While questionable timing, has nothing to do with the Ukrainian situation. This has been a year in the making and was announced a month before the invasion that it was likely coming.

Now WHY this happened is another topic altogether.

I love Jack, but honestly it would make no sense for the U.S. to have bioweapon labs in a country as politically unstable as Ukraine, right under Russia's nose and influence. None whatsoever. If we did, I would suspect our involvement in this conflict would be much greater in order to control the narrative and/or eliminate the evidence.

Corruption is a perfect place to have such a lab. One things for sure, Ukraine has a lot of corruption.

Look I posted just in jest, although the statement from the State Dept. didn't specify "in Ukraine", it was all inclusive sounding but again it was just in jest and not to be taken literal.

Trust me I get it, I am just shocked at the number of people this morning who are running with what is clearly Russian propaganda, as fact. It's not to say it wouldn't happen or isn't true, it just doesn't make sense.

Then again, I've seen a lot of s4!t in my time around Washington, DC that clearly didn't make sense.

Yea the timing, considering they are absorbing a war refugee catastrophy seems odd to me.

China is very stable from a geopolitical perspective.

Ukraine isn't, which is why I am not buying it. If we were going to commit a violation of the Geneva Protocol, I'd doubt we'd choose a nation who is so volatile that NATO wants nothing to do with them, who is sandwiched between 2 separatist regions who want nothing more than for Mother Russia to come home, and who has Belarus and Russia knocking on the door every 5 years.

Why not? Ukraine was the #1 hub in the world for money laundering. You imagine the uproar with locating a place like this inside the US. I have to take what our govt says to us with a boulder of salt now days as a result of other things that have happened. Its a shame that thats the case, but where its at with me.

Praying your right, but Im not close to being convinced yet.
 
Unrelated, I'm sure, but thought I'd share anyway. On my way home from Greensboro earlier today some type of Navy aircraft (similar to the P3) was flying low over me and landed at PTI. I know the president's planes practice at PTI but I don't recall seeing a Navy aircraft before. It was so low there was no mistaking the Navy insignia on the plane.

Money laundering is a White Collar Crime. Chemical Weapons Labs are Geneva violations that stand against everything NATO, UN and the Geneva Protocol stands for. They're not the same, and if we were going to do such, we wouldn't choose a nation like Ukraine where tomorrow our political and military rivals could have their hands on enough evidence to bury us.

I get you want to believe it for political purposes, I'm a Conservative, it makes a good story, but it makes ZERO sense and we have ZERO evidence other than Putin's own words. Think critically about that for a second.
 
This is to the point where Russia and Ukraine can't even agree to a limited ceasefire to evacuate wounded and civilians..

I hate saying this because I feel like we all want peace talks and for some diplomatic solution to prevail, but I'm starting to think that's just wishful thinking and this could drag out for many many months. Russia's backed itself into a situation where pulling back makes them look weak domestically and globally, but continuing on for them may mean economic ruin. Meanwhile Ukraine is refusing to give an inch.

At this point, I don't see a diplomatic solution that's realistic right now.

I still don't understand why Ukraine has to give Russia something. They were invaded and the invader has no problem killing women and children.....

I was talking to a friend about this earlier & I hope I'm wrong but we could be on the verge of ww3 & that's scary to think about & alot of people don't realize how dangerous the times are right now. If Russia invades Ukraine I have a gut feeling China will make a move on Taiwan & all hell is really going to break loose.

I do not think we will do anything if Taiwan is invaded.
