There is no hard evidence Russia was behind the recent nerve agent attack. It could easily have been a false flag attack carried out by British intelligence. Or it could be some other actor trying to play both sides off against each other. We just don't know.
Why would Russia let Sergei Skripal go, do nothing for years, and then suddenly hit him with this doctor evil style nonsense? Most assassinations are reasonably covert. Some are designed to carefully mimic natural causes or accidents. Doing it this way seems deliberately intended to be as outrageous as possible. People need to ask themselves, how Russia benefits from doing something like this. To me it's obvious that they don't.
When Islamic State carry out a terror attack, they admit doing it. They want us to know. That's the point. Sending a message. There is no point going in loud and then denying. Subtle covert action is denied, blatant action is thrown in your enemy's face.
Yes, the establishment will push for a public confession because their primary objective is influencing public opinion. They want Russia to deny it and the public to conclude they're lying ****s. If all they cared about was establishing the truth, this would all be classified and not even make the news.
