While I'd prefer that he would be sentenced to death or life in prison by a fair and impartial trial, you can't expect any form of due process from a country as corrupt as Russia. It's Russia, after all . If the same thing had happened to Bradley Manning or Berghdal (though Berghdal didn't betray his country), I wouldn't shed a tear, but again, a fair trial is always the best way to deal with traitors, without exception.

So, people don't deserve to know secret informations from the government, like what Chelsea Manning did, and that those who called the state hiding secrets from them untransparent and authoritarian are also fools

Not very surprised, though why wait so long to kill him, did they have some nerve agent assassination weapons lying around and it was "Use it or lose it?"

Crimes committed by Muslims will be proof of a pan-Islamic plot and Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand, crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of mentally ill lone wolves who do not represent their professed belief system at all.
The probability of someone secretly participating in homosexual acts is directly proportional to the frequency and loudness of their publicly professed disapproval and/or disgust for homosexuality.
If Donald Trump accuses an individual of malfeasance without evidence, it is almost a certainty either he or someone associated with him has in fact committed that very same malfeasance to a greater degree.

Oh yes, I remember the spy that was found dead in a bag in his apartment, Gareth Williams. A forensic scientist said it was his opinion that an expert in the "dark side of forensics" cleaned his apartment, because the crime scene was so forensically clean. The bag was also sealed from the outside-

when you shoot a soldier on the other side in a war, they generally are not the fellow who started it.

To take our lovely ms chapman from earlier, she played the game, , she was in the trade for this fellow. when russia renegs on the deal she becomes a legitimate target.

Jack Ryan from the Clancy novels. As president he decided to treat foreign leaders the same as mob bosses. They order it then it's on them and they are punished accordingly.
