Russia had no motive to assassinate the Skripals. Sergey Skripal was in Russian custody serving a prison term for being a double agent with Britain. He was later returned to England on a spy swap deal. If Russia wanted him dead, they would have passed a death sentence on him while he was in Russia. If they feared him, they never would have sent him back to England as a free man.
The British have not identified a single suspect or witness in this case and their story of how the poisoning happened keeps changing. According to the first story, the Skripals were poisoned while sitting on a bench in a public park. Later this story was changed to the Skripals were poisoned at home but were found slumped on a bench in a park. Putin, if the official story goes, would have wanted wanted his victims moved to a public place.
Certainly Russia as a scientific country can produce nerve gas, but so can America and so can Porton Down. Neocons in America and NATO who want to break the Iran deal or revive the Cold War have a propaganda motive to attack the Skripals. Russia doesn’t have a motive.
