https://youtu.be/sx30xtwRSfs Is this guy supporting Russia too? Basically the exact same arguments.
March 11, 2022 at 18:56
I'm not supporting Russia. I'm not cheering on Ukrainians to die for no achievable military objective, that is not the same as supporting Russia; it i...

She's asked about bio-weapons, she answer that Ukraine does have biological laboratories (that are secret otherwise we could lookup their websites) wi...
March 11, 2022 at 16:47
It's a fact that there's only one common sense interpretation of what Nuland is literally saying. Now, it's possible she's lying or she's just misinfo...
March 11, 2022 at 16:40
We're literally at the level of grammatical analysis that if the police ask a suspect if they've been killing people, and they answer "yeah, sure, som...
March 11, 2022 at 16:23
These are literally questions. It would would be up to you to propose a conjecture to answer said questions. You've already conjectured that "labs" co...
March 11, 2022 at 16:17
If it was just rumor on the internet; sure, conspiracy theory stuff, maybe based on some real cloak and dagger happenings, maybe totally fake, maybe j...
March 11, 2022 at 16:15
Then why would Nuland talk about non-bio-weapons-related labs in response to a question about bio-weapons? Are you just saying she's a total moron?
March 11, 2022 at 16:10
This whole development about bio weapons labs, is truly and utterly bizarre. Already what's admitted to by Nuland is massive bombshell level, and Russ...
March 11, 2022 at 16:06
To setup the breakout maneuver to push North, you'd definitely want to first push West to push out to protect forward operating bases, and to just for...
March 11, 2022 at 16:03
That's why I mention the naval base in Crimea which can easily bring in supply, heavy armor and additional troops. They have been holding the territor...
March 11, 2022 at 15:49
This map is way more informative, thanks for posting. If the Russians have been basically just keeping the Ukraine forces in the East to setup this mo...
March 11, 2022 at 15:44
At the moment, at least nominally, Russia is still offering to end the war if Crimea annexation is recognized, the Eastern breakaway regions independe...
March 11, 2022 at 15:38
I wouldn't agree that's the best solution, considering that it seems it was possible to not have a war at all. But it does seem to me Russia can milit...
March 11, 2022 at 15:16
To continue my military analysis of what's going on. So far the Aljezera map seems to be most accurate and useful (with distinctions of zones and oper...
March 11, 2022 at 14:54
I'm pretty confident Israel wouldn't show up and fight for Ukraine. However, I completely agree that the play was to hold out as long as possible, foc...
March 11, 2022 at 14:38
... This is literally what you say: That US "leaked intel" has been correct so far, nothing clandestine about it at all, and therefore trustworthy goi...
March 11, 2022 at 13:07
What's there not to understand? What strawman?
March 11, 2022 at 12:53
Your narrative is based on "leaked intel": aka. trusting the government in question's intel is accurate to begin with and leaked for the purpose of "j...
March 11, 2022 at 12:45
And it could get even bigger ... it's possible that the Russians discover the exact lab where SARS-COV-V2 originated, and manage to prove it ... maybe...
March 11, 2022 at 12:28
I respond to exactly what you say ... what are you missing. You say you're "interpreting" government actions ... like "leaked intel" which are still g...
March 11, 2022 at 12:10
And, just so everyone's aware, one good explanation for everything: 1. Snap surprise invasion planned in a week 2. Conventional warfare not starting f...
March 11, 2022 at 11:59
So, you "interpret" leaked intel as being 100% credible. But our interpreting Nuland's clear answers to direct questions to just mean what she clearly...
March 11, 2022 at 11:49
And you base this "strategy" of objective truth telling openness ... on what? On leaked intel?
March 11, 2022 at 11:44
Neither Nuland nor Tucker Carlson are Russians. And, your whole argument is "statements" by the government have no factual, or even critical thinking ...
March 11, 2022 at 11:34
It's basically impossible to have any intelligible discussion with this level of denial. The question is about bio weapons, a weapon of mass destructi...
March 11, 2022 at 11:26
Totally agree, Tucker basically lays out a pretty good critical analysis of this truly extraordinary exchange. We certainly don't know the truth yet. ...
March 11, 2022 at 11:21
This is literally witness testimony. Nuland obviously knows about these labs. This seems to me completely delusional. You're saying US has leaked inte...
March 11, 2022 at 11:10
This is a totally normal process ... and may also be happening to Ukrainian forces. To say Russia is losing requires not just Russian losses, but more...
March 11, 2022 at 10:46
Yes, and if the offer was bad faith and Putin attacked anyways, then it's far easier to legitimately claim there is an existential war happening with ...
March 11, 2022 at 10:05
You don't seem to be following the conversation. The evidence is what Isaac just literally transcribed. We can assume Nuland knows whatever these labs...
March 11, 2022 at 09:59
Both Isaac and I have already commented that normal biol labs in universities, hospitals and private companies aren't really a concern if they "fall i...
March 11, 2022 at 09:55
Thanks for transcribing ... it's pretty common sense Tucker Carlson's questions, and credit where credit's due.
March 11, 2022 at 09:49
Government statements represent the fact the government made that statement, and give rise to legitimate questions about those statements. That's how ...
March 11, 2022 at 09:48
It's a completely valid source for just showing the super strange Q&A with Nuland at a public senatorial hearing. Whatever this conversation represent...
March 11, 2022 at 09:24
The problem with the bioweapons lab thing ... is that US seems to have admitted to it. As surreal as it is, Fox News has some actual critical thinking...
March 11, 2022 at 09:16
Yeah, I think a lot of people base their expectations on Iraq and Afghanistan / first person shooter games. We haven't seen much conventional warfare ...
March 11, 2022 at 08:51
I should have time today to look for sources, I'm not sure what sources you want. One reason I try to avoid posting sources is simply that leads to ac...
March 11, 2022 at 08:06
Yes, so far we've heard mainly about the ATMG's and Manpads, but there maybe other things in the pipe or stuff deployed in secret. But mechanized warf...
March 10, 2022 at 22:16
I'm not averse to it, but the whole point of my post is that we don't really know what's going on. Western media continuously say one unsourced thing,...
March 10, 2022 at 21:29
I'd also like to point out that the video posted also demonstrates a crap ton of those weapons these "volunteers" are holding: for sure going to organ...
March 10, 2022 at 20:23
For here a bit certainly, but the Western mainstream media basically take this idea as the gospel truth. Yes, definitely Putin could stop at any momen...
March 10, 2022 at 20:12
And the reason Ukraine government doesn't take the deal (even if they see no way of winning; could be a lot of losses on the Ukrainian side and no fun...
March 10, 2022 at 19:41
People that are against negotiation on principle can maybe consider police negotiators as a useful framework. Do police negotiators just show up and c...
March 10, 2022 at 19:30
I honestly don't feel there's accurate enough information to make these sorts of conclusions on the order of days. If a position is held for a week, t...
March 10, 2022 at 19:11
There's a lot of conversations I haven't had time to continue today, unfortunately. However, since the Western media insists extremely strongly on the...
March 10, 2022 at 18:41
We seem in agreement on the key points. Certainly Russia doesn't prepare for a US style minimal casualty conflict that it conducted at the start. In m...
March 08, 2022 at 17:26
Disagreeing about what? Obviously the sanctions have an impact. But, if they won't cause Russian's to rise up nor affect the Kremlin's war policy, the...
March 08, 2022 at 14:05
Nobody here has said the sanctions and the cost of the war itself don't have immense economic impacts. wrote a few key points about the economic impac...
March 08, 2022 at 11:49
That's the hard truth for sure. And, if the West cared so much, could have let Ukraine into NATO and the EU and given them hundreds of billions of Eur...
