Germany prepares biggest military equipment delivery yet to Ukraine Even the Swiss who have long held out on assistance due to there own laws, decide to change the law to now allow military assistance. and lets not forget our DoD's latest package of 1.7 billion to bolster its air defenses and sustain its artillery ammunition needs.

Quoted: If these biolabs are so safe and innocuous then why the big concern that the Russians would gain access then? Also, I noticed you mentioned plants and animals but not humans, why is that, were they not doing research on human diseases? View Quote I am not that familiar with the labs in question. They certainly address human interaction with the plants and animals, from cross contamination to best practices to prevent and treat. So yes, in that sense they were/are. Gaining access by the same people who are playing fuck fuck games with the largest nuke plant in europe? The same folks who had troops digging in at chernobyl and getting radiation poisoning? Yes I wouldn't want them anywhere near one of those labs. You don't seem to grasp how they work. |

They do not want a negotiated peace where they lose part of there country, you seem to not grasp that part. So if Ukraine wants to fight to the last man with or without our help, why not help then? |

Actually I think I see his angle. And it is the kind of thing a true Russian agent would do. If Russia decides to leave-it’s ok (and ok for domestic consumption). But! If russia is forced to leave… well that’s just not the line they want to see propagate. And that’s the language we see now propagated in their internal news media- falling back to more “favorable positions” as well as the “goodwill” gestures of the last counter offensives that retook Kherson and Kharkiv. The most effective weapon they’ve always had has been subversion… Reposting because the more people that see this the better: KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov 1985 Interview.

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Let's say I agree with you guys that the approximately 46 biolabs weren't secret secret and the Russians knew about them wouldn't it be reasonable for Russia to be concerned about them considering COVID and the US/media's repeated attacks against Russia. That's not saying that the Ukraine deserved to be invaded but you have to agree the US/media didn't help the situation and most likely made things worst. If you are clueless about bio labs, that could be a reasonable take. Just like those who don't understand guns are afraid, and want them banned. The russians take advantage of both.

Hospitals in the US have nuclear waste that could be used to create dirty bombs. It would be a concern if that material fell into the wrong hands. That does not make those hospitals bomb factories. |

Why does bio labs bother people? Where you concerned about them before the war OP? It's not like they were secret. Where was your outrage in 2015? 2018? 2020??? . Who gives two shits Where we have biolabs, even if it's for natio al security. I say good!! We have spies in EVERY country in earth for national security. We have stuff you can't even imagine in other countries... you not outraged? Not foaming at the mouth at how shitty America is for protecting Americans and our national security?? Tell us all why you are outraged at the thought of America having a lab in Ukraine? Did you start a thread about the lab we have in Australia? How about the one in Thailand? Where is your outrage for those? Or do you just hate America? And anything it does to protect us citizens and our security?

Quoted: If people truly cared about the Ukrainians they would be pushing Peace and not wanting to escalate and extend the suffering of the Ukraine people. View Quote I don't think people like you understand 20th Century History (and forget earlier history) of E. Europe vis-a-vis Russia. Ukrainians are fighting for their freedom from Russian subjugation. History proves that the Russians are brutal thugs to those who are not "Great Russians," not to mention that Russians are thugs to their own people too. Russian culture is essentially a Faberge Egg. It is a very thin veneer of fantastic and unsurpassed culture such as Tchaikovsky and Dostoevsky, Pushkin and Tolstoy, Mussorgsky and Shostakovich. And when you break the Faberge Egg of this wonderous culture, you are left with a base and vile culture that aborts their Russian children in record numbers, who have no notion of respect for the worth of the INDIVIDUAL (despite their profligate genuflections to Russian Orthodoxy), and whose fathers abrogate via alcoholism and corruption their responsibilities and duties to their Family, their People, and their Country. I have family that experienced the Russians during WWII and during the Soviet Period in the Baltics. Of course, I do not live in the Baltics today, but I have close family that do. The Russian butchery that Ukraine has had forced upon them by the Russians this past year could easily have been forced (much easier) upon the Baltics. Sadly, people such as yourself would have demeaned people such as myself if I advocated for full Western military material support for the Baltics in the case of Russian invasion. People like you would have called me a "WAR MONGER" and would have denigrated me for having no concern for the LIVES for Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians if I supported ABSOLUTE RESISTANCE to the Russian INVADERS. People like you would have advocated for the Baltic States to SURRENDER TERRITORY and PEOPLE to the RUSSIANS in order to ostensibly SAVE people. And this shows that people like you know nothing... Ukraine, the Baltics, and the rest of E. Europe suffered immensely under the Russians during the Tsarist period, during WW2 and during the Soviet Period. All I know is that these peoples DO NOT want to EVER have their NECKS under the RUSSIAN boot again. It's that simple. FINIS. |
