After Litvinenko, the BBC has been investigating suspicious deaths (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/file_on_4/6324241.stm) in Russia. Cloak and dagger (er, poison) is alive and well, it seems...
Whilst Litvenenko was still alive, there was a guy on the radio - your typical radio expert - who said the Russians used this method of assassination because the terror factor outweighs any collateral damage and more efficient methods.
Personally I think they do it because they're hard as fuck and as mad as badgers.
BIGOTS! RACISTS! PREJUDICED ASSHOLES!
Only a few russians poison people, but you're calling poisoning a russian thing, which is bigoted and racist. Why, that's like, oh, I dunno, imnplying that terrorism if a muslim thing because a few (hundred thousand) muslims engage in terrorist activity and/or openly, vehemently support it.
Nox, go fuck yourself.
!i!
...the KGB had its own private biological weapons program, skimming resources from the larger germ-warfare program that kept the Soviets well-stocked with smallpox and tularemia. Guess which government agency's members tended to moonlight as "special contractors" to the various mafiya and political factions?
Mind you, the Russkies aren't always subtle poisoners. Sometimes a big freaking ice-axe to the back of the skull does the job.
Ah. Metal poisoning.
!i!

You have made an error, padawan. For one to be bigoted or racist one must typically be derogotary and/or superior to ones target.
Assuming that the Russians are our target, please show the class where any poster has been derogatory or evinced attitudes of superiority over our Eurasian friends.
That case is a message that screams "DON'T FUCK WITH PUTIN, BITCHES!"
There is a reason I voted for him in the President for Life poll a while back. :what:
