Poisoned with the same nerve agent as Sergei Skripal
Well then. That’s gonna get interesting.Police confirm both patients have been exposed to Novichok.
Yes. Far as I know the police never found any sort of container that the Novichok was dispensed from. Maybe if the perps threw it away somewhere....Well then. That’s gonna get interesting.
That might could turn out even worse if it gets in the water or something.Yes. Far as I know the police never found any sort of container that the Novichok was dispensed from. Maybe if the perps threw it away somewhere....
YikesThat might could turn out even worse if it gets in the water or something.
If these 2 came across it then it’s unlikely to be in water.That might could turn out even worse if it gets in the water or something.
Genuine curiosity... what makes you say that?If these 2 came across it then it’s unlikely to be in water.
Low, but not unlikely they could find a container os of some kind. The weather is very hot and it’s quite common to sit around in grassy or wooded areas.What are the chances of them stumbling upon residues of the Skripal attack?
Just don’t think they would have been rooting around in ponds or rivers and if they were it would probably be very diluted and spread out by now.Genuine curiosity... what makes you say that?
Gotcha. Fair pointJust don’t think they would have been rooting around in ponds or rivers and if they were it would probably be very diluted and spread out by now.
You're thinking of Sainsbury's mateI live 20 minutes from Salisbury
Wouldn't stop me from doing my shopping there though.
More of a Waitrose manYou're thinking of Sainsbury's mate
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novichok_agentAccording to Vladimir Uglyov, who worked on the development of Novichok , it is very stable with a slow evaporation rate and can remain dangerous for years once deployed.
That's the working assumption of the police etc I think. It's been suggested that the couple came across whatever container was originally used in the attack - probably disguised as something innocent looking. Maybe even something nice looking like a perfume atomiser.This is so scary. Could it have been a remnant of the previous attack?

That's a bit tasteless.Maybe theyre the spies that carried out the initial attack and theyve inadvertently poisoned themselves.
To be fair, I imagine the authorities would have considered and checked.That's a bit tasteless.
UK is researching biological weapons? That can't be true.is this stuff leaking out of the biological weapons research facility down the road or what?
Offcourse it is. They study biological warfare and research "threats" which is a way of avoiding the "we make them". How else can they study them ?UK is researching biological weapons? That can't be true.
Its freaky that the Geneva convention bans use of chemical weapons but not manufacturing them.Offcourse it is. They study biological warfare and research "threats" which is a way of avoiding the "we make them". How else can they study them ?

Edit: Oh and who do you think sold chemical weapons to Sadam Husseine?
Not really, when you consider which countries actually wrote the Geneva convention. There have actually been treaties later controlling it though.Its freaky that the Geneva convention bans use of chemical weapons but not manufacturing them.
it does melt the mind. "you can make them but make sure you don't get found out using them erm.. I mean don't use them... Much". Also one has to ask why they sell them if not for use?Its freaky that the Geneva convention bans use of chemical weapons but not manufacturing them.
That was the plot for Metal Gear Solid V but working in genetics I know that's nowhere near possible as of now. We can't even replicate genetic risk calculations from European ethnicities to Africans or Asians.it does melt the mind. "you can make them but make sure you don't get found out using them erm..

absolutely vile and mental the world we live in. I don't want to depress you but there are organisations that are developing biological weapons that target specific genes and by extension ethnicities. There are groups of evil fecking cnuts that are advocating for it so knowing history I would not bet against them developing it.
Yes thankfully. But the scary thing is people are trying and let us not forget that all these vile weapons were also theory before we found out about them after them being used on people be it war or otherwise.That was the plot for Metal Gear Solid V but working in genetics I know that's nowhere near possible as of now. We can't even replicate genetic risk calculations from European ethnicities to Africans or Asians.
Maybe because not all countries have signed the Geneva Convention and following protocols, so these countries can theoretically develop, manufacture and use whatever they want. They can also choose to ignore these International rules if they wish.Its freaky that the Geneva convention bans use of chemical weapons but not manufacturing them.
Saddam produced his own chemical weapons.Offcourse it is. They study biological warfare and research "threats" which is a way of avoiding the "we make them". How else can they study them ?

The US and British during the Reagan administration facilitated by Donald Rumsfeld and Tariq Aziz after meetings with Sadam. They sold him that shite to him and helped him make more in order to try and win the war against Iran. This came to light after the state department declassified thousands of documents on the 1980-88 Iran-iraq war under the FOIA.Saddam produced his own chemical weapons.
Do you have a link for that?The US and British during the Reagan administration facilitated by Donald Rumsfeld and Tariq Aziz after meetings with Sadam.

The same happened in Libya with Gaddafi.
It is common knowledge in this space, plenty of news channels went over this during the time. but here are just a few:Do you have a link for that?
All the main Western countries manufacture and maintain stockpiles of various chemical and biological warfare agents, the US and Russia especially. It's more for research than anything else but if push ever came to shove who knows.Its freaky that the Geneva convention bans use of chemical weapons but not manufacturing them.
