President Biden Warns Putin Is Considering Using Chemical Weapons In Ukraine

 

Daily Mail: Joe Biden warns Putin is thinking about using chemical and biological weapons in Ukraine because 'his back is against the wall' - while Zelensky vows not to bow to Russian 'ultimatums' 

* Biden said Russian claims that Ukraine is storing WMDs is a 'clear sign' Moscow is thinking of using them itself 

* Vladimir Putin's 'back is against the wall' after the initial phase of his invasion failed, the US President added 

* Biden said Russia will face 'severe' consequences if weapons are used, without spelling out what he would do 

* President Zelensky vowed not to bow to Russian 'ultimatums', though said he still hopes for talks with Putin 

Vladimir Putin is thinking about using weapons of mass destruction in Ukraine, President Joe Biden has warned, because his 'back is against the wall' after the initial phase of his invasion spectacularly failed. 

Biden said that warnings out of Moscow that Ukraine possesses biological and chemical weapons is a 'clear sign' that Putin is considering using 'both of those', following a well-established pattern of Russian disinformation where accusations are used to provide cover for the Kremlin's own actions. 

Russia has recently accused the US of storing WMDs in Europe - something Biden said is 'simply not true, I guarantee you' - and of funding bioweapons labs in Ukraine. America acknowledges funding Ukrainian labs, but says they are used to detect disease outbreaks and for bio-defence.

"Biden said Russian claims that Ukraine is storing WMDs is a 'clear sign' Moscow is thinking of using them itself"

Biden blathering aside, if Ukraine had any, they were destroyed, Russia is trying to close in on the stock piles or Ukraine is moving or used them.

Russia had moles in the military. They would know where the purported stockpiles were.
Russia could have destroyed them already as they have hit military installation hard. If stockpiles were hit then there could be secondary casualties. See the book "Disaster at Bari".

If Ukrainians were afraid of losing the stock pile due to air strike or overrun, they would have been tempted to use them. No reports.

How would the Ukrainians move the chemical weapons when rods are subjected to interdiction by air especially with the les whine Ukrainian military?

Russian accusations do not stand up.

My take: US officials know that Azov has taken control of some of the chemical/biological weapons. While they are now integrated within the Ukrainian military they still operate independently of the MOD according to their own organizational structure and, like any rational actor in their position, they're holding onto them for leverage.

Unlike in Syria where Obama was practically telling HTS exactly what they needed to do in order to trigger an intervention, we don't actually want to do that in Ukraine. At the same time we don't have the capability or political will to intervene against our own proxy forces in order to secure the weapons.

So instead we get daily reminders that Putin is about to use them to build deniability in the event that we wake up one day to the news that a terrible outbreak has happened after a Russian missile strikes their hiding spot.

" one Russian "narrated his trip from Moscow’s Red Square to a San Diego hotel room, with layovers in CancĂșn and Mexico City. His YouTube video shows him confessing to nerves after buying a used car in Tijuana, but he says later in San Diego that everything went smoothly – despite two days in US custody"

Why should we worry abut chemical weapons? America is being invaded and the fuck of president does nothing.

evidence? (he does not agree with me)

Evidence of Azov battalion having chemical weapons? None.

3 months from now, Azov battalion will not exist and no chemical weapons will have been released, but you will still be comfortably Anon and spouting crap about something else.

I'm not the one bringing up chemical weapons in the national media multiple times a day. Just trying to understand why corporatist democrats are. There is also no evidence that Russia plans to use chemical weapons beyond Biden claiming that he read Putin's mind.

I do imagine Azov will continue to exist long past your 3 month expiration date however. They're flush with money and weapons and have an immense amount of friendly territory to operate within around western Ukraine and friendly baltic states.

The topic was Azov battalion and your accusations of them potentially using chemical weapons.

There is a cordon around Mariupol and soon there will be one around Donbas. So how will Azov escape exactly?

You let them escape, if they consent to pull a train on your ass?

More loud farts coming straight from the mouth of the demented, drooling US President. And all the brain dead American Democrat voters sniff them with relish!

There are 3000 Azov fighters in Mariupol. That does not constitute the totality of their organization. Nowhere close. My speculation isn't to be read as fact, I never proposed it as such. I also never implied that they intended to use chemical weapons. I speculated that in the Ukrainian theater, where Russian forces are hitting upwards of 200 targets a day, if there is a stockpile of chemical weapons in Ukraine (which most sides seem to have agreed on at some point) that it's a matter of time before it eats an iskander missile.

After two categorically proven attempts at a chemical weapon false flag in Syria, which the permanent washington establishment feverishly tried to capitalize off of before the investigations could conclude, I no longer trust them at their word on the subject.

"4:49 Why are you worried about a few Caucasian immigrants?"

Most of them will be decent people. Some of them will be working for Moscow or will ber recruited by Moscow after they come here.

All as a matter of fairness if you allow Russians to illegally immigrate liberals will want everyone to illegally immigrate. they will go to court.

Better everything be legal immigration with background checks.
