Thread Name: BS: If Russia didn't do it..?
Subject: RE: BS: If Russia didn't do it..?
As I've said, the stuff has been out for decades. We live in an age of espionage and state skullduggery. Almost anything can be stolen, passed around by spies and copied. Nuclear weapons were started off by the US but now even North Korea has 'em. It's ridiculous to suggest that Novidoodah is a unique exception. It might be but you don't know. I'm not arguing with you, Raedwulf. But I am saying that, well, suppose it wasn't Russia in the dock but you personally. All these people are saying that the crime was absolutely typical of your past behaviour. We think that only you could have had the poison (even though it's been around for half our lifetimes). Only you have the motive to do this evil deed (rather odd that Russia doesn't really have a motive either, but hey ho, eh?). But, at the end of the day, we can't exactly pin it on you. You'd be a bit miffed if you got found guilty and put away on those grounds, wouldn't you? Maybe Russia did it. But maybe you'd better prove it beyond reasonable doubt first. It's what you'd want for yourself, so why do you want our justice standards to slip? Not just because you don't like Russia I hope?
