US Admits Ukraine Biolabs

Just two days ago, US bioweaponry labs in Ukraine were dismissed by the globalist media’s “fact-checkers” as conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda. And now their existence has been publicly admitted by the US government.

Rubio: I only have a minute left let me ask you, does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?

Nuland: Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of. So we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach

Rubio: I’m sure you’re aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they’ve uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to release biological weapons in the country, and with NATO’s coordination. If there’s a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine is there any doubt in your mind that 100 percent it would be the Russians that would be behind it?

Nuland: There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy what they’re planning to do themselves.

So, the US-based neocons have not only admitted to putting research laboratories for biological weapons in their puppet state of Ukraine, they’re trying to preemptively false flag any use of bioweapons there. China, however, is clearly well-aware of this distributed bioweapons operation in the wake of the Wuhan coronavirus release and is already calling them out about it.

The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone. It should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification.

Once more, we see that the “Russian propaganda” is well-founded in fact. Once more we see that “conspiracy theory” can be reasonably described as “spoiler alerts”. And once more, we see that the US government is in the hands of some of the most evil people on the planet.

Truth is the First Casualty

Ukraine reports Russia’s losses, but not its own.

12,000 Russian troops have now died fighting in Ukraine, while 300 tanks have been destroyed along with more than 1,000 armoured vehicles, 48 planes, 80 helicopters and three boats.

That’s after 12 days of combat. Let’s compare the enemy-reported losses to the self-reported losses from some famous historical battles:

  • Normandy: 87 days. 20,668 US KIA. 2,000 tanks destroyed.
  • Tarawa: 3 days. 1,009 US KIA.
  • Iwo Jima: 35 days. 6,862 US KIA. 137 tanks destroyed.
  • Battle of the Bulge: 40 days. 19,246 US KIA. 733 tanks destroyed.

So, if the Ukrainians are to be believed, they are killing 3.45x more Russian soldiers per day, in an invasion that is advancing faster than Desert Storm, the Six-Days War, or Operation Barbarossa, than the US military lost in four of its bloodiest battles of World War II.

My estimate of Russian losses after 12 days is 2,850 KIA, 9,250 wounded, and 220 tanks lost.

This is considerably higher than the 1,100 KIA I would have estimated due to the Russians utilizing their second-line troops and refraining from making efficient use of their artillery and air power. But the Russian generals are clearly saving their first-line troops and equipment for a potential future engagement with NATO forces, while taking advantage of the situation to blood and level-up the second-line soldiers. And, to Vladimir Putin’s credit, he has decided to accept a higher rate of Russian military casualties in order to reduce the number of Ukrainian civilian casualties by at least an order of magnitude.

You may wish to note that my first estimate was 250 to 500 KIA at a time when the Ukranians were reporting 9,000 KIA. The Russians subsequently reported 498 KIA for that period. The reason I set the range too low was because at the time I calculated the estimate, I did not know that the Russians were relying upon second-line troops or that they would eschew artillery and air support for the first five days of the operation.

The lesson, as always, is this: the past is prelude.

Neocons Threaten China

Unless they really do seek to fight and lose a two-front World War III – and I do not dismiss the possibility – the neocons are demonstrating that they are even more geostrategically retarded than we thought they were:

The US has hinted at retaliation against China should it avoid following sanctions imposed on Russia after its attack on Ukraine late last month. Beijing, meanwhile, consistently argued that economic restrictions only exacerbate conflicts.

During Monday’s press briefing, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki was asked if sanctions will push Moscow into deeper ties with Beijing.

“They can’t backfill the impact of these sanctions from China. It’s just not possible,” Psaki argued. “Now, we’ve also seen China abide by the sanctions that have been put in place.”

At the same time, Psaki noted that Beijing abstained when the UN General Assembly voted to condemn Russia’s attack on Ukraine last week. “If they don’t abide by the sanctions, we always have – you know, we clearly have means to take steps, but that’s what we’ve seen to date,” the White House spokesperson said.

China has backed a diplomatic solution to the conflict and has consistently spoken out against economic restrictions. “We are deeply concerned with the ever-increasing unilateral sanctions, which are not a fundamental and effective way to solve the problem,” Zhang Jun, China’s envoy to the UN, said on Monday. “They will have serious humanitarian consequences and spillover effects that will hurt other countries.”

Speaking to reporters the same day, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called Moscow his country’s “most important strategic partner.” The friendship between the two is “ironclad,” he said.

China is not going to abide by the imperial sanctions. China does not kowtow to the Empire That Never Ended, having rejected its blandishments and temptations more than six years ago. To the contrary, it increasingly appears that China is going to choose its side and make its opening move as soon as either a) NATO attacks Russia or b) NATO successfully provokes Russia into providing it with a casus belli.

As if to drive home the point that it will not stand by idly while the US conspires against it, China announced on Friday it was conducting a week-long military exercise in the South China Sea, near the territorial waters of Vietnam. While the scope and scale of the exercise is limited—encompassing a six nautical mile radius—its messaging was clear: China is prepared to use force, if necessary, to defend its disputed territorial claims in the region.

China pushes back against the US in the Pacific, Russia Today, 7 March 2022

Forget Taiwan island. It will reunite with the mainland; that is already a done deal. The question is what happens with a) Australia and New Zealand, b) the Philippines, and c) Japan. I note that we’ve heard virtually nothing about the Philippines since the conflict began and they do not appear on the Russian list of hostile countries. It would not surprise me if the Dutarte government has already chosen to ally with China, which would be a major blow to both the USA and Japan in the Pacific.

Note that Russia is already justified in attacking both Poland and Romania in order to shut down the pipeline of weapons being supplied to Ukraine. That it has not yet done so demonstrates its continued restraint in the face of great and increasing provocations.

Don’t be confused by the relentless globalist propaganda being pushed by the media. There is absolutely no question that in this specific historical situation, it is the NATO forces being utilized as a weapon by the Empire that are the bad guys. It’s not the 1950s, or even the 1980s, anymore.

Russia Defeated, Glory to Ukraine

Apparently it’s all over now except for Vladimir Putin’s inevitable fall from power and trial at the Hague, if the globalist media is to be believed.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine appears to have ground to a halt with no significant territory captured despite a weekend of heavy fighting, with Kyiv’s men claiming to have taken out dozens of helicopters and recaptured a city this morning – sparking hopes that the unlikeliest of victories may be on the cards.

Putin’s men renewed their bombardments on Mariupol, Chernihiv, Mykolaiv and Kharkiv this morning as his forces also tried to surround Kyiv in preparation for an assault, but have not significantly advanced their frontline since the city of Kherson and nuclear power plant at Zaporizhzhia were captured last week.

Meanwhile the Ukrainian armed forces claimed to have destroyed up to 30 Russian helicopters that had been moved to Chornobaivka airport, near Kherson, overnight and to have retaken the city of Chuhuiv, near Kharkiv, killing two Russian commanders – Lt. Col. Dmitry Safronov, and Lt Col. Denis Glebov – in the process.

Video also emerged which appeared to show Ukrainian defence forces based in Odessa, the country’s largest port, exchanging fire with ships overnight – one of which suffers a hit. Ukraine’s ministry of defence has since claimed the vessel was destroyed.

Ukraine’s military now estimates that 11,000 Russian soldiers have been killed in fighting along with the loss of 1,000 armoured vehicles, 290 tanks, 68 helicopters, 46 planes and dozens of other piece of hardware.

That’s an astonishing number of troops killed in just 11 days; in the 87 days from June 5 to August 31, 1944, the US armed forces lost 20,668 KIA in the Normandy campaign. If the globalist media is to be taken seriously, the Russians are losing soldiers in Ukraine at a rate 4.2x greater than the USA did while storming the beaches at Normandy. The Ukrainians must have some amazingly effective fortifications in place! But there is no reason to doubt these reports, since the top British military officials agree that Russia has already failed and is doomed to defeat.

Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, former leader of the Royal Navy and now Chief of the Defence Staff, added: ‘I think we’ve seen a Russian invasion that is not going well. ‘I think we’re also seeing remarkable resistance by Ukraine… Russia is suffering, Russia is an isolated power. It is less powerful than it was ten days ago. Some of the lead elements of Russian forces have been decimated by the Ukrainian response. The operation is considered at least a month behind schedule.’

If Russia is already more than a month behind schedule after only 11 days, President Putin clearly has no chance of succeeding in his objectives. He might as well surrender to the brave, sexy victor who is as independent as he is Ukrainian. Z really does stand for victory.

The USA Wants War

It just doesn’t want to take responsibility for starting it. The idiot neocons in the State Department just keep piling on the provocations:

US Secretary of State Tony Blinken told CBS News on Sunday that Washington has given a “green light” to NATO members to supply Ukraine with fighter jets, and that the US would work to replace any jets sent to Kiev. Blinken spoke after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged US lawmakers to intervene in the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Asked whether NATO members could begin sending planes to Ukraine, Blinken said “that gets a green light.” The US’ top diplomat then said that Washington was already working with Polish officials to “backfill” any aircraft they send to Ukraine – meaning the US would replace every Polish aircraft given to Kiev with an American one.

Supplying a belligerent with military material makes the supplier a co-belligerent. This is so brazen it doesn’t even qualify as a false flag; it’s similar to how the US got itself into WWI by loading up the Lusitania with arms, then decrying the sinking of the “passenger liner” by the Germans.

But let the record show that if there is war between Russia and NATO, it was with the full knowledge and connivance of the Fake Biden administration.

And soon everyone may be able to find out why the Russians haven’t been demonstrating the capabilities of their air force or their air defense systems.

Zelensky is No Hero

To the contrary, he’s a puppet who represents part of the problem in Ukraine, as US Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains to Fox News:

The Russians are causing exceedingly little damage, much less damage than we inflicted when we went into Iraq, in 1991 or again in 2003. Now I think they’re just surrounding the Ukrainian forces and they’re annihilating them. And this is inevitable. Mr. Zelensky is postponing the inevitable in the hopes that we are going to rescue him, and we are not coming. President Biden has made that very clear.

You think the end is in sight?

The end of this phase is still a few days away. The first five days, I think the Russian forces, frankly, were too gentle. They’ve now corrected that. So I would say that in another ten days this should be completely over. But the question is, what is it that Zelensky is going to do? The Russians have made it very clear that what they want is a neutral Ukraine. This could have ended days ago if he accepted that and then they could have adjusted the borders. The eastern part of Ukraine is firmly in Russian hands, but again, the Russians are not just seizing territory, they’re destroying Ukrainian forces, that’s their focus.

Colonel, it sounds like you don’t approve of Zelensky’s stand.

I think Zelensky is a puppet. He’s putting huge numbers of his own population at unnecessary risk, and quite frankly, most of what comes out of Ukraine is debunked as lies within 24-48 hours. The notion of taking and retaking airfields, all of this is nonsense. It hasn’t happened.

You don’t think he’s a hero?

No. No, I do not. I don’t see anything heroic about the man. And I think the most heroic thing he can do right now is come to terms with reality and neutralize Ukraine. This is not a bad thing. A neutral Ukraine would be good for us as well as good for Russia. It would create the buffer that both sides want. But I think he’s being told to hang on and try to drag this out, which is tragic for the people that have to live through this.

Unfortunately for the Ukrainian people, an end to the Russo-Ukrainian conflict is not in the interest of The Empire That Never Ended to which Zelensky answers. So, the war will continue another 10-14 days, until Ukraine’s combat capabilities are completely destroyed. I did find it interesting that the colonel’s estimate of how much longer the active operations would last was so close to my own from last night’s Darkstream.

In related news, Russia warned NATO and other neighboring countries that offering airfields to Ukraine would be a good way to ensure getting bombed and invaded.

Any country offering its air fields to Ukraine for attacks on Russia may be considered as having entered the conflict, a Russia defence ministry spokesman has said. “The use of the airfield networks of these countries to base Ukrainian military aircraft and their subsequent use against the Russian armed forces may be regarded as the involvement of these states in an armed conflict,” Interfax news agency quoted spokesman Igor Konashenkov as saying.

Why Russia is Holding Back

Both Russians and outsiders have been wondering why Russia is using second-line troops and neglecting to make use of its air forces. But Zelensky’s most recent speech demonstrates why:

As Russian forces pound strategic locations, Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky accused the West of abandoning millions of his people to their deaths at the hands of Putin’s troops.

In a bitter and emotional speech late on Friday, Zelensky lashed out at NATO powers for refusing to impose a no-fly zone over his country, warning that ‘all the people who die from this day forward will also die because of you’. He claimed the West’s hesitancy will fully untie Russia’s hands as it escalates its air attack.

NATO says a no-fly zone could provoke widespread war in Europe with nuclear-armed Russia. But as the United States and other NATO members send weapons for Kyiv and more than 1million refugees spill through the continent, the conflict is already drawing in countries far beyond Ukraine’s borders.

‘The alliance has given the green light to the bombing of Ukrainian cities and villages,’ he said, warning that ‘the history of Europe will remember this forever’. In a separate video message to anti-war protesters in several European cities, Zelensky continued to appeal for help. ‘If we fall, you will fall,’ he said.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had earlier ruled out the possibility of a no-fly zone, saying Western planes would have to shoot down Russian aircraft.

Russia is holding back because it is actively prepared for a full-scale war with NATO. Whether that is in anticipation of a second invasion of Eastern Europe or in response to a potential NATO intervention is impossible to say, but I guarantee you that plans for both scenarios, as well as various others, are already in place and are being updated as the conflict proceeds.

For example, no one is talking about the possibility of China attacking from the East and opening up a second front. But Russia has to have a plan or three in place to deal with that possibility, however improbable it might be. Remember, while the USA ended up utilizing certain elements of War Plan Orange, its 1924 plan for a war in the Pacific with Japan, during World War II, it also had War Plan Red on hand, which was a plan for a naval war with England that involved seizing the Great Lakes and Canadian ports, as well as a number of other plans for various scenarios that never came to pass.

Those who talk about Putin’s “failure” due to Russia’s inability to decapitate the Ukrainian leadership in a single strike simply don’t understand the depth of planning that goes into any operation of this scale. In fact, it’s not dissimilar to game design, in that the event trees extend to a level of detail that most people would find impossible to comprehend, let alone keep active track of in their heads.

The Russian strategists already know that “if x, then y” for a dizzying array of possibilities. They’ve planned for this, they’ve wargamed this, and they’ve run thousands of simulations on this. It’s the EU and NATO leaderships that don’t know what’s happening, which is why you keep seeing stupid statements being made, then retracted, by various government officials. Zelensky is trying to provide the factions within NATO and the USA that have wanted war with Russia for years with enough ammunition to overcome the more sensible factions that understand why any such war would be insane and fatal for NATO, the EU, and possibly the USA.

The Nuclear False Flag

The globohomo leaders are decrying a “Russian attack on a Ukrainian nuclear power plant” despite the absurdity of the claim.

Boris Johnson says ‘the security of the whole of Europe has been put at risk’ by Russia’s attack on Ukrainian nuclear power plant as Putin’s troops set it ablaze and seize control of the complex.

This was an obvious attempt at a false flag, as the Russian Ministry of Defense’s response proves:

The spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, issued an official statement on Friday morning concerning the shootout and fire that had occurred at Ukraine’s Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant earlier the same day.

“Last night, an attempt to carry out a horrible provocation was made by Kiev’s nationalist regime on the area surrounding the station,” he announced, claiming the Russian troops patrolling the territory had been attacked by a Ukrainian sabotage group.

According to the spokesman, the Ukrainian forces had attacked Russian soldiers at about 2am local time, opening heavy fire from the training facility next to the power station in order to “provoke a retaliatory strike on the building.”

The Russian patrol had neutralized the group’s firing points, but the saboteurs had then set fire to the training facility as they retreated, Konashenkov said. The blaze was put out by the Ukrainian State Emergency Service’s firefighters. “At the moment of provocation, no staff members were at the facility,” he noted.

The Russians already control most of the Ukrainian nuclear facilities. Taking control of them was one of the Russian military’s primary objectives. If they had any desire to blow one or more of them up and create a Chernobyl-style situation, they have the ability do so at any time. The fact that they haven’t done so, and that they continue not to do so, is sufficient evidence that they have no desire to do so.

It is, of course, the Zelensky regime that desperately wants to shriek about atrocities in order to support its false narrative, that has the motivation, albeit not the means, to create such a catastrophe. Hence the false flag, and the dutiful “Western” complaints about the false flag.

The Empire That Never Ended loves false flags. It’s a standard element of its repertoire. Always be aware of the probability – not merely the possibility – that any apparent “atrocity” that works to its benefit has been staged.

The Lies Never Stop

It’s no surprise that most people believe the nonsense being pushed by the anti-Russian globalist media, because it never stops even when directly contradicted by the very headlines of the story containing the false narrative:

Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, issued a video address to the nation in the early hours of Thursday, giving an upbeat assessment of the war and calling on Ukrainians to keep up the resistance.

‘We are a people who in a week have destroyed the plans of the enemy,’ he said, in the clip posted on social media. ‘They will have no peace here. They will have no food. They will have here not one quiet moment.’

Zelensky did not comment on whether the Russians have seized several cities, including Kherson. ‘If they went somewhere, then only temporarily. We’ll drive them out,’ he said.

He said the fighting is taking a toll on the morale of Russian soldiers, who ‘go into grocery stores and try to find something to eat.’ He added: ‘These are not warriors of a superpower. These are confused children who have been used,’ while giving the death toll at 9,000 Russian troops. The US believes the toll is actually around 6,000. Moscow has admitted only 500 deaths.

His assessment of the Russian attack was shared by several US defence analysts who said the campaign had been mismanaged, under-supplied, ineffective, and led to Moscow suffering much-higher casualties in the first few days of fighting than had been anticipated.

Now, on the Darkstream two nights ago, specifically episode 838 Separating Fact from Fiction, I estimated that Russian KIAs were between 250 and 500 troops, based on the number of troops involved in the operation and historical comparisons to the Six-Days War of 1967, Kuwait in 1991, and Iraq in 2003. The official Russian figure of 498 is therefore highly credible, and tends to reflect the way in which the Russian forces are not utilizing their air supremacy or their artillery to minimize their own casualties, because they are observably attempting to minimize civilian casualties.

Both the 6,000 and the 9,000 Russian KIAs reported by the USA and the Ukrainians, respectively, are obvious fiction. There is absolutely no way to rationalize what would amount to 31,500 casualties – as the ratio of wounded to KIA is normally around 3.5/1 – with the fact that the Russian forces are observably advancing through Ukraine at speeds comparable to “the most lethal and fastest ground combat formation in history”, the US 24th Infantry Division, which lost only 16 soldiers while advancing about 206 km from its position in Saudi Arabia to its final position west of Al Basrah in 100 hours, during which time it was responsible for the famous “Highway of Death”.

I note that Melitopol, which fell to Russian troops in less than 48 hours, is 161 kilometers from the Crimea. Kherson, the fall of which headlined the article linked above, is 418 kilometers away from Donetsk. This indicates that the Russians are actually moving faster than “the fastest ground combat formation in history” did.
