How was that amateurish? Acquiring and handling such a substance would not be easy.

  They left a pretty clear trail, and they didn't actually succeed in killing the target. Sounds amateurish to me.

    That sounds intentional. The only reason to use novichok as the weapon is precisely so everyone knows who did it. It's meant to be an example to others so they don't cross the Russian government.

      Russians are not the only ones manufacturing the substance known as Novichok. The UK and US also manufacture it.
