In the news lately there is a massive draw towards blaming the Russians for the poisoning of former double agent Skripal in the UK. The MSM points toward Russia stating that they were taking down a long running target though somewhere the facts do not add up. What is there to gain from such an attack, revenge, a statement, tying up lose ends? Though these are the narratives ran by the west, I am still left questioning would Russia and Putin really benefit from such an action. I think not and so do many out there.
So I ask you who else could benefit from such an action, the Americans, the British or do these culprits raise just as many questions. I feel that when you look outside the circle of involved parties then the real beneficiaries really shine on through. So I ask rather than question who would benefit from the poisoning of an ex double agent but instead who would benefit the most from drawing warming relations between Russia and the West to a halt? When you ask this question there is two names that come to mind and one of these usually draws the direction of every conspiracy since WW1, the Israeli's and the Saudi's.
You see at the moment there is a fight going on that the West is not central to, a fight that both UK and US have been active but now withdrawing. That is the fight in the middle east. You ask me why the middle east conflict could be such an explanation for such an attack and I say easy, the Russians are the only superpower propping up the regimes of those with whom the aforementioned despise. With Russia drawn into such a conflict with the West this gives great opportunity for both the Israelis and Saudis to take aim at their enemies in the middle east, namely Iran.
Yes I am aware this is beginning to sound like a conspiracy expected to come from the likes of David Ike but the more I investigate the more it makes sense. The thing that makes this very clear in my mind is the actions of the united states recently. Up until a certain high profile visit the US remained curiously cautious with its actions and reply to the attack. Who was the visit you ask, none other than fresh faced future ruler Salman of Saudi Arabia. The defense minister who has been banging the war drums against old nemesis Iran has been making visits to both the US and UK since the attack. Since both visits the named nations have upped the rhetoric against Russia hugely with the expelling of diplomats and war of words. While at the same time urging the West to back it in a battle against the Iranians. Though this is just the opinion of one man and this man could be far from right but I feel this scenario fits the bill much tighter than that being fed by the general MSM at the moment. Was this the Saudis, the Israelis, the west or mother Russia? I think only time will tell but without asking the relevant questions the true culprit will remain hidden. In the coming months the situation will expand and it is then I feel the culprit will become more and more obvious to those who ask that question, Who really benefits from the poisoning of skripal?
