Assisinations by poison have been going on through Russian Intelligence and until this most recent news, it's now creating an awareness that the USSR needs reform within their government to stop this onslought of harassment and murder. Does this affect your attitude toward that Nation, and what would be your level of trust at this point?

The radioactive substance was not plutonium, it was polonium-210. All the same, it is rare in large enough quantities to kill and had to come from a source with a reactor to produce it. It is too soon to be able to conclusively prove who was behind the poisoning and perhaps the truth will never come out. Circumstantial evidence points to Putin, but that may be difficult to prove. Even though it casts a shadow of doubt over the Kremlin, we must continue to work with Russia as it is a world power. We can only hope that the truth is found and is not pushed under the rug.

No. I never trusted Putin nor Russia. Look First off he's an Ex KGB agent. He'll never leave that. It's part of him, It's who he is. Second Russia along with France got busted for trading Oil for money with Iraq when it was illegal and we busted them. That's why they and France never wanted us to go into Iraq. They knew we would find the papers and we did. Putin is also targeting the USSR media. Like the one reporter that Mysteriously got killed after he made a report about the government. This is happpening and Russia need to change (They really won't) They are going to the old day's.
Russia however is no threat. Keep your eye on China the next superpower within 8-10 years. Yes. you heard it hear first! 8-10 years. China be the superpower not the US. Of course I bet China will still let us do all the Policing of the world since it cost lots of money and the USA will sufer backlashes form forgeign nations and they(China) won't. China will have a much bigger (they already do and more technically advanced Army). But you bet your bottom dollar they'll let us keep doing all the fighting. Just pray they don't stop buying our government bonds. If they stop buying the US economy will collapse overnight. That's how delicate the economy is. we'll be a great depression. China spend billions buying up our US bonds. Plus China bought the rights to the land operations around the Panama Canal after Democrat Jimmy Carter gave it away. All I hear is how China is doing everything right for the last 16 years. 8-10 years...............

1.USSR was dissolved in 1991 and split into several countries, creating Russia, Armenia; Azerbaijan; Belarus; Estonia; Georgia;
Kazakhstan; Kyrgyzstan; Latvia; Lithuania; Moldova;
Tajikistan; Turkmenistan; Ukraine; Uzbekistan
2. The Russian spy was poisoned with polonium, not plutonium.
3. I think every country has its murders and we just can't judge a whole country just for some people's acts. Since the beginning of history, there have always been murders related to russian government.

Would the better question be; "If the Russians Poisoned this guy because of what he was going to tell the west...,what did he say before he died?"
