F William Engdahl’s analysis on the real reasons Putin acted against Ukraine. Engdahl also gives more background on the bioweapons labs, Neo Nazi Azov Brigades persecution of Russian speakers in Eastern Ukraine, the color revolution, Naval base development…. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On February 19 in Munich, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy made his threat to deploy nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory. He expressed this as his unilateral revocation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, although Ukraine was not a signatory of the agreement. Two days later on the evening of February 21, Putin made his speech recognizing the sovereign independence of the Donetsk and Lugansk People\u2019s Republics. He explicitly referenced Zelenskyy\u2019s Munich nuclear weapons pledge: \u201cThis is not empty bravado,\u201d Putin stressed in his speech.<\/p>http:\/\/williamengdahl.com\/englishNEO9Mar2022.php<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
I thought I’d add this article I read yesterday. You’ll notice above that Engdahl goes through a lot of factual information you can investigate yourself and then draw your own conclusions. Having read most of Engdahl’s books, he puts citations at the end of every chapter, and I’ve checked and investigated items I found difficult to believe and developed a respect for how he writes. However, this AP story in the liberal silicon valley rag shows you how propaganda works. Not a lot of facts or references, but a whole lot of name calling and misrepresentation. If you question the official narrative you’re lumped in with conspiracy theorists, vaccine deniers, Qanon… But they actually at one point give you something true that doesn’t match up with the rest of the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the labs are owned and operated by Ukraine, and the work is not secret. It\u2019s part of an initiative called the Biological Threat Reduction Program that aims to reduce the likelihood of deadly outbreaks, whether natural or manmade<\/strong>. The U.S. efforts date back to work in the 1990s to dismantle the former Soviet Union\u2019s program for weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>https:\/\/www.mercurynews.com\/2022\/03\/11\/russias-bioweapons-conspiracy-theory-garners-us-support\/<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
