Ukraine war: Fact-checking Russia's biological weapons claims

Russia has claimed without any evidence that biological weapons are being developed in laboratories in Ukraine with support from the United States.

The BBC is notorious for its support of the US line in Ukraine as is our ABC and SBS. The US has "advisors" for all of the high tech weaponry it sends and its war morality is questionable to say the least - only nation to deploy the A Bomb twice on brown people. It would be surprising if bio weapons weren't on the table, after all they were used in Syria and their use blamed on Al Assad. Subsequent investigations suggested otherwise.

Sal is off topic again. There is a dedicated thread for this topic but it's all grist for the mill if one's intention is to de-rail and stop discussion.

Quite amazingly, Tulsi tells it like it is. There's a context to the war that you and Randolfo blithely dismiss. Worldwide, it is only the West that subscribes to the wanton aggression out of nowhere view, 90% of the world sees it differently. It sees US aggression. But not you, far too well informed by the right wing media you consume. Randy, too, is very lucid and insightful in comments re Palestine and he sees, at last apparently, that The US is not the ally we should depend on. Malcolm Fraser, your erstwhile glorious leader, said it straight out but the cognitive dissonance would have been such that you probably ridiculed ol' Mal as a heretic preferring the opinions of the Year 10 leavers on Sky.

And this has what to do with the upcoming federal election

Can you provide a link to that biological warfare reference? News Ltd wouldn't be acceptable obviously.

Possibly yes as people are easily swayed Another one before the election would be very helpful to his chances

Labor are running an ad to put a 'Mediscare' label on Pistol Pete. Only thing is they've edited and cut n paste (quite roughly) it to misrepresent his comments in an old interview when he had some carpet on the dome.

They make it look like he is saying "Medicare is dead" when it is part of a longer sentence where he goes on to say "if not made sustainable". He then goes on to state the Coalitions plan for making it sustainable.

Blatant skulduggery. Can't they focus on their "achievements " rather than craft sneaky lying ads? Oh thats right...

That's disgusting! Fancy a political party stooping that low to misrepresent and lie.

Actually Section 329 of the Electoral Act prohibits the publication of material likely to mislead or deceive an elector in casting their vote. However, wait for it.....the ban only applies after an election has been called by the prime minister. So in times like these they can lie their arse off as much as they like. Unsurprisingly neither major party has ever sought to have the law altered

It just worries me with the advent of AI in our human communication mechanisms now and no one knows what's fake or real....we really need our pollies to use their resources with some integrity. Maybe I'm living in a Pollyanna world again though.

Can big Clive be our very own Trump?

Can big Clive be our very own Trump?

LOL No he won’t or can’t The guy is overwhelmingly disliked here and has very little support apart from the true FRWNJ

With all his money I think he got one seat in the upper house last election

Capitalist Paddo reminds me of Chung Su-Lee from Mind Your Language - No matter what the topic is it ends up with more of his Anti West diatribe.

Mind Your Language but it's just Chairman Mao
