Russia know the world cup won’t be impacted. They invaded Ukraine without FIFA doing anything. The eyes of the world are the point, it’s a brazen display of confidence ahead of Putin’s reelection. It’s a message that if you betray Russia they’ll get you back wherever you are and whatever deal has been arranged.
Who else is going to poison someone who worked against Russia in a manner they’ve done before in the U.K? Unless you subscribe to the Galloway theory that it was the Americans in revenge for the Trump dossier.
