Get ready for the next round of “It’s Trumps fault! He didn’t shut down biological weapon research democrats started in another country during his tenure!”

Does anyone still think Tucker is a tinfoil hat crazy person? The democRATS are evil and they openly LIE to the people footing the bill.

US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland confirmed that Washington has been involved in efforts to ensure that the “materials” from the biolabs that are not there do not fall into Russia’s hands.

I think it's still an open question if any of these are biological weapons labs, illegal under any circumstances, anywhere, or simply biological research labs doing legitimate research as is done in many places around the world, including here.
While I don't have much doubt that some countries are doing things that are prohibited, like probably happened in Wuhan, hyping something to the uninformed to promote your own preferred theory, is often being done too.

If what we were doing in these “labs” is so defensible, why don’t we do it at home exclusively? Nobody whines about Ft. Detrick and they do top notch research. Why do we fund “labs” in sketchy locales either bordering or INSIDE enemy nations if it’s so innocuous?

They're bringing in Syrians for one, possibly two, reasons:

1. To deal with urban warfare short of simply reducing entire cities to rubble (as they've been doing in Mariupol).

I"m not certain what the plan is, here. They certainly won't be able to import enough Syrians to create a meaningful fighting force and I find it hard to believe they expect them to train the Russians how to do it, OTJ-style.

2. For the same reason they brought in the Chechens: Non-Russians are less likely to balk at killing Russians-By-Another-Name than are Russians.

Perhaps, it is no more than the people who should not/are not lawfully nor ethically permitted to be involved in such endeavors (to the greater degree they may be) that touch money and/or put money in their pockets?

A congress critter or a family member making money, or having the ability to be involved in "steering" the work to benefit them in ways that give them and edge in political power, and/or helping legitimate companies that also benefit and side step regulations and protocols (think Big Pharma) where all of these creates wealth, power, influence and opportunity.

The very things mankind is addicted to, power, influence, money and the ability to "do what they want without accountability".

Why not that instead of all the "they are designing bioweapons to turn the frogs gay" rabbit hole some people cannot help but crawl into?

Yeah, it may be all exactly the tin foil hat stuff. But then again, it may be no different than organized crime, and all that was/is done in secret.


Putin, going to sacrifice Russia and his legacy to save the world. Yeah, mmm-hmmm.

Saw something today about military experts being baffled by Russia's seemingly idiotic tactics with that tank column that got blown to smithereens. Also seeing discussion about the Russkie equipment not looking like it's in the best shape, bad looking tires on vehicles etc

This is definitely NOT the army of the old USSR and it appears they are marginally trained conscripts?

'Inept' Russian tactics baffle military experts: Tank commanders allowed Ukrainians to ambush them by driving straight up a main road

Does it seem weird that Putin is using his D team? Normally you use the D team when all else has failed. I wonder if he is planning something bigger by sending his conscripts in first with outdated equipment while leaving his main fighting force in reserves just in case anyone else wants to get involved. He will have his A team in reserve and let the D team take the brunt of the battle while inflicting some losses on the enemy team while the A team roles in fresh.
They already have used a vacuum bomb and I am guessing that they are saying that the USA has bio labs there as an excuse to use bio weapons and blame in on the USA.

After being lied to for years about Russian Collusion for political gain.
After being lied to for years about COVID for raw power.
Now we're being lied to about the Ukraine.

The clueless cabal that did all thats position is- Putin went crazy and those claims are Malarkey.

Why question them?

Or maybe all they really have is a D team?

Russia is a mere shadow of its former USSR glory and has one of the lowest birthrates in the western world. Maybe Putin *thinks* he's got a professional, highly trained Army when in fact it's a hollow force filled with ill-trained conscripts.

It does really make you wonder just what the hell he is thinking.

Or maybe too many people are buying into the bullshit propaganda being peddled by our media and government. Is Russia really performing as bad as they say? Who the hell knows cause most are only getting info from one side.

And my understanding is that Russia--unlike the United States and the West in general--has actually corrected their dropping birth rates and is now moving in the right direction. We are not. Currently we are a dying population.

Do not care what are government says. They are not the Soviet union of yesteryear. I remember well when the Old Guard was running the show and the May Day parades as well. Their tactics look pitiful. Maybe the A team is back in Moscow and they are using only conscripts.

Have they taken Ukraine or driven the Ukrainian government into exile yet? It'd be kinda hard to miss things like that. In the meantime, no one is disguising how effectively the Russians have fought in the south.

The thing is, this has become a major embarrassment for Putin, and one crippling him on the international scene. If he could get it over with then he certainly would, and would make a point of publicizing the fact that it's over. He hasn't done that. I mean, hell, there aren't massive amounts of Belarusian boots on the ground, we haven't heard squat about Khadyrov's Chechen legion, and Putin's confirmed that he's desperate enough to bring in Syrian mercenaries.

At the moment I'm not sure how that's relevant, but I'm both willing to believe you and willing to wait to see what happens in the immediate aftermath of the Kung Flu Blues.
