And once again if you listen to the full context -- the labs in the Ukraine are Ministry of Health government-run labs similar to the CDC in the U.S. These are not bio-weapon labs. They are disease control public health research labs supported by the international community including the U.S. Of course, we should be concerned about the Russians bombing or destroying these labs -- possibly releasing samples of disease. In the same way we should be worried about the Russians bombing nuclear plants releasing radiation. All aligned exactly with what the earlier article stated: There are no U.S. military-run labs in Ukraine, said Andy Weber, a member of the Arms Control Association Board of Directors and a former assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs. "Rather, the U.S. Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Program has provided technical support to the Ukrainian Ministry of Health since 2005 to improve public health laboratories, whose mission is analogous to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," Weber told PolitiFact.
This is terrible, now they are free of Facebook, Twitter, McDonalds, Starbucks.. Why can't Putin cancel our Facebook? He is true evil.
Allegedly the US consented to Poland giving the planes to Ukraine but objected to Poland just giving the planes to the Americans and saying "you do it." If that is not the case then I will watch for a different set of "facts" and will adjust my view accordingly. In addition, the State Department alleges that Poland did not even inform them before they went public with the announcement that they were dumping them on to the Americans. I say again the players need to work this out in the background. The state department may be lying through their arse. I don't know. If Poland denies that, then I will watch for that.
