British woman exposed to Soviet nerve agent dies.

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.

Our anthrax is better than their nerve gas

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.
