>The UK will not forget what Putin did in Salisbury. For anyone unaware, Salisbury was where Russia sent an incompetent military hit squad into Britain with a chemical weapon (a Novichok nerve agent) to kill a Russian dissident. They failed to kill their target, double-agent Sergei Skripal, or his daughter Yulia. They did however severely poison them, along with a police officer who went to the Skripal's home. The Russian GRU military officers also failed to securely dispose of all the nerve agent before they fled, resulting in the poisoning of two random British citizens months later, one of whom died. We did next to nothing about it at the time, we just pissed and moaned and kicked out some Russian spies. Several years earlier, Russian-backed terrorists used a Russian-supplied missile to blow up a civilian airplane, MH17. They killed everyone on board. We did approximately fuck all about it. Despite there being 10 British people on the flight (and some Indonesians, a bunch of Aussies, the Malaysian crew, and a big load of Dutch people). 80 kids on that flight. I think, thanks in no small part due to the corruption in our government and financial sector, we officially forgot quite quickly. Edit: A few minor changes to make it less difficult to read.
