America vetoed the Polish proposal to fly their Mig-29s to a U.S. base in Germany – because we knew it risked WW3. The Poles knew the same thing. Why didn't they care?

Russian Americans are the people who *left* Russia. This is like discriminating against Cuban Americans because you hate Castro.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1501254432058716164 …

I'm now a "random fruitcake" because I pointed out that Victoria Nuland's testimony today was damaging to U.S. messaging about biolabs. Even though I expressly said I'm *not* accusing the U.S. of developing offensive weapons. It's now too dangerous to even ask questions.https://twitter.com/im_PULSE/status/1501360380676911104 …

To be clear: I'm not alleging these biolabs were developing offensive weapons. Russia is alleging that. I'm just pointing out the awkward position Victoria Nuland's testimony put the U.S. in.

America: Our biolabs in Ukraine are purely defensive. Nothing to see here, folks. Also America: GOD FORBID RUSSIA CAPTURE THEM.

And I'm not just talking about the content of her testimony, as many questions as that raised. I'm also talking about her demeanor. When asked about the bio-labs, Nuland looked like she'd seen a ghost. I'm a lawyer, I know how to evaluate witnesses. She was STRESSED.

I'm aware that the existence of the biolabs was public. What Russia alleged was that the U.S. and Ukraine were pursuing research at the labs on dangerous biological agents. The testimony of Victoria Nuland just made that accusation more credible.

If Russia was telling the truth about Ukraine's biolabs (and we don't know that... yet), we have to reevaluate a lot of things. Suddenly the claim of a secret nuclear-weapons program at #Chernobyl has to be investigated too.

Nuland says we need to deny Russia access to the "research materials" at the labs. What kind of biological research materials did Ukraine have that Russia doesn't?! Russia already has every bio-agent known to man, including smallpox. Was this... something new?

Victoria Nuland just testified that the U.S. is working to prevent Russia from capturing bio-labs in Ukraine. If the work the labs were doing was purely defensive... why is that important?

If you think Putin is Hitler, come out and say we need to fight a third world war to stop him. If you aren't willing to say that, then don't advocate acts of war against Russia. It's really that simple.

In reality, these people simply want to go to war with Russia. Some of them are *on the record* claiming that NATO should use military force to retake Crimea and the Donbas. When the no-fly zone fails, they'll say we need ground troops. Don't be fooled.

The idea that we need a "humanitarian no-fly zone" to stop Russia from massacring civilians in Ukraine is insane. If Russia wanted to commit genocide, it could just do it with its infantry and artillery.https://twitter.com/ClintEhrlich/status/1501319388615512067 …

MSNBC's Noah Rothman mocked me for sounding the alarm about what he called a "one-woman lobby" for a NFZ over Ukraine. She's got 26 co-signatories now, Noah. You ready to admit the lobby exists? Or are you still in denial mode?https://twitter.com/NoahCRothman/status/1496504504694546443?t=i2HYXiKVu2nioNNi2LIesg&s=19 …

When I warned about the lobby pushing a no-fly zone, this blue-check "expert" called my claim "absolute bollocks." He said nobody, absolutely nobody, was pushing a NFZ. Now 27 high-level officials and think tankers are on the record. Weird!https://twitter.com/KyleWOrton/status/1496325009937162245?t=lAVo0pvv16UC02MKwaoZyA&s=19 …
