Every time Putin assassinates someone with something of this nature, considerable expense and the surreptitious handling of highly toxic materials is required. It is much simpler simply to shoot someone, stab them, strangle them.

Whenever Trump's owner kills someone I think of the opening lines of a "Cask of Amontillado."

Putin wants the world to know that it's him. He wants it clearly understood. It makes him more fearsome.
