She was probably a Russian agent who got bit by her own snake.

I suspect that Putin was showing the WLB how well it works.  I'm sure he figures he can sell the orange fucktard a couple of cases of it.

I suspect Putin staged this to show he could reach into the closest US ally and key MATO member and kill random  National of that country without consequence and  without America offering meaningful support to that country. He probably timed this to coincide with the upcoming trumps visit to London and meeting with Putin,  so that it is clear to all the world that Britsin must have pressed United States to no avail for support against Putin for an attack on British nationals on British soil,   And still Trump did nothing except to curry favor with Putin in Helsinki later. I suspect Putin intentionally did this to put a chill in the hearts of the Baltic republics, Poland, As well as to shatter the credibility of America and NATO as protection against Russian expansion.

Our anthrax is better than their nerve gas

And I would expect the Orange Shitgibbon to drop it on Blue States.

Not sure about that.   The Soviet were consistently paranoid that western biological sciences being more advanced than those of the Soviet Union and were therefore were secretly developing better biological agents the Soviets can’t match.  As a result they put together a truly monumental secret biological warfare program called Biopreparat that invented some truly hideous biological agents not known to have been close to being equaled anywhere else.

They had agents engineered specifically to create symptoms resembling other debilitating infectious diseases, but become lethal if only if treated with measures normally effective against those other diseases. The purpose of the agent is to deter the medical establishment of the enemy from attempting to treat victims showing symptoms of common infectious disease.  This then allow the Soviets to effectively introduce cheaper infectious diseases on a large scale into these countries.

They also had agents designed to mimic recovery when treated with likely medical counters to known biological agents, and to have symptoms return with a vengeance a few weeks later. The idea was to create mass disruption not only around the time of attack, but several month down the line when those exposed would seem to be cured and have return to the war effort or the national economy of the enemy.

The woman was supposedly an addict and she picked up the syringe hoping for some seconds.

If that is how she came into contact, then how did a weaponized nerve agent end up on a syringe? Novichok is not exactly a commonly abused drug.
