Nightmare Scenario: Trump Caves, May Out for Blood - And Both Have the BOMB

The Evening with Vladimir Solovyov

- It happened. We must fall to our knees begging for forgiveness. We've been exposed. Russia discovered the secret arguments of Britain which it's been sharing with other countries. It appears, the secret intelligence on Skripal's case seem fake, to put it lightly. They do not exist. Instead, there are six pictures which May has publicly demonstrated multiple times. We always knew there's no evidence. But the other countries fell for it and were forced to expel our diplomats. Although, it's not a surprise. To put it in slang terms, America's reached rock bottom. Previously, they used to blame Russia for everything. Now, the US Secretary of Defense Mattis reached the level of rhetorics of the British politicians: "Putin is personally at fault".

 

I'll take the time to show you the notorious six slides that are supposed to blow our minds. Here's the first one. Just to be clear, there are six of them. And then, they explain what happened up until the expulsion of the 23 Russian spies, as they call them. So what? Then, they explain what the Novichok gas is and what it violates. But where are the facts? Are they on the next page? They explain how nerve gas works and that 51 people were hospitalized. And then, they tell us that Russia is mean. See, they recall every incident. Litvinenko, the DDoS attack against Estonia, it appears we could access it in May 2007, our invasion of Georgia, how curious, our occupation of Crimea, our destabilization of Ukraine. It appears we shot down the MH-17 airplane. Who needs evidence or a court decision these days? We've already been sentenced. We interfered with the US elections. We hacked Bundestag. We dared to launch a disinformation campaign on the "Lisa Case" in Germany (she was allegedly raped). We're blamed for that as well. We hacked the Danish Ministry of Defense had been hacking it for two years, couldn't find the weak spot in 2015 and 2016. We orchestrated a coup in Montenegro in 2016. We launched the NotPetya virus. NotPetya — a terrible cyber weapon.

All these facts make it plain obvious that it was us who attacked Skripal in March 2018. Is this the British evidence?

- Case closed.

- That's it! And then, they describe what they're going to do. Is this their evidence? Assessing their logic it almost seems that Ukrainian experts worked on those slides because it's the classic case of "neither here where the elder is nor in Kiev where my uncle lives". Are you kidding? When the Department of State was asked what evidence they had and why they made such decision they said they trusted Britain. God's the one you should trust in, it's written on your dollar. And here, you need evidence.

Vladimir Kornilov, Russia Today: After the Kemerovo tragedy, Mr. Tusk happily announces that they're expelling our diplomats the EU is expelling Russian diplomats. A minute after (it was in English) A minute after, he expressed his condolences in Russian. So he translated what he's just said in English. He's both sorry and expelling our diplomats. He didn't even make a pause. He put it together: "My condolences, but we're expelling your diplomats".

Regarding the British incident you know, I've browsed through the British press. The case is closed and Russia is clearly guilty there's no need for an investigation because if it proves them wrong they'll have to return the diplomats back. That wouldn't do. However, there are two acute issues now: how shall they punish Russia because they understand that Russia will expel their diplomats in response restoring the balance. And how to punish the countries that didn't expel Russian diplomats. They are seriously discussing what to do with Portugal, Spain, and others. Nah, Portugal didn't expel anybody, just made them leave for a day. They're going to be back tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if they start expelling the diplomats of those countries which refused to expel the Russian ones.

- It would be tough with Turkey and Israel. Turkey might put up with it, but Israel would be a problem.

- By the way, they're trying to keep Israel out of this mess. Now, regarding their future measures against Russia. You've heard that Times encouraged to capture Aeroflot airplanes. That's the spirit. But if we capture a British Airways vessel in the Russian airspace they'll say: "Why did you do that? We are capturing you, not vise versa." Look, the Politico agency encourages them to respond to the Russian cyber attacks with a cyber war against Russia, to respond to our disinformation campaign stressing that they might already be responding with a disinformation campaign against the Russian people, I quote. The military option must also be considered. They might use brutal force against Russia.

Can you imagine the scale? It seems that their madness caused by the anti-Russian hysteria is becoming to threaten the world the world peace. We must draw the line in advance for those arrogant American and especially British activists.

Sergey Zheleznyak, member of State Duma: I believe we're not even treating it seriously enough because some lines have been crossed not only in relation to Russia but in relation to the whole world order and the whole global security system, even though it's controversial. Britain had no reason or evidence to officially blame Russia for what happened to the Skripals. It doesn't only violate the whole Western legal system it also gives a chance to all terrorists anywhere in the world to use any toxic agents. Britain showed that if a guilty party can't be found then Russia's guilty. And thus, together with Washington, London has put the world in danger.

Evgeny Satanovsky, orientalist: British Prime Minister, Foreign, and Defense Secretaries have gone mad. I've got my facts straight: a person who possesses some information and occupies a certain position can't speak and act like that and initiate the processes that they quite successfully did unless this person's gone mad.

- I'm telling you, they've gone mad.

- Indeed.

- That's what I've said.

- Secondly, for some reason, we start to worry about the European values and their judicial system. Europe and America have simply returned to their correct values which they have had previously. Why are you telling me about some evidence? Remember how they were executing Salem witches? Michael's American so he must remember that although I don't mean it was him. How does one execute a witch? How did the Inquisition do that? You say that she's a witch and throw her in water to prove that. If she drowns she's innocent. If she, God forbid, survived, she gets burned alive. Wasn't it England? Wasn't it Europe? Wasn't it America? That's their judicial system that's been resurrected in their politics to punish Russia. Perfectly fine European values. Who said inquisition wasn't one of the European values? It always sentenced the perpetrator in advance. The same thing's happening now. The only choice they have is to either skin you burn you, or brick you up alive. And that's what they're doing now.

We can do whatever we want. Expelling diplomats would be perfect because thus we worsen our relations with some countries. If we stop supplying them gas American will just start selling theirs. This provocation implies that whatever we do will hurt us which is their objective. Nobody needs negotiations or evidence. Nobody needs the truth. It's useless, for God's sake. They selected a poisoning scenario and so Skripal was poisoned. They instantly found something under the bench he'd been sitting on. We don't even know what happened, what substance that was, and how he was poisoned. Nobody shared that with us, and nobody will. In this context an old proverb comes to mind: "They can hate us all they want while they fear us." That's deep. Sorry, I'm not a pacifist.

- I'm just trying to comprehend some facts. Theresa May said she phoned Trump, and they came to a conclusion that they must expel the Russian spies in order to complicate the work of the Russian spy nets so they can't carry out more attacks. They still think we carry out chemical weapon attacks. Look. At some point, Americans decided that Assad's army used chemical weapons. They delivered a missile strike before the investigation begun. That's it. It's over. Nobody cares about the truth. All experts said the US had gone mad and their version was everything but true. Everyone ignored the experts.

Now, they claim there's no other explanation. Oh, so you've done a background check on Skripal? Now, it appears he and his daughter switched their GPS off for several hours. It appears he had some business with some shady people. They rendered their verdict before the investigation. How's that possible? The case was assigned to Scotland Yard and they're investigating but you say that there's no other explanation and that Russia and Putin personally are to blame.

Evgeny Satanovsky: Sorry, Watson, that's elementary. They're escalating the Cold War with a smooth transition to Not-So-Cold War. We all see that.
