    the fact that Russia can act with impunity on foreign soil, kill who they want, put innocent peoples lives at risk...That does not ruffle you just a little?

    you do realize that the russians have been doing this for as long as they have been a country.
    here is an article from 1964
    https://www.cia.gov/library/center-...nce/kent-csi/vol19no3/html/v19i3a01p_0001.htm

    and btw we routinely fire missiles into buildings killing people we feel are a threat to us. granted that's not using a nerve agent, but it is not too far off.

    No, because the US has been doing it for just as long. The US is not innocent. We have and do torture. We have and do bomb innocents, whether by intention or not. We have and do spy. We have and do sponsor foreign assassinations. It is absurd to think we should get pissy because Russia does it in plain site.

    Are you sure you’re not a progressive????? This moral equivalency you’re spouting is BS. Or is it just an excuse to defend your boy Trump. BTW what did you say when the Russians poisoned the spy in London when Obama was president and he was silent? Did you give him a pass?

    Since this didn't happen on US soil, there isn't much we can do. If it happened here, we would definitely need to do something

    It's quite likely that the KGB has killed people in Washington and the CIA has killed people in Moscow. In the geopolitics of international espionage it is sometimes the only solution. They have terminated both ours and theirs and we have terminated both ours and theirs. I'm sure that MI6 is probably planning on some countermove for a present day James Bond to see through.

    Interesting the White House just issued a strong condemnation of Russia and the poisoning. Will all you Trumpkins fall into line now??????
