Not only does the US have secret bioweapons labs in Ukraine they have them in Russia too!

For 10 years, these activities have been referred to by DOD as the Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) and have been implemented by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). They have been carried out in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Ukraine.

  Some people seem to think I'm a defender or supporter of the CPC and PRC. I'm not but 30 year of studying them have demonstrated one thing: they're depressingly durable. Countless predictions of China's imminent economic collapse have proven incorrect. But currently the Chinese economy is starting to look more and more like the Japanese economy at the start of their "lost decade" of the 1990's. Back in 1979 when the Dengist reforms started, China had a massive deficit in almost every form of physical infrastructure. Much of China's economic growth since then can be attributed to building infrastructure -ports; airports; railway lines; power plants - that increased economic efficiency. But that deficit has been largely made up and the economic returns on further investments in physical infrastructure have fallen sharply. This is why, for example, the expansion of the high speed real network has effectively been halted. Xi and the Presidium know all ...

  https://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/chalmers-fantasy-of-making-a-better-capitalism-is-absurd,17189 The problem with Chalmers' essay about "value-based capitalism" is that it's a bunch of benign long term aspirations - much like Labor's talk of reforming Medicare. But just as with Medicare, the current Labor government is hamstrung by their determination to deliver massive tax cuts promised by the last government, massively increase defense spending and pursue a lower deficit despite the fact we have among the lowest budget deficits and public deft as a percentage of GDP in the developed world. Faced with reports of a radical reduction in this year's budget deficit, Chalmers response isn't relief so much as embarrassment and an insistence that no additional public spending is possible. So with Medicare we get vague talk of allowing nurses, chemists and other related professions to prescribe medications that can currently only be pre...

John Mearsheimer's lecture "Why is Ukraine the west's fault" has been getting a whole lot of attention lately mainly because of its title and because it appeals to the narcissistic and solipsistic worldview of many westerners. - it's from 2015 so it's 7 years out of date. Simply put, if you actually listen to the lecture as opposed to simply waving a link to it around in lieu of an actual argument, events since then have proven him catastrophically wrong. - Mearsheimer starts out by giving a backgrounder in which he feels the need to explain that France is next to Germany and Ukraine is next to Russia. That pretty much sets the level for the rest of the lecture. (He also completely omits Great Britain from his discussion of European geopolitics.) Oh good now he's describing the massacre of peaceful protesters in 2014 as "an overreaction" and "messy" "What they're doing is not trying to conquer Ukraine. That's not going...
