I wonder who he learned that tactic from. Hmm. Also, I wonder when Tucker Carlson will echo this, or maybe he already has.

We drew attention to the next groundless accusations against us, voiced by the US Deputy Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security Bonnie Jenkins. We are once again unreasonably credited with the presence of undeclared chemical weapons and their use. We would like to remind Bonnie Jenkins that during the special operation of the Ministry of Defense The Russian Federation received irrefutable information that the United States was preparing provocations to accuse the Russian Armed Forces of using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine. among the civilian population, while the State Department has already determined the order of "investigation" and appointed officials,responsible for its implementation," the commentary published inTelegram channel of the embassy.
"We call on Washington to change its mind and refrain from provocations that could lead to the death of tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens and cause an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe," the Russian diplomatic mission stressed.
Jenkins, in an article published on the website of Newsweek magazine on Friday , made harsh statements against Russia, attributing to it the presence and use of undeclared chemical weapons. According to the deputy head of the State Department, the United States, in turn, "is moving towards the fact that by September 2023" to destroy all of its "fully declared stocks" of chemical weapons. Now this program is completed in the US by 97%, and in the world by almost 99%, she stressed.

(16,423 posts)When Russia bombed the first ukrainian cities, it proposed a UN resolution demanding that "all" sides in the Russia-Ukraine-war commit to not attacking civilians.
When the massacre of Bucha was discovered, the West called in an emergency UN meeting on these russian atrocities. Russian media reported that it was Russia who had called in the meeting because it was an ukrainian atrocity.
When Russia was kicked out of the UN Human Rights Commission, AFTER THE VOTE, AFTER OFFICIALLY HAVING BEEN KICKED OUT the russian representative stood up and gave a speech that Russia hereby declares its voluntary withdrawal from this commission because it has been politicized.
After the Biden administration approved in mid-April the delivery of heavy weapons, Russia sent a letter to please don't because delivering these weapons would make the situation in Ukraine only worse.
This is typical gaslighting. Russia has been doing this for about 2 decades now.
Putin won't use WMDs because they would bring this war to an end either way. Putin wants a neverending war against the West, as a domestic excuse for turning Russia into a fascist dictatorship.

He's 70 and willing to go down. Put too much military equipment in Ukraine and he'll nuke it. I voted for Biden and will do so again, but, I will criticize his foreign policy. This isn't the 1980's anymore and we can't expect rational USSR leaders. This a nationalist willing to do the unthinkable. Sanctions, armament, etc. are old solutions that never worked. New thinking is required.
And if there isn't...I'll move somewhere close to the equator and say good luck to the rest...if you survive.
