Cold War

With this on going spy death inquiry across London and now in Russia and also in Germany, the use of such a highly toxic substance polonium-210.

The spy death inquiry can’t be very good for relations between Russia and the United Kingdom, the question remains why in this age we live in would you murder or silence someone with such a toxic substance? I thought the world nowadays was much more mature in attitudes, but obvious not. Its all a big mystery and i hope the main question can be answered why ?
