Well, Kremlin will protest just because they have to do it. So far, neither Russia nor US want any confrontation there.

Just keeping up the show. If they don't, how are they going to justify the massive military budget, to the peons, without a traditional bad guy in play of life and death.

There Bob goes spreading Russian propaganda.

Meanwhile back on earth ...

The former Ukraine president, who survived a poisoning attempt in 2004, tells Kim Sengupta in Kiev why he thinks Western nations underestimate the dangers of a resurgent Russia, which he hints was behind the attack on him.

What else would you expect the former Ukraine president to say? It was still more show. And here I thought you were getting better. So much for that, eh?

Do you know why Canadians say "eh" so much?

That is right B.O.B., the Ukrainian president faked radiation poisoning.

The Russian s have been doing that for decades and in the last 2 years have been doing so with near impunity in Britain.

Once again, in the absence of an intelligent and comprehensive response you skirt the issue.

I never said he wasn't poisoned. It wasn't a part of the issue I raised. But I note what you yourself said about the poisoning and Russia, "which he hints was behind the attack on him". "He hints" perhaps as a means of getting his face on the front page again. As I said, it is all show.

If it was Russia actually I would have thought they would have been more efficient and nailed it.

You are a doctor now on top of being a bankster and mechanic?

It is why B.O.B. is on the dole. Everyone paid him so much for his advice,

"British toxicologist Professor John Henry of St Mary's Hospital in London declared the changes in Yushchenko's face were due to chloracne, which results from dioxin poisoning.[16] Dutch toxicologist Bram Brouwer also stated his changes in appearance were the result of chloracne, and found dioxin levels in Yushchenko's blood 6,000 times above normal"
