Yup, I changed the original headline- the original content remains below.The inability or unwillingness to verify the precise source of the Novichuk enables us to draw two conclusions......1- Very obviously, there is no proof the state of  Russia was behind the alleged incident2- Very obviously, Porton Down CANNOT be excluded as the source for the NovichukThe Guardian

Diplomat calls on US to unconditionally abandon plans of attacking Damascus

I really need to clear some of my  many bookmarked news articles- All topical. All related to events that are regularly covered here at the blog. And you know what? There's still more to post, but for now, plenty below.

This is certainly interesting. Or as hubby says that's  a real "wtf " kind of thing!Link

 Theresa May ups the Anxiety Inducing Theatrics in Britain  as everybody sits on the edge of their seats, because Moscow has been given 24, or maybe 48 hours, "to respond".....Oh what will they say?!   I can just imagine what it's like in telly land? The not knowing. This over the top drama, apparent from the get go, now requires you to wait for the next episode  before knowing the outcome. Was just talking to hubby, discussing with him, that I see the whole 24 hour ultimatum as still more theatrics.

Was this the pretext? About that Alleged Poisoning of Sergei Skripal

As of this moment, the one truism I can take away from the entire media presentation is that Britain is going for hysteria inducing theatrics- Which is, I think, the desired state they’re attempting to whip the populace into.

Talked about this earlier in the week: US messaging on Syria’s chemical weapons use indicates increasing likelihood of airstrikes to degrade government military capabilities

I know there are many readers here from the UK- Hope you are all well and as warm as can be.Mentioned this cold, winter storm hitting large swathes of UK/Europe the other day.We Don’t Want to Scare People But...It’s Cold, Very Cold. Snow. Wind. It seems that the price has skyrocketed for gas and electricity both on the spot market..  UK doesn't have enough gas to keep it's population warm..

Remember the days when the cult of AGW, which rebranded itself to the cult of “Climate Change”, when AGW was a fail, told us all winter was a thing of the past. Snow will be just a distant memory... How wrong they were.When I’d saved this article yesterday the headline started out “We don’t want to scare you but- Snow, Strandings and Mobile Phone Outages. Different Headline Today- Same Winter Storm.Cripes Rome, Italy is covered in snow. Yes, Rome, Italy!And in case we've all forgotten: The climate always changes. Always has. Always will.As stated so many times.
