The best way to gauge the Kremlin’s complicity is to consider that its involvement is directly proportionate to the number of conspiracy theories being floated by #Russia’s state media (e.g. #MH17). With respect to #Skripal, numerous “alternative story plots” are already in play.
Russia’s state media #Skripal conspiracy theory No.1:
“Accidental exposure”
Porton Down, where the Brits were experimenting with the same types of nerve agents, is located next door to where Skripal and his daughter were found.

Russia’s state media #Skripal conspiracy theory No.2:
“Suicide”
“Alcoholism & drug addiction, stress, severe nervous breakdown & depression are the inevitable occupational diseases of the traitor. And as a result— heart attacks, strokes, traffic accidents—and, finally, suicide.”

RT is attempting to preemptively discredit the lab analyzing the nerve agent thought to be used, reporting that Porton Down is mired in controversy, has been accused of experimenting on humans.

Russia’s state media #Skripal conspiracy theory No.5:
