“Putin said the U.S. embassy’s move to raise the LGBT pride flag “revealed something about the people that work there”.”

That’s actually hilarious
 
President Vladimir Putin on Friday mocked the U.S. embassy in Moscow for flying a rainbow flag to celebrate LGBT rights, suggesting it reflected the sexual orientation of its staff.
And I should care what he thinks about a flag?
 
he gives money to our enemies to murder US troops.
He also murders British citizens and deployed a chemical weapon against the UK. The Novichok attack on Salisbury could have killed thousands of people. It’s undetectable, takes about 50 years to degrade, and is fatal in almost unimaginably small doses. That the attack killed only one person is little short of a miracle. If it had killed, say, half of the population of Salisbury, Putin presumably would not have cared.
 
The thread title is confusing. It sounds like Putin raised the gay flag to celebrate
America. Wasn’t the flag raised by the American embassy in Moscow?

How was Putin celebrating America? @Adamek
 
I’m not sure how a thread initially about Putin devolved into fighting about Alex Jones, but here we are.
 
Sergei Skripal survived the attempted murder and is still alive. The person who died in the attack was Dawn Sturgess, a 44-year-old woman who left a partner and three children, her parents, a sister, and a large circle of extended family and friends. She had been living in a hostel for homeless people and was just beginning to get her life back on track when she was killed. This is the only person who was callously murdered by Vladimir Putin’s thugs. The attack also seriously endangered the lives of Skripal’s daughter, Sturgess’s partner (who may in fact still die from long-term effects of the poisoning), and a police officer.

The Russian agents left behind a bottle of Novichok as well as traces that were quickly picked up and spread all over the city. The thing about Novichok is that it can’t be seen, tasted, or smelled, and it remains fatal, even in incredibly small doses, for about 50 years. Therefore, by carelessly leaving traces and indeed leaving an entire bottle of the stuff, the agents who perpetrated the attack could very easily have killed thousands of people.

Well, the Russian government did have him in prison in Russia. They chose to grant him a presidential pardon, release him, and guarantee his safe passage to the UK. The US and UK got four Russians convicted of spying for the West, while Russia got back 10 of its “illegals”. Russia could have kept Skripal in prison, but chose to release him for the sake of the deep-cover sleeper agents it wanted back. Russia can’t have it both ways. A swap is a swap. It’s not really in the spirit of the arrangement to swap a prisoner then try to murder him eight years later.
 
I wasn’t talking about what the UK has done in Ireland. I was talking about the fact that the Russian government deployed a nerve agent in a British city, killing one person, leaving four people seriously ill, and endangering the lives of thousands. The attack was not only condemned by Britain. It was condemned by NATO, the EU, and another 30 individual countries, including Ireland, which expelled a Russian diplomat in response.
