As Putin puppet and demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump prepares to meet with his supervisor in Helsinki on July 16, the United Kingdom is demanding answers from Russia after an additional two people have become ill from a Russian-developed nerve agent.
"The two Britons, a 44-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, were critically ill after an apparently chance encounter with the poison near the site of the March attack on Sergei and Yulia Skripal.The British are worried that the March 4 attack on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter has had collateral damage to other people in Salisbury, England. As expected, the Kremlin has denied responsibility for the attack, despite the clear connection to the Russian nerve agent.
Britain has accused Russia of poisoning the Skripals with Novichok - a nerve agent developed by the Soviet military during the Cold War - in what is the first known offensive use of such a chemical weapon on European soil since World War Two."
It's expected that Rump will deferentially listen to Russian thug Vladimir Putin, who will push for the lifting of sanctions, re-admission to the G7, and recognition of Crimea as part of Russia. The best case scenario is that Rump will come out of the meeting with a grinning photo-op and new assurances from Putin that Russia didn't meddle in the 2016 elections. We can only imagine the worst case, where major concessions are made to Russia by Rump, who knows what he owes to Moscow. The UK will be watching their undependable "ally" closely, while not expecting any loyalty.
