? An ex KGB guy was assassinated in London with radioactive poison and lived to name the killers.
That ruffled the feathers until a few years later when it was all swept under the carpet.
Now the disagreement is over Ukraine and Syria. So Russia is in the bad books again for the killing

Putin was sending a very specific and threatening message to any Russian dissidents living in the UK. You aren't safe even if you thought you were. Shut up.
