The level of propaganda war we're in the middle of is truly astounding. Is Russia Today expecting that people will take this claim of Sky News behavior (with a still, not a video) at face value, or will they see the name behind it and assume propaganda, or...

Also, why would Russia use a chemical warfare agent to poison an ex-spy when a simple knife or handgun would do?

Knives and handguns are regulated in Great Britain.

A knife or a gun could mean anyone, even a lowly criminal, did the deed. An exotic chemical poison sends a message to others that might betray Dobby.

Yup, and just because they're regulated doesn't mean they're not available.
