keep talking about it…. Damn that doesn’t work either
this last hand of Merkel´s is proof that Germany´s deep state is irredeemably anti-Russian and vengeful.
Was letting him go to Germany a good idea ?
The “funniest” thing about this is that until 2018, Novichok was understood to be a hoax perpetrated by soviet scientist Vil Mirzayanov who defected to USA. In 2008, he decided to write a book to make some money (it’s titled State Secrets: An Insider’s Chronicle of the Russian Chemical Weapons Program), but most of its claims were either vague or never proven. Even Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) didn’t believe him. In fact, up to 2018, OPCW official reports mention word “Novichok” only 3 times, and 2 of them dismiss it as unproven. They are from years 2010, 2011 and 2013, you can google them yourself if you use this as search term:
novichok site:https://www.opcw.org/ filetype:pdf before:2018-01-01
But of course, then came the alleged Skripal poisoning and all western presstitutes and political whores suddenly became experts on Novichok and just 100% knew it came from those darn Russkies…
It amazes me how a large proportion of western citizens can be so propagandized as to believe such nonsense as the Skripal affair, MH17 political theater, and now, Navalny. What amazes me further is how western governments can stand before the world and proclaim Russian Novichok charges, Russian election interference, and Russian aggression without the slightest sense of embarrassment. The west needs to realize, they should never allow their ego and emotions to override their intelligence. Otherwise, they may create a conflict they ill-prepared to contest.
Um, slight correction, the hamsters died and the cat was put down.
The hamsters were actually guinea pigs. The guinea pigs died from thirst and starvation. The cat was found in such an emaciated state – a couple of weeks into March 2018 – that it was put down. All three pets were incinerated at Porton Down.
This happened in spite of a plea by the local Salisbury vet to Wiltshire police to bring the animals to him so they could be cared for.
Hmm… Maybe the low-dosage Novichok agent supposedly administered to Alexei Navalny will cause him to vanish into thin air just like the Skripals, both father and daughter never to be heard from again. Also vanishing into thin air is any pretense of veracity on the part of the Western powers, not that there was much to begin with.
One must wonder if the NSII was not a setup from the start: get the Russians to waste billions on building it and renewing their contract with the Ukraine, then cancel it at the last minute over some random fake scandal.
Local elections are coming up in Russia, so I suspect that the NSII will be cancelled as closed as possible for maximum effect.
“novichok” drugs are acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEI). Here is a list of pharmaceutical AChEI :
https://www.drugs.com/drug-class/cholinesterase-inhibitors.html
Pharmaceutical use of AChEI and side effects:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetylcholinesterase_inhibitor
The stuff was in his hands? Maybe Navalny overdosed on AChEI pills. The effects of overdosing pharmaceutical AChEI are similar to military nerve agents but, unlike the later, are reversible (atropine easily reverses it). Pharma “novichok” poisoning is not deadly, if treated soon enough.
I believe one person, Dawn Sturgess, did lose her life because of the ‘chemical in the perfume bottle’.
Dawn Sturgess probably died from taking contaminated drugs. The local police were circulating warnings on social media about a batch of contaminated hard drugs at the time. After her death, the police searched her home a second time and discovered the “perfume bottle” sitting in plain sight in the kitchen.
These Russians man! They should have talked with North Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Kim_Jong-nam) about poisoning with nerve agents… How come none of the individuals targeted and poisoned with deadly Novichok have died? That is crass incompetence.
Or they should have had a chat with Saudi Arabia on how to lure, kill, and disappear a person (Khassoghi) and have the world completely forget that such a crime was ever committed.
Incompetence through and through…
I’m glad you mentioned this earlier and more bizarre (yet successful) poisoning, implicating another “enemy of the empire” that at the time required imminent demonising.
Like Russia in the Skripal & Navalnyi cases, the DPRK has denied any involvement, there was nothing for them to gain from Kim Jong-nam’s demise other than notoriety.
It is interesting that the actual assassins have been set free, in a country that has mandatory death for murder. Perhaps in return for their fingering of the politically correct.
The hands behind them could just as easily been South Korean, Canadian, or even United States of American.
Quite possibly the “Free Joseon” group who with CIA backing had raided NK’s Madrid embassy.
Cui bono.
Apparently asking the question “Cui bono?” is a definite sign of being a Russian troll/bot:

Unfortunately wars start on these type of narratives and mask the real problems facing the planet the politics and brutal destructiveness of neoliberal economics!
Here is the view of a former British ambassador, Mr Craig Murray. He is not really sympathetic to Russia but is antiwar and was fired by Tony Blair for highlighting torture by UK ally Uzbekistan. He is also trying to defend himself from a charge related to his highlighting the inconsistency in more than a dozen rape/sexual assault allegations against former first Minister of Scotland, Alex Salmond (Salmond was cleared).

Y aunque se lo propongan no solamente son incapaces de matar a alguien que no tiene sistema de seguridad como, digamos cualquier líder político latinoamericano, no, es que le atinan a personajes que para nada sirven en la política rusa, pero que son reconocidos únicamente en la esfera “occidental”. A pesar de que los laboratorios rusos acaban de ganar la carrera en la producción de vacunas contra el covid 19, esos mismos laboratorios son incapaces de generar un nuevo veneno para matar opositores. Ahí sí estoy de acuerdo en que el presidente Putin tiene que echar a esos directores de laboratorios gubernamentales buenos para nada. Que se lean la historia de Atila a ver con que fue que lo envenenaron.
Yo repito con el Sacro: “Los rusos son tontos”, pero le añado, “Los de la OTAN son Idiotas”.
Google translation,MOD:
And even if they propose to do so, they are not only incapable of killing someone who does not have a security system like, let’s say any Latin American political leader, no, it is that they hit characters who are useless in Russian politics, but who are recognized only in the “western” sphere. Despite the fact that Russian laboratories have just won the race in the production of vaccines against covid 19, those same laboratories are unable to generate a new poison to kill opponents. There I do agree that President Putin has to fire those directors of good-for-nothing government laboratories. Let them read Attila’s story to see what it was that they poisoned him with.
I repeat with the Sacro: “Russians are stupid,” but I add, “NATO’s are Idiots.”
I wonder how this affair will influence the RF leadership who know the facts.
I am minded of the Sherlock Holmes “The Norwood Builder” – wherein the bloody thumb-print was decisive. Assuming you know the story, from the viewpoint of President Putin and the Russian State the novochok etc claims are decisive in the same way. They know Gospodin N left RF in a non-poisoned state. Thus they know this is an assault in modern war. And thus, it seems to me, they are that much more confident that kenetic attack are more proximate that they used to be.
Of course the 3 B-52 today and all the sigent activity and the nazi buildup and Belarus trickpony show, and maybe even the CV19 all add up too.
And the soon to be not decided “election” farce adds seasoning.
I shall be delighted if there is no hotwar direct ‘tween eagle and bear. And surprised.
Got some good points there sir. War drums are getting louder and louder.
I also immediately recalled the “Norwood Builder” story. this is really a lot like it, except that the organizers are even much dumber than Jonas Oldacre.. they really do not “have that supreme gift of the artist, the knowledge
of when to stop.”
Very well said Saker;
The best “weapon” against the 3-letter agencies is sardonic humor. I do believe the Soviet system succumbed to the very same “weapon”. Oh, not the stuff broadcast on RFE, no not that, the Russians “peasants” themselves concocted a far more deadly variety.
Enjoy this Labor Day Week-end but…keep the sardonic humor rolling.
S Brennan
Actually Andrei, they’re very smart.They’ve invented a Novichok that can selectively target a victim.
Consider. ONLY Navalyilny exhibited symptoms on the plane. The Novichok then went quiescent when he was examined in hospital in Omsk, the doctors finding nothing.
THEN, afterwards in Berlin, the Novichok sensed it had crossed the border, cleverly re-manifested itself again.
Brilliant!!
Umm..
It must be a Sergei Skripal’-type-renegade!!
It changed its mind and upon reviewing blandishments from Uncle Schmuel, decided to join the free world’s rules-based order.
Hey, Stupid,
Check this out,
Measures to be taken over biological weapons threat, says Russian defense chief
Have a nice evening, ladies. 😙
Saker, please, if the Russians are dumb … then it suggests the Germans are blithering imbeciles, with the rest being pea-brained neanderthals. No public shaming please. Have a care at ze angry Germans.
P.S. Also, please drop a suggestion to Putin to send Novichok creator(s) to the gulag in Siberia. This level of fail cannot be tolerated by Russia.
But Saker, you never answered the question cui bono.
Whoever allowed Navalny to leave Russia should be sent to Siberia to count trees.
On a non sarcastic note, yes it seems really to be superbly stupid to allow a patient in a very severe condtion and citizen of Russia to be flown to a foreign (proven hostile) country.
IF this citizen dies in that said hostile foreign country, his lawyers could very well sue the State for negligence to protect a citizen of russia from the malice practices induced by a foreign hostile country.
Some times it is really, really very difficult to understand the russians…., the same in talking of ‘partners’ all the time. Timidity towards a pack of wolfes WILL kill the bear, by the use of a thousand cuts strategem, and then eat him still alive…..the bowels first.
The Russians may be the smartest people in the world and Americans might be the dumbest but in one way theyb are the same you will never win an argument with either side.
Here are two irrefutable facts:
a) Navalny fell ill during that flight across Russia
b) Navalny has not died from that illness, whatever it might be.
Taken together those two facts means that this sentence can not possibly be true: “Novichok is the deadliest nerve agent known, and the Russians slipped some of it into Navalny’s tea!!!!!”
Either Novichok is uber-uber deadly, in which case Navalny’s continued breathing attests to the fact that whatever ails him, it hasn’t been induced by slipping some Novichok into his tea.
Or Navalny really was poisoned with Novichok, in which case his failure to expire means that Novichok has nothing like the super-deadly characteristics that have been claimed by the Western media.
You can have one, or you can have the other, but you can’t have both.
Shifting the focus temporarily from this totally imbecilic ’Novichok’ screamfest by the Euro-trash, let’s try to answer a bigger question brought about by the heading:
”Russians are the dumbest idiots on the planet!”
The question I was thinking of is What is it that fuels the Russophobia among the West’s so-called elites?
Of course, it goes without saying that the Russophobia is real, not phoney. Their conceptions, as always, are accompanied by racial slurs and horror stories like the shit currently on display. And my answer is that if there’s something which infuriates them totally, it’s Russia’s ability to just outperform them in spite of all their global oppression and coercion. Put bluntly:
When Russia has strong, perspicacious leaders such as Stalin and Putin, the West’s leaders and vassals are seen for the mental and moral midgets that they are. What is especially crucial now is the issue of their sub-standard propaganda. If they believe that their Skripal/Navalny/Pindo election meddling hogwash will prevail eventually against the backdrop of neoliberal decomposition, greed, and incompetence, they are just arrogantly overestimating their strength. The compound so-called is the dirty little secret about these ’elites’. Their Russophobia makes very much sense in this light.
I have an idea: The Russians should start advertising ’Novichok’ in English — of course with a fair commission to the ”star” himself. Here goes:
Isn’t it gorgeous, Navalny’s ••••
It’s juicy and oozy with Novichok!
Given the average Westerner’s flair for this kind of ”messages”, I don’t believe Russophobia will be a problem. Even Trump might give it a try before slamming some ”sanction” upon it, naming it the Protecting Russian Dissident’s Nether Regions Act.
This will keep going and on untill Vlad sends a hypersonic gift upon these degenerates ….
Well, you know, a two seconds of clear thinking with a cool head would discard most of such propaganda.
But the writers count on exact opposite, not very clear heads swayed by fears. Like xenophobic ones, or name them, the people are an assorted collection.
I hope that these batch of leaders wil be replaced by competent people soon.
The batch of leaders in Washington are only going to get worse if (more like when) Biden wins. The man has already stated several times that he intends to punish Putin for all the imaginary charges levied against him by Washington once he and Kamala have the power. Biden talks like the warmonger he has always been. He and Killary are two of a kind, their bellicosity being a much more dangerous trait than their crypto-racism, sexism, graft and corruption. They threaten only America with most of that ensemble, but they threaten the future of the world with their barbarous militarism.
The Western press invents these cause beli that onley an idiot would commit at that moment in time. If one examines any one of these events attributed to Russia, Sadat, Milosevic, Maduro, Castro or any other leader or nation the supposed perpatrator was doing it when he had nothing to gain. The accuser was always using the event to justify their own criminality and yet many idiots who read New York Times Or Washington Post or the Economist swallow the bait. People tell small lies so they bealieve big ones and we know who said that
I suppose the dumb Russians should have asked Hillary how to kill people and get away with it.
This satirical piece reminds me of hearing that Korans and flight manuals were found in abandoned cars at the Boston airport. And that bad guy passports were found on the grounds outside the WTC buildings. It is pathetic that some humans believe this stuff. Personally, I find the Easter Bunny more believable.
Apparently acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, a category from which Navalny was allegedly poisoned with, can also be used as a cure for diabetes:
https://europepmc.org/article/PAT/CN1709508
References to similar based drugs for dementia alzheima etc…plus can be used when a patient is intubated…..comment 149 on moon alabama article 2nd Sept explains the medical treatment N would have recieved. How clever or-?- to treat correctly N with the same kind of chemicals that he and friends and doctors accuses of being poisened with…
.but at this time,” the statement obtained [by Izvestia reads]. Deputy of the municipality of Yaroslavl, M.D., surgeon Dmitry Petrovsky commented on this “find” of German colleagues. “Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used medicines in medicine. Basically, they are used in the postoperative management of patients, when transferring to independent breathing. That’s what Navalny had. He was first on ventilator and when trying to translate it, could use the drug Proserin. It is a cholinesterase inhibitor that is officially administered to all patients when transferred to independent breathing. It must be used. I think it was used. But I also understand that, most likely, he had to shine as Proserin’s German colleagues. Perhaps used not Proserin in its pure form, but another drug, more rare – Ubretide, which is also an absolutely official drug, which is used in intensive care, in postoperative practice to prevent bladder atony, to prevent bowel atony and, accordingly, widely used. But, I admit, it can be used little in Germany, and it was not in the toxicology kit, so they could be surprised, and because of this all the cheese-bor. What they found in Navalny cholinesterase inhibitors after being in intensive care is normal. They should be in the man who was in intensive care and was on ventilator. If they weren’t there, it would be strange, I’d be surprised. When a person breathes with the help of the ventilator, various disorders develop, including respiratory, cardiovascular, with the intestines, with the bladder. Various drugs are used to prevent these disorders, including cholinesterase inhibitors. And if the doctor finds them in the analysis of the person after a stay in the operating room and concludes that he was poisoned, then the conclusion is: either it is a political order, or an illiterate doctor,” Dmitry Petrovsky said in a commentary for “Journalist Truth”.
Ok, thanks Saker for the delicious satire. It is like an invitation to turn it on its head.
*If* the Russians ain’t stupid, they ain’t naïve, either. Lukashenko knows –I am assuming that the community here has kept abreast of the news – that the immediate point of the Navalny-farce is Belarus-Russia. So, Navalny gets sick, get into a Russian hospital, he’s cared for, the Russians get some sample-material to keep in their back pockets. Then the naïve Russians let Angela Merkel hijack Navalny back to Germany –yeah, sure, he is her asset, going all the way back to Kyiv-Maidan. Really, the Russians were gullible and just let him go?
No, Dear Frau Kanzlerin, ensconced at the temporary headquarters of the Obama-Gang in Berlin, called the Chancellery: You are being played. Putin had you gamed out long before that short telephone call when he just told you in short sentences: Keep your hands off Belarus. And actually, Frau Kanzlerin. Someday you will figure out that Lukashenko has been gaming you and the EU for a long time as well. You wanted and planned in detail to do to Belarus what you only partially succeeded in doing to Ukraine. Assuming that your opponent in the chess game is stupid, is stupid, Frau Kanzlerin, but Putin probably didn’t tell you that… yet.
While I was pondering how to sketch my ideas on this, I came across two recent articles by Tom Luongo (https://tomluongo.me/2020/09/04/market-friday-pipeline-poison/ Market Friday: The Pipeline and the Poison and https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2020/09/04/a-false-flag-is-bidens-only-chance-to-win/ A False Flag Is Biden’s Only Chance to Win). I’ll pick out a few things from the first article because Luongo seems to understand a number of things about the Nord Stream 2 project which are not generally understood, but he misses the overall point to which “Anonymous” called attention in the comments here, “Merkel wants to win the war against Russia” etc., with the appropriate and excellent documentation links attached.
Luongo writes, “The poisoning of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s supposed chief critic, Alexei Navalny, is the latest sad attempt to stop the Nordstream 2 pipeline.” “Sad attempt” I take it, means that Luongo thinks Nordstream 2 is good for both Germany and Russia. In fact, Nordstream 2 is and was always one leg of the long-term double strategy: Merkel dangles the prospect of so-called “economic cooperation” on gas while assuming Russia depends on this cooperation, and holds the threat of using he assumed dependency as leverage if Russia “does not behave”, e.g. if Russia does not let the EU-NATO cheat and plunder Belarus with an Association-Agreement like the one Yanukowitch was supposed to sign, and didn’t… which triggered the Maidan-Coup.
Russia could play along with this double-strategy for as long as NATO-Germany-EU did not activate the lever, but at the moment the lever was activated, i.e., in the Minsk-Maidan-that-refused-to-happen, Russia-Putin just had to wait for NATO-EU to shout that Germany now has to “punish” Russia by canceling Nordstream 2.
Luongo claims (I use this only to draw a contrast), “Merkel wanted Nordstream 2 to make Germany the gas transit hub for the European Union. German businesses reached out to Russia to supply them this gas after the EU destroyed South Stream in 2014. It would give the Germans a lot more control over the Poles while placating the German industrialists who are the source of her power. Her motivation for this has been very clear. “ Wrong, no “German industrialists” are the source of Merkel’s power. Her power rests with the Davos Club, nothing else. In truth, Merkel is dependent on Russian gas, but not for “industry”: the German plan – this is all quite open and documented – is to use Russian Nordstream 2 gas as a storage buffer for the useless New Green Deal solar and wind “renewable energy”, by converting the gas into hydrogen. When the sun shines or the wind blows, there is too much power for the grid to process, so the idea is to divert that power generation to produce hydrogen, at immense hardware costs, tremendous energies losses, higher electricity bills for the population, and insufficient power density for the industry to use it.
A few weeks ago there was an interesting article at the “Stalker” website, “The coming hydrogen war” (can be found easily). The plan I just sketched was discussed, with a big question mark on its feasibility, but also including the official EU projections for gas consumption over the years ahead. Natural gas consumption is planned to drop significantly, raising the question for Gazprom, just from a business standpoint, of whether the EU will consume enough to even pay for the pipeline. Effectively the EU plans to use extortion (buy Russian gas because Russia ostensibly urgently needs the income) and then reneges on the overall deal. That should come as no surprise: just look at the Ukraine Association Agreement and the junk the EU tried to offer Lukashenko, and it shows up as merely a piece of a pattern.
On the other hand, were Germany to turn back from its current energy-insanity, the official EU natural gas planning would be moot and a long-term Nordstream 2 operation would be beneficial for both sides. Russia would naturally game both options.
Yes, clever Merkel has been pursuing a “double strategy”. That means, hold onto German dominance of Europe via a Russian phobic NATO line, anyone who breaks out or who has problems with anti-Russian sanctions (as if that hurts Russia), is threatened with punishment, but play the cutesy-line with Russia offering income from sales of gas. So now “NATO” and the transatlantic think tanks are all clamoring for punishing Russia for its Belarus “intervention”, which is just the German line for controlling Europe. But Merkel wants to keep Nordstream 2, not as sweet carrot leverage against Russia, but for her own Green New Deal. On that issue, she is fully in line with the US Democrats, but they are not in line with her. And that games out to the result that, with the NATO bitter stick line, Europe is on track for a Cold War-style confrontation with Russia which it cannot implement (you don’t really think NATO can wage war in Europe, do you?), and if Merkel keeps Nordstream 2, Europe breaks apart and everyone else wants to repair their relationships with Russia. Internally, domestically all of her transatlantic political allies freak out and dump her. Worse for Merkel, she cannot even hope that Joe Biden wins the US election, because the transatlantic anti-Trump Obama-gang (a.k.a. The Swamp) is pushing for NATO confrontation, so she would have to talk to Trump, but she has burned that bridge long ago. Merkel is screwing herself on all fronts and soon she won’t be useful to anyone. Not even the Davos Club.
Still, there is a certain virtue to Merkel’s “with our values I am convinced we will win”. – It has a certain “religious” flavor, which means that, as long as the war is not lost, there is still time to win. That means that, as a long-term strategy, it requires that the “winning side” get all its ducks in a row and not play risky games.
The Davos Club played risky with Belarus when it demanded that Lukashenko go on full Covid-19 Lockdown as the condition for a 900 million dollar loan. Had Lukashenko taken the bait, the economic havoc and accompanying unemployment would have set the conditions for a Minsk-Maidan to possibly succeed. But the conditions were not right, Lukashenko did not take the bait, the US did not provide sharp-shooters, and the “color revolution” failed. That was not Merkel’s fault, of course. But now she is required to pay for the premature launch of Minsk-Maidan.
It is therefore not beyond the realm of possibilities that Merkel pulled the Navalny stunt to feed The Swamp with a “punish Russia” narrative-engineering spree, which she may hope to use as a bargaining chip to keep Nordstream 2 on track. That, however, would mean that Putin, by allowing Navalny to travel to Germany, was not playing Merkel, instead it would be Merkel and Putin gaming The Swamp… together … But I thought Trump was colluding with Putin. Ha! Best laid plans for mice and men…. – In any case, the Navalny stunt costs Russia a little, but not much.
Everybody looks at evil Washington but there is also evil Berlin/Bonn people don’t see.
For example, where do you think the Americans got the “evidence” Saddam has nuclear weapons comes from? Indeed, from the BND, the German intelligence agency which was were never de-Nazified; they held onto their Gestapo heritage.
Germany always wanted to conquer Eastern Europe; they were the “first” to provoke a war in Yugoslavia. US/Britain went along with Germany, the idea to “expand” to the east was originally German.
Merkel wants to get rid of the NorthStream project because Trump refuses to provide protection to Germany and Germans failed to conquer Belarus so they could put surrounded Russia in a choke-hold while sucking away cheap gas from them. No US protection for Germany, no German Belarus, no EU/NATO/German/US choke-hold of Russia, this means Russian dominance over EUrope and for Germany to become a potential target WWI-style for the Anglo-saxons.
Putin is playing along with this Novichok hoax; he don’t mind to cut all links to the West and sell gas to China; let Germany buy expensive gas from the US.
If that were the case, then what reason do you reckon Gerhard Schröder had to oppose the war in Iraq?
Joey, the Germans throughout history were never interested in faraway exotic lands like Iraq like the British did, Germany always had their eyes on Eastern Europe. Also Schröder is not the BND, which is the German Intelligence (the German Deep State analogue to their American counterpart, the CIA). Trump is not the CIA, JFK was no CIA. As i said the BND were never de-Nazified of their roots and personnel.
Joey, maybe the reason for the BND to share fake intelligence/evidence (that Saddam had nuclear weapons) with the Americans was to bait them and trap them in a war with Iraq the neocons desperately wanted. You can find information everywhere online that the BND was the source for the crucial American evidence, the excuse for a war with Iraq.
I suppose you can start by providing one such link yourself. Thanks in advance.
@Joey_n Have a look at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/feb/15/curveball-iraqi-fantasist-cia-saddam
That article explains German BND’s role in providing “evidence” of Iraqi WMD.
BND agents were also involved in the bombing of the Office of EU Special Representative in Kosovo, Pristina. They did this to put pressure on the criminal elements in the Kosovo government for a faster transition to full “sovereignty” (read German/EU protectorate).

I agree. Nothing like that would have happened if Stalin would still be in charge…quite old now but likely still more capable as THE PUTIN who after all is responsible for the deterioration of the FSB’s capabilities.
Maybe as the US demonstrates – stick to drones and firearms? Some colateral damage is after all acceptable (like weddings, black people etc.)
Dumb and dumber…

Repeat after me. The Russians are my neighbors and are not my adversary. What halfwit could possibly think otherwise. Russians are very much like the rest of us I am sure.
missing the main point.
in today’s world, facts do not matter. facts are made up to fit the narratives.
Facts haven’t mattered for decides in fact. Gulf of Tonkin false flag designed to start Vietman invasion. Pearl harbor attack designed to get US into WWII.
But to go back to today’s false flag. it was designed to give the West/NATO/USA/Germany an excuse to heap more sanctions on Russia. Facts are irrelevant. As Reagan said: “facts are stupid things”.
The worst thing, once again Russia and Putin are made to look like idiots and caught with their pants down. and The Russians/Putin deserve it cu they STILL havent began to fight and to acknowledge the West isn’t their “partner”, but an enemy that wants the dead. If Russia/Putin ants to survive better wake up and fast
Western extraction of NGO puppet successful! For wesyern press Putin himself went to Tomsk to serve the tea personally. Lucky Alex.
If the Russians are really smart as the author argues then why is it that they allow themselves to walk in the same trap over and over again?
We can make this novishok at home using rain water and black beans. You leave the beans in the water two or three days… and bingo. The resulting liquid is strong enough to kill everyone just with the bad smell. If someone drink it, will die in hours from diarrea…
Yes, but with such intelligent people such as anglozionists and their muppets we are heading straight to an apocalypse. It took them about 10 years to diabolize Hitler and dragged him to WW2. Aren’t we facing a similar situation?
Between Saker and RT’s Murad Gazdiev, the take-down of the CIA hit on Navalny is complete.
What else is the CIA to do with an agent that has become a laughing stock in the country he is supposed to ‘Guaido’ in (a new verb derived from ‘guano’ and the proper name ‘Juan Guaido’, another CIA agent who will soon not-be-killed to death by Novichok – failed Venezuelan Judas)?
The CIA should stick to what it does best – wet jobs – as with their other failed agent, whats-is-name Nemtsov.
Shot on a bridge with an underage Ukrainian whore beside him (left unscathed), allegedly for the delectation of the evil Fu Manchu of our times, V V Putin.
The problem with today’s CIA is that it is ridiculous even in its psychopathic murderous nastiness, is that they eat too much and have watched far too many Hollywood movies.
If Putin is such a stone cold killer, next time he needs to get a lot more bang for his buck and liquidate someone who is a real threat to his government and purported designs for world conquest. Bill Browder certainly has it coming. Fette Kuh Frau Merkel has likely earned her way into his heart. Her recent duplicity has been epic. Then there are practically unlimited targets within the American military and intelligence communities. After the hit on General Soleimani virtually anyone in the American administration should be fair game. In today’s world, you can kill anyone you can get close to with a dose of corona virus at a high multiplicity of infection and no one would be the wiser. Again, see the Iranian national government for a likely precedent.
All Russians I have met (including Ukrainians_ seem to be a cut above the average western person these days on most things.
The are sensible and moral people.
They know the in’s and the out’s of most things.
They have clean fresh approach to things unlike most the west.
They’ll go far.
The west needs to take leaf out of their book as things stand at the moment.

I love the satire!!!
yes, whoever believes the nonsense spewed by MSM is not only dumb, but completely deluded.
great piece Saker
I think I first read it from Glenn Greenwald that the Russian conspiracy crazies take countervailing facts or logic as proof positive of their claims. It is a rather bizarre psychological tick. There was an article I read in fact in The Intercept where some security expert countered claims about apparent Russian hacker incompetence (leaving files on the servers they supposedly hacked, etc.) by claiming this was deliberate on the part of Russians to provide a smoke screen until their next super duper hacking. Saw this with the Mueller report. It in fact did prove there was Russian collusion–just had to read between the lines.
And now I have read that Putin deliberately does not use fatal poisons because he wants to instill fear in his opponents. Apparently killing them would not instill any fear.
It never stops. On one level it is funny. On another level it is deadly as Westerners believe it and may end up talking themselves into a shooting war with Russia.
Better yet, the Americans and West will soon claim that, when no supposed poisonings even occur, this is proof positive of Russia’s nefarious plan to instill uncertainty and doubt in the minds of innocent Westerners , who are so cock-sure about the reality of these “poisonings” in the first place.
When bad things DON’T happen, it is proof of your bad deeds!
This is like the non-existent Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq and the demands of the International Community for Iraq to prove a negative.
There is no limit to the Kafkaesque logic of the self-styled Free World!
Saker, thanks for the satire!

Projects of lies and defamation against Russia, or any nation, are intended to create “Public Opinion Effects” inside the targeted nation and sometimes far outside that nation. These projects are real weapons with real results. And while some nations lie helpless against these types of attacks, others are more adept and comprehend “the guile of the serpent who combats the rays of Apollo.”
FSB might need to fire the chemist! :)
But they need to give the FSB agent that is so expert at blackjack. I mean, where else can you parlay a $10,000 investment in some Facebook ads and have:
* One idiot American saying she was to be President but the Russians stole it from her.
* Cause an investigation of a sitting President for not one, but three years.
* Create the need for 3 investigations all proving nothing to the tune of tens of millions of USD.
* Have one CIA informat persona nongrata. One pardoned even though innocent. One still in the courts. A half dozen FBI retire.
That’s hitting 21 the hard way and all Putin did was write a check.
“So they decided to poison Alexei Navalnyi, a well-know “dissident”.
And they failed.”
Some tend to be well mannered.
Perhaps they declined the “opportunity” so other “colleagues/partners” could avail themselves of opportunities when the gambit is perceived as even more counter-productive ?

Hello Saker, I am eager to know your opinion about a group called Bellingcat. I recently read a report by them about a GRU operation in Bulgaria to poison a businessman there in 2015. Thank you in advance.
Saker, I would like your comments on this video:
How has Putin TRANSFORMED the Russian ARMY? – VisualPolitik EN
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7vzLvimh_U
Here’s the header:
The Russian Federation is a country of stark contrasts. On one hand, the vast majority of its nearly 150 million inhabitants live in poverty, but on the other, it is one of the countries with the most international influence. Mother Russia is still a superpower.
Of course, that influence comes not from its economic power but essentially from its military power. Because the truth is that, although it continues to trail even further behind the United States, Russia is still regarded as the second great military power. And even today, it is only China that is threatening to bump it down one place in the world rankings.
Indeed, since Vladimir Putin came to power, the revamping of the armed forces has become a national priority. Now, in what state did Putin find the Russian army? What has been the result of the Russian army’s modernization plans? Why has this become so important in Russian politics? In this video, we’ll tell you.
The narrator, “VisualPolitik EN” says the Russian Army is poorly equipped and that the US military has superior weapons, nuclear weapons and some missiles being the only deterrent the Russians have.
From your reporting I believed the Russians had much better tactical weapons than the US, that the Su-57 was miles ahead of the F-35 and F-22, etc.
Does this guy actually know anything? Can you determine if he has a source other than internet search engines?
that guy is an idiot. ignorant in the extreme (I facepalmed at about every 2nd sentence of his), plus clearly just shilling for affiliate commissions.
Saker
They are more dumb than you think, they are überdumbest cause they join other dumb people in the ME specially in Syria and always when they are winning they send a cylinder of chlorine through the roof of some house to kill only women and children or something like that, cause the dumbest people are always the more savage murderers the world has ever seen and need to be punished by the Humanitarian Powers.
This is the kind of dumbism that the ruskies master, and the fine example is Putin who has a ring with a big pearl where he conceals inside the Novichok poison he likes to use when he meet undesirable guests, and he put the poison in the tea or coffe of the guests, but he cannot know the exact amount of poison people take, so he fails, cause Putin is probably the dumbest man in russian history (which is, of course, a world record)

In one sense the title is not a joke. Why let him go to Germany?
the USA needs to stop harassing Russia
In Skripal’s house after 8 days the cat was still alive having had no food but possibly a little water. In spite of the poison – ‘Novichok on the door handle!! Poor thing the officials say that it was disorientated so they euthanised and cremated it. The 2 guinea pigs were dead, well they would have died of starvation as guinea pigs have to eat a lot every day or they die.
Navolny is so popular he could not raise little more than one er cent of the votes in the last election in spite of, as the young follower yelled out. “It’s ok if they arrest us. If they put us in prison we get 10,000 Euros!!”. his voice was heard so, guess what, no-one was put in prison. Navolny is a CIA plant, trained at Yale, I have a picture of him if you want it.
