But the fact remains, fairly much all of these people where flat out murdered professionally, not just 'accidents' and statistical street crimes and secondly, they where all very critical and scathing of the government.
It doesn't just 'look kinda suspect', it reeks of it!
With that much power and that much money at stake, most politicians are happy to have a bit of a friendly-fire on their subordinates if needed to distract from the facts surrounding themselves.
When there's opposition to the government and people are dying like the way they are here, someones got to hold responsibility for it and ultimately that responsibility lies at the top of the chain of command. Because if he isn't, then who is running the country and ordering this sort of thing?
As for Polonium, it's not something you can get a lot of in large quantities to kill people without tripping off some kind of security notification. Its rare, horrendously expensive and isn't something you can just pick up at the chemist, because outside Russia the only source of the material commercially didn't register the sales and had their stocks accounted for.
It was used to make a point
For someone to acquire that amount and then use it, way too much effort and would leave a paper trail and dozens of underworld contacts, far easier to have someone drop good old cyanide in there which you can get anywhere. Only difference between cyanide and polonium is that one kills fast, but they both make you most assuredly dead. |
Whats cheaper, more effective and look more like an attempted robbery or gang violence to blam on - use of ultra-expensive polonium or a bullet through the head? I think the second option is much cheaper and less likely to be connected to Russian government. Use of polonium only raises big questions as to who can afford the polonium. Its an expensive, dangerous and stupid method, basically only benefiting the British government who can use it as a tool to scare people and wrap around itself support against Russia, to make Russia look bad. Litvinenko was a nobody, possessing no military secrets, no evidence, only speculation. So then why would Russian government and Russian agencies, who ruled out in 1950s assassinations of political dissidents abroad would use .... POLONIUM ... ?
