Trump, May, Christopher Steele and Sergei Skripa

Trump was very quick to re-tweet, without checking the facts, a Britain's First tweet. He didn't even know who Britain's First were.

So Trump will comment on anything he wants to even if its fake news, as is normally the case with him, but an attack on British soil .... nope nothing

Lets just run that one again ....A chemical nerve agent is used in an attack in the UK and Trump says absolutely nothing.

Now why would that be?

Lets think about what would happen if the shoe was on the other foot.

  • The UK would immediately condemn the attack.
  • The UK would offer any assistance in tracking down the perpetrator.
  • The UK would offer technical assistance.

Now its well known that Trump has business interests in Russia, so is that the reason?  Well he didn't have to mention Russia just condemn the attack. He didnt.

Trump only does things that suit his own agenda not his own country. This obviously didnt suit his agenda, maybe because it was real rather than fake.

Strangely enough there seem to be reports linking Christopher Steele an ex MI6 officer with Sergei Skripa through a security consultant employed by Christopher Steele, who compiled the Trump dossier.
"Mr Steele went into hiding a year ago when he was revealed as the author of a document detailing salacious allegations about Mr Trump, which was circulating before the election."
"The dossier has sparked a formal investigation in the US into Russian collusion in the US presidential election, to the fury of both presidents Trump and Putin."
So main points would be

  • The particular Nerve Agent used links to Russia.
  • If not Russia then as the PM has said, Russia lost control of some of its WMA.
  • The man who helped delevop the Nerve Agent says it could only come from Russia.
  • The Russians, Trump and possibly the UK gov all have reasons, to use and the wherewithal to have the Nerve Agent.
  • Why would the Russians use something that directly pointed back to them?
  • Why didnt Trump comment?
  • Its almost a certainty that both the US and the UK have access to and antidotes for this nerve agent.
  • Why arnt Sergei Skripa and his daughter dead yet. Was the antidote ready and waiting for them?
We wait and see.
