A Russian Mission Impossible Force?

Is there a Russian Mission Impossible Force?
Was the following mission given?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to test a new nerve agent on Sergei Skripal, traitor of our Mother Russia, and his daughter, Yulia, an opponent of our beloved leader.

As always, should you or any member of your task force be caught or killed, the Kremlin will disavow any knowledge of your actions.

From Russia without love

While some politicians are reluctant to point the finger, the UK press does when it comes to the Sergei Skripal affair. This poisoning has the chilling echo of the Alexander Litvinenko assassination in 2006. A 2016 report by the former judge Robert Owen concluded that two KGB agents, Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitry Kovtun murdered  Alexander Litvinenko.

Mr Litvinenko was poisoned by tea laced with polonium 210, a radioactive substance that points to a Russian state authorized assassination.

In 2012 Alexander Perepilichnyy, a key witness in a large tax fraud investigation involving corrupt Russian officials, collapsed and died at his Surrey home.

Now Russian involvement in 14 deaths is suspected, which has been raised in the House of Commons yesterday and in the press.

The use of sophisticated poisons points to the Kremlin's weapon of choice in covert warfare, according to security analysts. It is believed that the Russians have at least three categories of poison, and new toxins are being developed.

Admiring Manchester City's quality

At Wembley and at the Emirates quality, beautiful football and sheer class were evident. Manchester City produced quality football. A great side soundly beat a mediocre side on both occasions. Arsenal failed to score one goal, even from the penalty spot at home. The team needs to be rebuilt. Manchester City are the real deal. The gulf in quality is so apparent between the two teams: six goals to nil in two games and twenty points in the Premiership.
