Don't kill any one at all! Claimed to be a Military Grade Nerve Agent, and laced everywhere from house door handle to grave to Pub to car - yet the Skripals can live! Can last so many hours going round town before knocking out!

That is NEVER LIKE a Military Grade Nerve Agent, the VX Kim knocked out rapidly @ KLIA died before doctors see him @ hospital - that is what a Military Grade Nerve Agent suppose to be like. Actually should be even dead faster than that.

  • 1025
One afternoon in Salisbury has rocked relations between the UK and Russia. Ex-double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were exposed to a nerve agent and London blamed Moscow.
What happened on March 4 has been at the center of a global press scrum, as literally everyone – including the Kremlin – tries to find out what happened.

But, the mystery just keeps getting more mysterious. The list of unanswered questions is growing longer by the day.

Let's start, perhaps, with how three people survived contamination by a "military-grade" nerve agent considered to be among the deadliest in the world? Here are some of the biggest mysteries.

'Skripal case plays amazingly into Britain’s campaign to isolate Russia'
Dead wrong
Initially we were all convinced the Skripals were going to die. After all, they were exposed to a "military-grade" nerve agent. Every paper in Britain said so. And Theresa May announced the substance’s name within days.

Images of Alexander Litvinenko were rolled out across mainstream media and headlines literally screamed POISON and DEADLY.

Others went to the lengths of actually killing the Skripals, like the Times, which carried the headline: "May set to hit back at Russia over spy death."

It was changed of course, when it emerged the pair were still alive. It only makes sense though – if Novichok was used, they'd be dead, right?

We were all frantically googling Novichok, talking to experts who said exposure to a 1mm drop is deadly.

"Nerve agents kill people with gruesome efficiency," the Business Insider said, while the FT reported: "Novichok is among the world's deadliest chemical weapons.”

The thing is, the Skripals said in a statement they're "fine" and a police officer was out of hospital within weeks.

So was it really the deadly nerve agent we're all now fearing? Or was such a small amount used that it wasn't effective? Considering the press says it was all over the door, the pub and a car – that seems unlikely. What a Novi-cock-up.

The paper wasn't the only one to make the error, with the Frontline Club also tweeting about its upcoming event: "Who killed Sergei Skripal?" to its 32,000 followers.

The tweet has since been deleted and the name amended to "Who attacked Sergei Skripal?"

A pint, a pizza & two guinea pigs
The Skripal story has changed so rapidly it's hard to keep up. The only constant being "Russia did it."

First, the poison was rumored to have been administered in the Zizzi restaurant – or was it the pub? Then the press claimed it was smeared on a door handle, at Sergei's wife's graveside, in a restaurant, and in a car (as well as on a copper) – we're all a bit baffled.

One of the deadliest nerve agents known to man was smothered all around Salisbury – and nobody died.

Not only did nobody die, the Skripals managed to get from home to town, out for food, a quick drink and a stroll in the park before they were found comatose.

A nerve agent considered to be one of the "most deadly" apparently took hours and hours to work. Not only that, the Skripals pet guinea pigs did die – along with their cat. From dehydration.
The cat was "distressed" and put down, the rodents – well the coppers forgot to give them water. A nerve agent which can be inhaled was smothered on their house and they died from lack of water.

'Theater of absurd': Russian envoy shows UK version of Skripal case 'falls apart' (VIDEO)
Politicians press-cued
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson didn't hesitate to tell the media it was Russia. Porton Down – the top secret lab where the chemical was tested – told him there was "no doubt" Moscow did it, he said.

But then the chief executive of the lab said the chemical can't be sourced back to Russia. The Foreign Office deleted tweets, the government went a bit quiet and the finger-jabbing was all but paused.

Until the following day. Overnight the mainstream media had managed to speak with numerous unnamed "sources" who just knew it was Russia.

The Daily Mail spoke to one "source" who could reveal Russia had been practicing smearing Novichok on door handles. They couldn't say how they knew, or when it happened or provide any evidence – but the story went ahead.

The Times' source knew the exact lab where the Novichok was made – as does the government they said – but of course, they couldn't reveal the source.

Funny how when the government can't defend itself Whitehall springs a leak. Or 10.

Russia Calls Spy Poisoning Claims 'Absurd Theater'—Here's What The Evidence Says

Western powers, including the U.S., support the U.K. conclusion that the Russian state is culpable for the chemical attack on former military intelligence colonel Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, in Salisbury, England.

Skripal was convicted in Russia of spying for the British during a 2006 trial and sentenced to 13 years in prison. He was released in 2010 as part of a spy swap deal and settled in England.

On Sunday March 4, the two Skripals were found unconscious on a bench in the center of Salisbury having been out for a meal in the afternoon.

They were rushed to hospital, fighting for their lives.


Novichok nerve agents were developed by Russian government chemists. Their existence was revealed publicly in the 1990s by defectors and whistleblowers.

One of those scientists, Vil Mirzayanov, published a book about his work developing and improving novichok. He now lives in the U.S.

British Prime Minister Theresa May claimed it is “highly likely” the Russian government was behind the attack on the Skripals.

May gave Russia an ultimatum: explain how this could have happened with a Russian nerve agent or face the assumption that the Kremlin was involved.

Under the multilateral Chemical Weapons Convention, chemical weapon stockpiles are supposed to be destroyed, no more produced, and any research samples kept secure by governments.

Aitkenhead said DSTL could not confirm where this particular novichok was manufactured because "it is not our job", instead pointing to the work of intelligence agencies in determining this.

Boris Johnson, the British foreign secretary, claimed on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that intelligence services have “evidence within the last 10 years that Russia has not only been investigating the delivery of nerve agents for the purpose of assassination, but has also been creating and stockpiling novichok.”

Counterterrorism investigators working on the case believe the Skripals may have encountered novichok on the the door to their Salisbury home, possibly in the form of a gel smeared on the handle. A high concentration of novichok was found on the door.

“We are therefore focusing much of our efforts in and around their address,” said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon of the Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing.

The British government also believes Russia has sufficient motive for targeting Skripal.

Not only would it be revenge for his work as a double-agent, but it would also send a brutal message of deterrence to others either considering or already working against the Russian state.

It potentially also served as a rallying cry ahead of the Russian election, giving Putin and his allies a chance to whip up patriotic sentiment as the country came under fire from the West.

Another 14 deaths of Russians with connections to the Kremlin on British soil are being rexamined by police amid suspicions of foul play after the Skripal attack.


It claims to have no motive and instead pushes a conspiracy theory that the British government could have been behind the attempted murder because Porton Down is near Salisbury.

Sergei Lavrov, Russia’s foreign minister, suggested a British motive for attacking the Skripals would be to distract from Brexit.

“Let's speak cynically,” Nebenzia told the UN. “Why did Russia wait eight years and decide to act two weeks before the election and a few months before the World Cup?

“Why was he even released from the country in the first place? Why eliminate him in that strange and dangerous manner?”

Nebenzia also pointed out that the would-be assassin “didn’t really finish the job” and raised doubts about the accuracy of British intelligence, alluding to the infamous “dodgy dossier” on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

  • Sergei Skripal Is 'Improving Rapidly,' But His Cat And Guinea Pigs Are Dead

    One month after Sergei and Yulia Skripal collapsed on a shopping center bench, apparently poisoned, the Russian ex-spy and his daughter are showing marked signs of improvement. Hospital officials announced Friday that Sergei is "responding well to treatment, improving rapidly and is no longer in a critical condition," just one week after his daughter reached stable condition.

    "As Yulia herself says, her strength is growing daily and she can look forward to the day when she is well enough to leave the hospital," Christine Blanshard, medical director at Salisbury District Hospital, said in a statement released Friday.

    Their pets, however, were not so fortunate. They stayed behind in the Skripals' home, which was quickly sealed off by British authorities. Investigators later found that their front door showed the highest concentration of the nerve agent used against them.

    "When a vet was able to access the property, two guinea pigs had sadly died," a spokesperson for the U.K. Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said in a statement to NPR on Friday. "A cat was also found in a distressed state and a decision was taken by a veterinary surgeon to euthanise the animal to alleviate its suffering. This decision was taken in the best interests of the animal and its welfare."

    The tragic fate of the three animals concerns not just the Skripals.

    Since father and daughter fell ill, their poisoning has become the focal point of an international dispute, with the U.K. alleging that Russia was behind the attack. British officials have identified the substance as novichok, a nerve agent created in the Soviet era and closely associated with Russia in the decades since. The Kremlin, for its part, has dismissed claims of its wrongdoing as fabrications aimed at "large-scale political provocation."

    In the month since the attack, the U.K. and many of its Western allies, including the U.S., have expelled scores of Russian diplomats in retaliation — and Russia has retaliated by expelling those countries' diplomats in turn.

    Russia's Attempt To Join Probe Into Ex-Spy's Poisoning Fails

    A Russian spokeswoman brought up the Skripals' cat and guinea pigs directly, Wednesday, when the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons convened a special meeting to address the incident.

    "Where are the pets? What is their condition?" said Maria Zakharova of the Russian Foreign Ministry, according to The Associated Press. "This is about living creatures, and if a toxic chemical agent was indeed used in their house, these living creatures should have been hurt."

    CNN, citing an environment department spokesperson, says the guinea pigs likely died "due to a lack of water," while the BBC reports that the cat was put down due to extreme dehydration. In both cases, the BBC points out, "they weren't killed by Novichok nerve agent."


    Zakharova took to Facebook on Friday to express her disbelief after the news surfaced: "There was a search, but they didn't notice the animals? Didn't notice the pets of a person who was poisoned with nerve gas?!!"

    The press secretary for the Russian Embassy in the U.K. echoed that disbelief, noting that "it is said unofficially" that the animals were cremated. "It remains unclear if their remains were ever tested for toxic substances, which would constitute useful evidence, and if not, why such a decision was made."

    "Overall," the official added, "it is difficult to avoid the impression that the animals have been disposed of as an inconvenient piece of evidence."

    British officials, meanwhile, say they are "absolutely" certain that Russia — and likely even the Kremlin — lay behind the poisoning.

    "They have a track record of using nerve agents, and they have a track record of state-sponsored assassinations," Kim Darroch, the British ambassador to the U.S., told Here & Now on Friday. "Add all of that together — not just us, but in the court of international opinion, because I think 28 nations have taken action against Russia — and there's no doubt in our mind of their culpability, no doubt."
