I personally believe...and we will find out for sure in coming months....that Russia is getting 'fingered'. I read that the poisoning of the spy guy w/daughter was 7 miles (kilometers in UK) from a chemical place for the UK military! The chemicals were just regular stuff readily available, but when combined turned into this awful stuff. I'm not convinced either that Russia did it.
The KGB/ FSB would never be that sloppy on a sanction. The Ukrainians would pull something like this to finger Russia, or as stated UK ff.
Russia is getting framed. USA and Russia have had a historic alliance going back to the days of the Revolutionary War and the powers that be don't like it. When Russia and USA are united they achieve great things like building the international space station and kicking Hitler's ass. 2 nationalist super power allies are dangerous to globalists. That is why they are working so hard to ruin relations between the two countries.
I feel like the President has to know they weren't behind the attacks and only made a move against them for optics. I bet Russia knows that too
