The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin.

This is the conclusion of our Governments based on analyses of samples from Alexei Navalny. These analyses have conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine.

Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America. It is not found naturally in Russia.

    at least they’re finally admitting that it wasn’t novichok… In 50 years maybe we’ll get to read about this entire story was nonsense

        if this instance has more of this obviously fake, state-department propaganda then yes i’ll block it the same way i blocked a half a dozen other servers for spreading easily debunked disinformation.

        Recommend anyone still hypnotized by this low-effort propaganda to seek out the work of dilyana from romania and her impressive work explaining how niether the skripals nor navalny were poisoned by nerve agaents at all. No chain of custody on the test results which supposedly confirmed nerve agent poisoning, symptoms and timeline don’t match nerve agent poisoning progression, and of course no video evidence and basic plotholes in much of the witness testimony.

        A fake story, and a pretty obvious one at that.

      Do nothing. Be afraid of their own shadow, and do not provoke Russia, avoid conflict at any cost, do not help Ukraine (too much), and wait for the problem to solve itself. Call Putin a dozen of times, maybe.
