Think cheer leaders.

And we are the best cheer leaders ever, or fanbois, ankle-biters.

does this ring a bell, Nawalny, Charité, yes?)

All greeted by politicians at the Airport when they arrived here, by whichever diplomatic means.

And now that Nawalny thing. Which somehow stinks.

The same way the Skripal thing stinks.

Though I don't know what to make of Litvinenko, that stinks different.

or at least uninformed people, or outright liars, having an agenda.
