European powers as well as the US, Canada and Australia have ordered out scores of Russian officials, in a show of solidarity with the UK. They agree with British officials that it was highly likely Russian intelligence used a rare military-grade nerve agent to poison a former spy and his daughter in the UK.

Russia has repeatedly denied the allegations and calls the expulsions a “provocative” gesture.

So, how will the Kremlin respond to the diplomatic expulsions?

Presenter: Elizabeth Puranam

Guests:

Vladimir Sotnikov – Director at the Russia East-West Centre for Strategic Studies.

Thorsten Benner – Director at the Global Public Policy Institute.

Graeme Bannerman – Former US State Department staffer.

  1. lol Benner didn't produce a single shred of evidence. If you say "i think there is enough proof" doesn't give you proof..

  2. Actually all this have started since Russian Involvment in Syrian Issue where Russia had checkmated the entire westren alliance so they now have teamed up to teach Russia a lesson for Nullifying their so called strategic objectives in The World Arena.

  3. If Russia (as WEST says) has crossed legitimate lines of international rules and relation by allegedly interfereing in US elections and Skripal case, then how USA can justify its invasion of Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Syria where they have killed millions of innocent people without any legal authority???

  4. Russia put a spanner in the works with Syria,, USA was thinking they would of had a regime change in Syria,, until Russia helped fight the Evil Terrorists in Syria.. NOW RUSSIA is on the target radar

  5. So they had him in Jail in Russia, traded him over, allowed him to be debriefed,, told all secrets, then started living a nornal life in Britain, then Russia assassinates him? I dont know but this makes no sense to be coming from the Russians, and May condemned Russia before the investigation even started, the investigation isn't even concluded but all the countries are already kicking out diplomats… I smell a plot

  6. Russia turned their back on the rothschilds. Russia was the only country to beat the jewish backed isis in Syria. The global banking lackeys cannot stomach these facts. The biggest enemy to them is the public. Thats why they are force feeding us propaganda. Do not swallow it people. Normal people dont want war and if we follow this garbage, thats exactly what we will get.
