The UNSC meeting is interesting. The Russian allegations are quite mild and could plausibly be true. Americans have been researching pathogens that could have military application, and pose a health risk to the local Ukrainian people. They're not claiming America unleashed COVID-19 on the world like the Americans are accusing China of.

The pro-US countries are calling it disinformation as expected. The one African country so far (Ghana) has said these claims need to be investigated by the relevant authorities, but Russian forces need to withdraw first. I expect the other African countries will say something similar. The Indian delegate didn't seem to listen to anything the Russian said and made a vague ambivalent statement about the war, nothing to do with biological weapons. At least he didn't bring up Indian students again.

It'll be interesting to hear what the Chinese delegate says.

Overall, it's not news to me that America would be researching pathogens for military application. Both Russia and America are doing it. 90% of this will be for defensive purposes (like developing vaccines), but both countries would be interested in offensive capacity, if only to see what the "other side" can do.

I find it strange that America would set up these research facilities in countries as far away as the Ukraine, but I guess that's because of their overuse of private contractors.

Whatever is going on in them, the American government will not want their biolabs to be investigated by the UN under any circumstances, so if Russia or politicians in America keep pushing them on this it'll continue to cast them in a bad light.

So did the Chinese delegate say anything? It seems that they abstained from this meeting.

Yet another creative proposal from a retired US military officer. Retired colonel Cedric Leighton suggests giving Ukraine the Turkish S-400:

It's gonna take months for Ukrainian PVO personnel to learn to operate this thing. S-400 is a miles ahead from S-300PS and PM they previously operates, although the principles are similar.

if they could tho, it would be a boost which can actually forces Russians to fly bit lower. If they choose to not deploy 40V6 mast, low altitude coverage might suffer and have to be filled in with Buks or Tunguska.

The following depicts possible coverage if it deployed near Lviv. This assumes no 40V6M mast. The radar allows coverage up to Baranovichi. But engagement, assuming only 48N6E3 is provided is limited, for example. Kiev and Zhytomyr is not covered.

Only if 40N6 missile is provided then it can engage Russian AEW in Belarus.

He did, and I think it was the best answer.

He said we've received specific information from Russia about biolabs in Ukraine which were concerning and that if Russian allegations are fake, all they need to do is prove evidence. No deranged claims about America planning on using biological weapons like the American representative was claiming Russia was planning on doing.

He also referred to the American allegations against China and COVID-19. I think the implication there was to allow inspectors into US biolabs, just as China did with Wuhan and the WHO. There's no way on earth America would allow that so it's diplomatically a checkmate move.

Overall I think I underestimated the Russian propaganda efforts. Russians may still be losing the information war, but they can still embarrass the Americans diplomatically. Most countries aren't parroting the American line, just the European one's are. The rest are now either directly or indirectly supporting Russia. Even Brazil and Mexico surprised me.

Just went back into it. It looks like I jumped in a bit late and skipped over them when looking for their response. I agree as well. While this meeting may have not immediately changed the world’s view of the US as expected, it does create intrigue and interest in this situation. As long as the Russians and Chinese continuously and publicly press this issue, the US will most likely feel heavy diplomatic pressure that threatens its diplomatic image.

"They are beautiful and resilient". Canada's CTV news network promoted Ukrainian neonazi in celebrating the Women's day.

On March 8, CTV broadcast video of Ukrainian female soldiers wearing "Schwarze Sonne".

The image and web page recorded by the WayBack Machine archive:

The tag line "Why you can trust CTV News" is such a laugh in the face of their audience by these journalists liars. Their "Editoral standards and policies" must be a joke.

Screenshot of the video captured by Internet users:

Ukraine's ministry of foreign affairs immediately picked up this trash and used it in its own propaganda:

On March 10, CTV posted this tweet. A nazi symbol is merely "offensive"? Even more disgusting is the 902 likes:
