Strong insolent Russian Propaganda - Pozner about Skripal Poisoning

There is no doubt, that #Skripals were poisoned by Russian GRU agents. Furthermore, several people are particularly identified. The chain of command leads up to Vladimir #Putin but obviously there is no direct evidence of him ordering the poisoning.

How Russian #Propaganda tries to discharge the accusations ? listen carefully:
1) First he starts by saying that he is "SHOCKED" by event, as if Russian poisoning is infrequent and as if he does not SUPPORT the international policy Russia has.
2) Then he continues to discuss "LOGIC" why would Russia killed its agent who double crossed Russia and later provided all the secret information to Russia's enemy state. Pozner, provides facts to audience which make it impossible to construct logical reasoning of why would Putin do it. So that he tries to persuade audience there is no logic for Putin to do it.
3) In between, Pozner provides some information to audience about Russian state agencies/some stories, so he is telling truth and gaining some trust/credibility before trying to provide ignorant arguments.
4) He emphasizes of Skripal as traitor, so that audience has negative emotion towards Skripal which would somewhat justify even if Russia did the poisoning.
5) Finally, Pozner proposes ABSOLUTELY IMPERTINENT theory that British Intelligence themselves poisoned their double agent. Argument? "We don't need this guy and he's costing us money", costing us money? like really?!

In conclusion: Pozner wants you to think that British Intelligence had more reasons to poison Skripal than Putin.

Finally, I want to emphasize how professionally can Pozner conduct Russian Strong Propaganda mission abroad. His rhetoric skills are unbelievably strong. Per meeting, he can inform, persuade and further motivate audience in favor of Russia.

Be careful, be informed.
