They Kremlin and Russians must have had a big laugh about that.
"Haha. We got away with using a chemical weapon near a large military base. A terrorist attack that could have killed thousands. We were right. The degenerate west are too weak to do anything about it. We scared them into doing nothing."
Wonder if they're still laughing now. Suspect at least a few of those involved are now dead.
To ne fair, they had some assassinations in the UK and Germany that were succesful and with little actual consequence.
But yeah, FSB probably doesn't have much to laugh these days.
I mean who wouldn't want to come to visit the famous 123m tall spire!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Four decades of renovations on an historic cathedral have been completed, with new carvings around the building for masons of the future to discover.
The Dean of Salisbury blessed the main cross high above the East End, which is the oldest part of the Cathedral and the area that underwent restoration.
The markings include depictions of a delicate baby dragon, a gecko, a bird in a nest, a sunflower and a ferret.
"It's a culmination of 37 years' worth of work which has brought us to this moment," said Gary Price, the cathedral clerk.
The cathedral's architect Isaac Hudson says a skilled workforce of 30 staff members have been behind the completion on the restoration project.
The masons have now moved on to the North Cloisters, where they will spend the next four years restoring elaborately carved tracery and Purbeck columns, bases and capitals that have split.
