Joint Statement by the UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands on Alexei Navalny's death.

cross-posted from: https://lemmus.org/post/20182604

The UK, Sweden, France, Germany and The Netherlands are confident that Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin.

This is the conclusion of our Governments based on analyses of samples from Alexei Navalny. These analyses have conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine.

Epibatidine is a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America. It is not found naturally in Russia.

    Adding /s is always a good idea. No matter how wild we think a statement sounds, there’s someone on the internet who believes it 100%.

    Plus it helps a lot of groups who you might not think about get your tone: ppl with cognitive disabilities, ppl learning english, or ppl who tend to take everything at face value.

      When you explain it like this you’re actually right. I always took the /s as a piece of awkward reddit culture. Haven’t considered this aspect! Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ll edit the comment.
