Tucker Carlson Slams Lies Of Biden Administration Over Bioweapons In Ukraine
Tucker Carlson on Fox News last night destroyed the obvious lies and ‘misinformation’ coming from the Biden Administration and their compliant media on the issue of biological weapons labs in Ukraine.
American elites have squandered our technological and manufacturing advantage over both Russia and China.
Few dispute that the Ukraine crisis brings with it the risk of nuclear escalation. The reverse also might be true: The Ukraine crisis may be the result of a shift in the world’s nuclear balance.
With an economy smaller than the state of Texas, Russia has built strategic weapons superior to many in the American arsenal. These include land as well as submarine-launched hypersonic weapons that can carry nuclear missiles past any American defense, as well as the world’s best air defense system, the S-500. The October 4, 2021, test of Russia’s submarine-launched “Zircon” hypersonic missile was the first-ever underwater firing of a low-altitude weapon that flies at nine times the speed of sound, according to Russian claims. A Russian sub lurking a hundred miles off the American coast could nuke Washington in a flat minute.
Russia says documents suggest ‘components of bioweapons were being developed in Ukraine’
Speaking at a weekly briefing in Moscow, Maria Zakharova said the Russian armed forces received evidence of the development of biological weapon components by Ukraine under US guidance from the employees of Ukraine’s biological labs.

Ukraine war adding massive costs for farmers – and consumers are about to feel it too
As Russia‘s invasion of Ukraine drives consumer prices higher globally, Canadian farmers are feeling the sticker shock, too, as they incur massive costs to continue running their operations and ensure grocery store shelves remain stocked.
Joe Biden Defiant: Boosting U.S. Oil Production ‘Will Not’ Lower Gas Prices; Electric Cars Will
“Loosening environmental regulations or pulling back clean energy investment won’t — let me expand. Won’t. Will not lower energy prices for families,” he said during a speech at the White House announcing his decision to ban oil imports from Russia to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for escalating his war in Ukraine.
Russia Should Worry: The US Military Has Activated Its Strategic Materiel Stockpile
For the past weeks, the 405th Army Field Support Brigade has been preparing for the incoming troops by activating the Army Prepositioned Stock-2 sites, which are capable of outfitting an entire armored brigade combat team.
The strategic reserves at the Army Prepositioned Stock-2 sites include hundreds of M1 Abrams tanks, M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, Paladin M109A6 self-propelled howitzers, supply trucks, and other vehicles.
A wake-up call for Canada’s military reserves strategy
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine risks creating a global military conflagration for which Canada is depressingly unprepared.
For decades, while geopolitical tensions have mounted around the globe, Canada’s defence spending has fallen, dropping from two per cent of GDP in 1990, to 1.3 per cent in 2019, leaving our militarily ill-equipped nation incapable of purchasing a single fighter jet after 13 years of trying or replacing military pistols from the Second World War, and one that fails to live up to its past as a leading international peacekeeper.
A UFC fighter makes a stunning statement about the US and the Ukraine war
For reasons that make no sense to me, a reporter asked UFC fighter (and champion) Bryce Mitchell what he thinks about events in Ukraine. I mean, with all due respect to UFC fighters, why in the world should we care what they think about events in Eastern Europe? Well, it turned out that, when it comes to Mitchell, it was worthwhile caring, because he gave a full-throated defense of American values — the primary of which is that he’ll fight like hell to defend his homeland but has no desire to be dragged into a war thousands of miles away in a repeat of Vietnam or Afghanistan. My bet is that a lot of Americans feel as he does.
Following social media pressure, McDonald’s joins companies suspending business in Russia
On Tuesday, McDonald’s announced in a statement that it will temporarily close its more than 800 restaurants and pause all operations in Russia. The U.S.-based chain said it will continue to pay salaries of the 62,000 Russian employees who will be affected by the closure.
United Nations advises staff against using ‘war’ or ‘invasion’ regarding Ukraine
Instead, UN staff have been instructed to use the terms “conflict” or “military offensive” to describe Russia’s invasion of its neighbour, which has killed hundreds of civilians and forced two million people to flee the country.

Trudeau tours NATO base, announces renewal of Canadian mission in Latvia
The mandate for the deployment of hundreds of Canadian soldiers in Latvia had been slated to expire in 2023. The federal cabinet has extended it indefinitely in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Russian fury grows over Putin’s madness
The Kremlin is desperately trying to crack down on any dissent to the brutal invasion of Ukraine and a total of 13,500 demonstrators have now been arrested since the war was waged.
Anti-Putin sentiment is also hitting the high street with consumers told to limit the number of items in their shopping baskets as sanctions start to bite.
