Russia’s Mistake in Skripal Case Is Hoping to Deal With Honest Players
Exactly right — but it seems Moscow is over that now, and ready to mirror all demands back onto the west

Response to a comment, “And that takes time and during that time you keep asking the other side for their proof and their assistance. This is not rocket science. This is good diplomacy. This is good psychology: ”
It’s the best that can be done.
You are not dealing with the opponent you think you are, but the world court of public opinion still has importance.
And that is why it has been most helpful for Russia to develop open and articulate media to address the world.
And, of course, that is also just why forces in and with the United States have worked so hard to discredit or even disable the new Russian media.
In the past, American authorities were used to getting their story “out there” virtually without contradiction or question.
However, this is not a totally rational battle, as I think we can all see.
The reasons are suggested in my long comment under another article today in Russia Insider, “Bolton Means Another War for Israel Is Coming”
