2022-05-16 22:53:40 Historic and so long overdue address of President #Lukashenko to the leaders of of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (#CSTO).

He called on members to unite and stick to mutual obligations against security threats faced by #Russia.

Indeed, it’s high time to decide whether they are allies or not. Sitting as parasites on the back of the Russian security guarantees when needed (see the case of #Kazakhstan) without paying back with at least political support may not last long.

2022-05-16 18:33:50 McDonald’s is finally leaving #Russia… but ‘mcdonald’s’ will stay with same restaurants, staff and food.

All those jokes about upside down “M” weren’t too far off.

We’ll see how it plays out in June.

According to the DPR authorities they represent a larger group of Nazis willing to give up fighting.

2022-05-16 11:49:01 Key takeaways from todays’ UN Security Council meeting on US biolabs in Ukraine:

1. The US refuses to explain its engagement in military bio activities in Ukraine. Keeps shrugging off several hundred pages of evidence. “These are all lies and Russia’s propaganda, and we are good guys because it can’t be otherwise”. Not a word on the point of discussion.

2. Western delegations are praising the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) and calling on us to make use of its mechanisms. They fail to mention however that it is the US who is blocking the elaboration of BWC verification mechanism. Such a hypocricy!

3. The US refuses to explain why it doesn’t want an effective international verification mechanism for bio weapons. Why act like this unless you are trying to conceal something? Why does Washington position itself above the international law? American exceptionalism at its best.

Main conclusion: we have definitely hit their soft spot. It’s clear for any unbiased observer that they are obscuring the issue and trying to divert attention from this uncomfortable topic trying to discourage us to raise it by repeating mantras on “Russian aggression” etc.

So stay tuned, there’s more evidence on US military biological programs to follow! Open / Comment
