  • A report into Alexander Litvinenko's murder blamed two Russian agents and the inquiry said President Putin probably ordered the death
  • Litvinenko's widow Marina said her husband's death bed conclusion had been proven correct by the inquiry findings today
  • Independent inquiry said the men should face trial for poisoning him
  • Theresa May said the killing was a 'breach of international law' but tells MPs findings are not a surprise
  • But one of the assassins Andrei Lugovoi said the charges are 'absurd'
  • David Cameron now faces a fresh diplomatic row with Vladimir Putin as the Russian ambassador blasts the 'unacceptable' report was a 'whitewash'
A major review has today revealed how Russian spies killed the ex-KGB dissident Alexander Litvinenko, a British citizen, by slipping radioactive polonium 210 into his teapot at a Mayfair hotel in central London in 2006. His widow Marina today declared her husband vindicated after a public inquiry found Russian President Vladimir Putin 'probably' ordered his assassination by FSB agents on the streets of London. Linking the state-sponsored assassination, which followed a long-running personal feud between the two men, directly back to the President Putin prompted Russia's ambassador to make accusations of a 'whitewash' by an 'incompetent' British state.

Sir Robert's inquiry revealed the teapot, pictured, into which the assassins placed the radioactive material which killed Mr Litvinenko three weeks later. Sir Robert said he was 'sure' the assassins had placed the material into the teapot knowing it would kill Litvinenko​
 
It's a fact that David Cameron ordered the assassination of two British citizens in Syria just a few months ago. He's not actually condemning assassination, is he ? It's a favorite pastime of his friend, Netanyahu.

So it is acceptable to you that a head of state sends goons to kill somebody in London with Po 210?

No assassination is acceptable to me- whether it be by Putin, Netanyahu, Obama or David Cameron. The fact is though that I know the latter three to be assassins as they are self-confessed. Putin- to my knowledge- has never confessed to assassination- and the British press is extremely unreliable on the subject at this point in time. So bad is it that there must be many Brits who believe that Putin murdered Elvis.

You are talking out of your arse my old son.
 
Well, if you are trying to deny that Cameron is a self-confessed assassin then the orifice oratory is entirely yours.

You're not succeeding in anything but identifying yourself as closed -minded, flag-posturing conservative steeped in false patriotism. Cameron is an assassin. Accept it. What does it matter to you if your leader is a murdering arse ? Most leaders are.
Further, the resurrection of cold-war mentality is designed to frighten British voters into obedience. It's the way of the game. Where you bin ?

Cameron's assassination victims were not ' al-Qaeda ' members- and there are no declarations of war anymore. Assassination rules.
 
We can have a war against entities we don't recognize as states (like we did in the Civil War). While I am against the use of "war" against something as broad as an ideology ("terrorism"), a specific entity like AQ or ISIS is a different matter.

Sure, you can have a war with anybody- but a formal ' declaration of war ' is the preserve of states- otherwise there's no authority to declare it.
Since 1945, developments in international law such as the United Nations Charter, which prohibits both the threat and the use of force in international conflicts, have made declarations of war largely obsolete in international relations.[1] In addition to this, non-state or terrorist organizations may claim to or be described as "declaring war" when engaging in violent acts.[2][3] These declarations may have no legal standing in themselves, but they may still act as a call to arms for supporters of these organizations.

There wasn't any ' declaration of war ' to start the American Civil War, as far as I'm aware;

If there was, please point it out.
