Why is the UK so impotent towards Russia?

Why aren't Brexiters up in arms over Russia killing people (and harming UK citizens) in the UK? Will the UK retaliate at all? Or just say sorry to Russia and forget about it like the last time it happened?

We're waiting for evidence this actually was a Russian operation before we start undertaking retaliatory action. Also, after the Provisional IRA campaigns in Britain during the Troubles, we're somewhat inured to political assassinations. The Birmingham pub bombings of 21/11/1974 alone killed 21 and injured 182. Compared to that sort of event, a couple of foreigners being poisoned is not really that big a deal, strange as that may sound to the average American.

Well here in the UK we like to have proof before we impose sanctions, make threats or start a war. 48% of those who voted were against leaving the EU, though what that has to do with this is beyond me, Russia is not in the EU.

Just because our leaders do not take to Twitter throwing around insults, accusations and threats, when an investigation has barely started, let alone concluded, it does not mean we will not take action, when we have evidence of exactly who was responsible.

I predicted 4 years ago that Ukraine or even MI6 would try and frame Russia so they'd have a reason to boycott the 2018 Worldcup in Russia. Do you think the highly trained Russian SVR or FSB could not kill a former Russian spy instead of just putting them in the hospital? This is such an obvious false flag operation to get the west to boycott the World Cup like they did they did in the 2014 Sochi Olympics. The world is not buying it this time.

Are you talking about stuff you know about that has been reported and is therefore being investigated by way of action and effort to determine culprits and assign blame where blame is due, which will then be followed by appropriate action?

Or are you not actually a moron and just making up a story, despite that it makes your conclusions dumb and shows that you don't know how strikingly similar what you are talking about is to actual events going on in Britain????


You're cover is blown about your low intelligence either way, but I'm guessing you're just a flat moron as per the former of my guesses. I don't think this is an ignorant lucky guess with impossible logic assigned to a fiction.
