This polonium poisoning...

update - the Russian govt has decided that "in the interests of justice" it will take over their "end" of the investigation. Which is another way of saying "cover-up" denying the British investigators access to witnesses and evidence, and no doubt any witnesses or sources will also fall mysteriously ill or disappear to be found floating in the Moskva a few weeks later. Ah, apart from MacDonalds, American Express, Mercedes, and mobile phones, those Russkies really haven't changed at all.

Or someone is trying to frame russia

such as? It's not impossible of course, and no-one really knows what's going on (outside of the Kremlin and Lyubyanka - does the FSB still use the Lyubyanka?) but what would anyone gain by framing Russia for anything? The Russians' don't really care what anyone thinks of them because they've got what everyone wants - oil, coal, gas, nukes, so what advantage does anyone gain by embarassing them? And we know that brutal public assasinations are historically part of their m.o. - the FSB is after all just the KGB (and GRU) under a different name, and Putin is KGB born and bred. And if there's one element of the old Soviet system that not only survived but thrived, it's the KGB, just like Securitate in Romania. They're both still the real power in both countries.

It was actually just a random thought.
But maybe someone wants to hide something else. Now they have something occupying the news and keeping everyone wondering.

Then again...I have been reading Tom Clancy novels recently

One of the first thoughts that came to mind was Tawakalnistan

but then, we all know that they only have limited resources and not the know how and technology to do this. If the poor guy's throat were slit we all could have come to the conclusion that that was a Tawakalnistany as they like these old cuthroat razors

On second thought though, the russian bear is standing up again. People don't realy notice it as not much get posted about what's really happing in Russia these days. I think we would be very suprized to see what they were up to with the help of the West btw. When things gonna happen, it's gonna take a lot of people by supprise.

This poisening was a good message to pro-west and anti-puttin people, "Be aware, we know about you and you will suffer the consequences, the true Russian way".

yeeeesssss, indeed, in Tawakalnistan we don't have any access to such things as "polonium." Polo mints maybe, although you'd need an awful lot of those to have any adverse effect. Trebor Extra Strong Mints or Fisherman's Friends would be more effective!
