Latest joke going around on the Russian internet:
-Did you hear Putin was nominated for the Nobel Prize?
-In chemistry, I assume?

In typical "flood of lies" fashion, in recent days Russian officials have said Russia destroyed all its stockpiles of Novichok and that Russia has never produced it at all. By tomorrow, they will have never heard of it!

1. Russia destroyed their research center in Shikhany to cover up that the produced Novichok there:

Early April 2018:
The government research-center in the russian town Shikhany is named as the source of Novichok.

Late April 2018:
Russia demolishes the lab and decontaminates the rubble.

2. Could be true.

Novichok are binary chemical weapons. Perhaps they only produced the two components.

3. If they never produced what's in their stockpile,

where did they get it?

You see from where the GOP got their propaganda techniques. It's identical to Trump's fire hose of lies.

4. Exactly. "I don't know the guy. Never heard of him. I hear he's very bad."
