Professor Piers Robinson, Co-Director of the Organisation for Propaganda Studies, and Chair in Politics, Society and Political Journalism at the University of Sheffield, spoke to Sky News about the Skripal case, Russia and Syria, reiterating that ‘more evidence is needed’ before the British government’s claims can be legitimately stood up:
I know who wrote the anonymous “senior Trump official” op-ed in the New York Times. The New York Times wrote it.
Eric Zuesse, originally posted at strategic-culture.org:
No evidence confirming Russia's involvement has yet been released. The first wave of sanctions will ban licenses for export to Russia of sensitive national security goods. The second set downgrades diplomatic relations, suspends Aeroflot's ability to fly to the US, and nearly all exports and imports will be cut. [...]
The pattern of slandering all things Russia with or without (usually without) the burden of proof continues in the US.
The US State Department made the decision to impose new sanctions on Russia, based on the insinuation that Russian agencies were involved in the poisoning of Sergey and Yuliya Skripal in Salisbury, England this past March.
Deadly poisonings are taking place in Britain allegedly due to exposure to the banned nerve agent novichok and the British government is on a crusade to destroy the evidence, while claiming that the Russians are behind the poisonings. The house that the Skripals were in is slated for being demolished and a recent victim, who was allegedly poisoned with the same substance, has died from it and is being cremated. In essence, this means that it won’t be possible to conduct further tests or examinations of the victim or the scene of the crime because they won’t exist.
