of a Russian operative type (forget the title or level of authority), and that she was possibly the real target. Something like that. I think I heard that on Rachel Maddow.

That *is* interesting... FirstLight Mar 2018 #1
Pure speculation without any evidence or facts. democratisphere Mar 2018 #2
So I'm not allowed to say..huh that seems hinky? nadine_mn Mar 2018 #3
She has visited him before. There are photos of them eating at the same restaurant on previous LisaL Mar 2018 #19
Interesting and plausible Bayard Mar 2018 #75
interesting , i don't think it's impossible. JI7 Mar 2018 #4
The thought crossed my mind too, when I heard she had come from Russia flibbitygiblets Mar 2018 #5
No. As Richard Engel reported tonight, investigators determined they were poisoned at their house. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #6
The police officer was discharged on the 22nd. NutmegYankee Mar 2018 #7
Glad to hear it. nt SunSeeker Mar 2018 #8
Perhaps he did not ingest it but was being watched...don't see how anyone poisoned with this stuff Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #13
I don't think her arrival and the subsequent poisoning are unrelated nadine_mn Mar 2018 #9
She supposedly had a fiance and was planning to marry. LisaL Mar 2018 #21
Skripal was living openly. His was listed under his own name. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #76
How did this supposed assassin smear it on the front door without injuring him or herself? LisaL Mar 2018 #28
Maybe in some sort of gel or liquid that dries out. Maybe on the outside of dress gloves. LiberalArkie Mar 2018 #47
Some delivery device like a syringe/dropper. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #70
And what about inhalation? Was he/she also wearing a face mask? LisaL Mar 2018 #72
Maybe. But such a tiny amount needed to be applied. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #73
Almost certainly, Russian intelligence was tracking Eyeball_Kid Mar 2018 #59
WTF would they need to track her for? LisaL Mar 2018 #68
When she's well enough someone should ask her Achilleaze Mar 2018 #10
She will never be well enough. This poison is fatal. Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #12
Fatal? Fatal means deadly. She is said to be improving rapidly. LisaL Mar 2018 #16
I have read a great deal about this poison and on this thread I posted some of the details. Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #22

You can rely on whatever you want. LisaL Mar 2018 #38
She was poisoned also. I don't think so. It is a fatal poison. Once ingested there is no cure...it Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #11
She is said to be improving, so she isn't going to die. LisaL Mar 2018 #17
The person who created this poison said there was no antidote that was effective Demsrule86 Mar 2018 #20
Again, she is said to be recovering rapidly. LisaL Mar 2018 #25
Scary and sad information but, abundantly clear. Thank you. oasis Mar 2018 #26
If that is so abundantly clear, why is she recovering? LisaL Mar 2018 #27
"Recovering" only to die in the not to distant future. nt oasis Mar 2018 #29
And you know that how? LisaL Mar 2018 #32
Unfortunately, he'll also die before his time. Read post#20. nt oasis Mar 2018 #33
Oh give me a break. LisaL Mar 2018 #35
HIROSHIMA. nt oasis Mar 2018 #39
A lot of things are going to kill you before your time. LisaL Mar 2018 #40
With the possible exception of those who have "recovered". oasis Mar 2018 #43
Why are you so intent in this line of argument? You dont seem too expert on the topic blake2012 Mar 2018 #49
Are you an expert on the topic? LisaL Mar 2018 #50
No, but I am not making adamant assertions with certainty and without proof like the other poster is blake2012 Mar 2018 #52
You mean, baseless speculation? LisaL Mar 2018 #53
That too blake2012 Mar 2018 #55

Just reading the chemist's reasoning, I am not as convinced as you that this is as definitive karynnj Mar 2018 #77
And never mind it was 30 years since he worked on making these poisons. LisaL Mar 2018 #79
Great point! That plus the policeman has recovered karynnj Mar 2018 #80
Its possible Meowmee Mar 2018 #14
so she poisoned herself . . . that is an interesting theory DrDan Mar 2018 #15
unless she didn't understand the danger of the nerve agent milestogo Mar 2018 #24
yep - pretty unlikely - and would require a lot of trust in the KGB DrDan Mar 2018 #67
She wasn't estranged. She visited him regularly as far as I can tell. LisaL Mar 2018 #18
at one time i read..somewhere.. that it had been packed into her luggage...by...whom? samnsara Mar 2018 #30

If you believe daily mail, the two were planning to marry so not broken up. LisaL Mar 2018 #36

My first thought when Engel said that was she was followed by the KGB csziggy Mar 2018 #48
That's seems more likely to me - like tracking a courier to find a wanted person underpants Mar 2018 #51
Tracking her? Really? LisaL Mar 2018 #56
Who says he was hiding? LisaL Mar 2018 #54
I thought he was in hiding underpants Mar 2018 #58
You must be confusing him with somebody else. LisaL Mar 2018 #62
Engel did, if I heard him right csziggy Mar 2018 #63
Daily mail has photos of his daughter visiting him on prior occasions. LisaL Mar 2018 #65
I didn't hear him say that and I watched Engel's story last night. SunSeeker Mar 2018 #78
I've never read anything to suggest that he was in hiding TubbersUK Mar 2018 #64
Yes, exactly. LisaL Mar 2018 #66
