Remember when the left and the media went off on Tulsi Gabbard because of concerns over the U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine?
RUSSIAN ASSET. CHINESE SPY. DISINFORMATION.
Oh, wait…
Plus French President Emmanuel Macron absorbs even more Russian gas, ticking off Kyiv.
What did Gabbard say in March?
March 13, 2022.
What did the Defense Department quietly admit on June 9? (I missed it due to travel):
—
Ukraine owns and operates its public health laboratories and associated infrastructure, and the United States is proud to collaborate, cooperate, and provide assistance in support of this infrastructure. These facilities operate just like other state or local public health and research laboratories around the world. Furthermore, all equipment and training provided by the United States is subject to U.S. export control processes, audits, and acquisition laws and regulations, which ensures transparency and compliance with domestic and international laws.
What did the media report a few weeks ago?
Now does that mean the labs are as nefarious as Russia and China make them seem to be? Absolutely not!
It’s not like Tulsi made it sound like the U.S. and Ukraine had these evil nuclear plans cooking in the backyards of Kyiv.
Is anyone shocked the U.S. has these biolabs? I’m not. We probably have them everywhere.
But go ahead, leftists, and make everything seem like it’s all at a 12 when it’s not even at a 2.
The bombing of Chernihiv has led to officials evacuating the city:
Russian forces fired three missiles on Pryluky district in Ukraine’s northern Chernihiv region, forcing evacuations of some residents due to the fear of fire spreading, according to officials.A still image of the aftermath showed a massive, black plume of smoke rising above the skyline.“At about 1:15 p.m., the occupiers fired three missiles at Pryluky in the Chernihiv region,” Ukraine’s Operational Command “North” said in a statement on Facebook.Evacuations have been announced for the villages of Zaiizd, Petrivske, Tykhe and Sukhostavets of Pryluky district.”The reason for that is the threat of fire spreading,” said Serhii Boldyrev, director of the Department of Civil Defense of the Chernihiv Regional State Administration, told Ukraine’s public broadcaster.While there are no known casualties, the Chernihiv region has not been a regular target of Russian strikes or shelling recently.In March of this year, Chernihiv “suffered great losses,” specifically the city of Chernihiv, after coming under sustained Russian attack leaving scores dead.Chernihiv was then occupied by Russian forces, but they withdrew in April.
Russia destroyed every bridge to Severodonetsk. Civilians are stuck. No one can get in to help them:
With the city effectively cut off, Serhiy Haidai says delivering supplies and evacuating civilians are now impossible.Fierce fighting is taking place in the eastern city where Ukrainian officials said Russian artillery had driven its forces out of the centre.For weeks capturing Severodonetsk has been a top military goal for Russia.Taking Severodonetsk and the nearby city of Lysychansk would give Moscow control of the entire Luhansk region, much of which is already controlled by Russian-backed separatists.All three bridges into Severodonetsk were destroyed, Mr Haidai posted on Telegram. Those residents remaining in the city were being forced to survive in “extremely difficult conditions”, he added.Former British soldier Jordan Gatley is among those to have been killed while fighting to defend the city, his family confirmed on Sunday.Ukraine’s President Volodomyr Zelensky described the human cost of the battle for the city as “terrifying”. Ukrainian troops, he said, had been fighting Russian forces for “literally every metre”.Reports suggest that about 70% of the city is now under Russian control.
Man, Macron cannot win.
It’s not easy letting go of a main energy source. France is not the only one, by the way:
Russia made €93 billion (£80 billion) in fossil fuel exports during the first 100 days of the war, according to a report from the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (Crea), an independent research organisation based in Finland.The EU in total accounted for 61 per cent of Russia’s total fossil fuel exports, worth about €57 billion (£49 billion), even as the bloc moved to reduce its dependence on Russian energy.France, Belgium and the Netherlands had snapped up shipments of the Kremlin’s fossil fuels at discounted prices after other buyers cut back their purchases during the conflict, Crea said.While Russian missiles and bombs were raining down on Ukraine in April and May, France received 12 shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and other fossil fuel products worth almost €900 million (£773 million), the report showed.
But let’s not forget that Macron has been talking to Putin a lot since the full-scale invasion began.
