I just don't get it. a) Why would Russia do that? b) Why would they do that in a way that would finger point the blame on them?

  The most obvious reason I can think of to kill defectors with a signature poison (like nerve agents or Polonium-210) is to send a message to anyone thinking of defecting. I wonder if Russia has renewed interest in doing this, because of their recent antics, and politically dangerous knowledge their agents may now have.

    Hmm. I wonder if there were some recent defections that we haven't heard about?

    Doesn't seem reasonable to do that after he gave up all the intel. Doesn't sound like a good reason to me.
