Found the full translation of that RIA Novosti piece. It is some dark stuff man.

I think I'd be turning around and finding another way.

I don't want to get into a big discussion about Japanese Imperialism, but treatment of Taiwanese natives during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan wasn't all that "decent". The Japanese occupiers ruled the island with an iron-fist, treated its people as second-class subjects, and used the men as canon fodder. The truth is, they treated the Taiwanese no better than slaves and tried to wipe out their culture. I highly recommend a Taiwanese film called Seediq Bale, which recounts a native tribe's struggle against Japanese occupation.

I can remember about 20 years ago people talking about the totally illuminated battlefield, we all rolled our eyes and then spent 20 years hunting a##holes in the sand. Time to find the facepaint.
Didn't the US admit to pushing ISR to the UA? Or is that a rumor? I would put money on the bar it is happening.

John, just stop it already. You've more than earned the right to be called out on your citing of dubious sources that are full of BS. If you don't appreciate the label, then slow down, step away from the keyboard, and CRITICALLY THINK about the information being presented.
And, you want to know why you can't be taken seriously? Let's take a look at that page you just linked to, called "Moon of Alabama." At the top of the page it says it's the recipient of the "Serena Shim Award for Uncompromised Integrity in Journalism." Okay, so what's this all about? Hmm...
...oh yeah, look another dubious news source:
https://www.google.com/search?q=serena+shim+award&oq=serena+shim+award&aqs=chrome..69i57.3701j0j1&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
It looks like this illustrious Serena Shim Award is given to pro-Assad content creators and was created by a pro-Assad group in 2019. You do know about Assad, right? Surely you know about what he's done through the years, Mr. Threat Analyst?
But hey, don't take my word for it - Bellingcat wrote a whole article about this dubious group:
https://www.bellingcat.com/news/2019/09/30/pro-assad-lobby-group-rewards-bloggers-on-both-the-left-and-the-right/
John, John, John, once again you've shown that the websites you quote from frankly suck.

As soon as you see the words "crisis actor", you should know whatever the story is, it's nonsense.
I'm not aware of any event in the world that was actually staged using "crisis actors" - it's just a right-wing meme.
In fact, if you thought about it critically for a bit, you'd realise that such a thing would be almost impossible to pull off - you'd have to get everyone for miles around to buy into it, or someone would be saying "they're not from around here" and variations on it.
PS: the woman you're calling a "crisis actor" died of her wounds.

As Womble politely asked you please engage what critical thought process you have
The truth is out there..... (Just not on certain US TV channels...)

Not sure what you mean by "inexcusable" ? You are aware that these Biolabs dated back to Soviet Times and the Working relationship between the US and Ukraine was to make these sites safe again ? . Much like Ukraine gave up its Nuclear weapons . With regards anything China and Russia have to say about these sites - pretty much entirely propaganda - and the same when it is brought up by Extremists in the West .
Adding a w\Wikileaks document which shows some of the internal discussions around nuclear and Biolab handling in Ukraine as an example of the above claim by myself :

John, take a hint - you are derailing this topic with these unhinged rants of yours. Either take it to PMs or better, just zip it already. You aren't contributing anything to the conversation.

In what world would a website called "anti 5g" be a remotely credible source.

The Occidental Observer is a purveyor of anti-Semitic and far right nationalist trash. No thanks.

Hell, if you're attacking in "good order", you don't leave your valuable EW assets behind/undefended.
So if you can't even do that (when you have the tactical initiative/momentum) then come GTFO time...yikes...

Article on Russian comms in Ukraine. Summary:
"it seems that the modernisation of Russia's radios may not have gone to plan. Deliveries of things like the R-168 and R-187 digital radios were supposed to have started in 2000 and 2017 respectively. However, there may have been issues with quality and corruption."
"This means some Russian troops have been using civil walkie-talkies, their phones, and unencrypted HF radios, which can be listened into by almost anyone with the right kit and skills."
"This raises three possibilities. The first is that Russian military HF users may not care if eavesdropping takes place. The second possibility is that HF may be used to deliberately transmit false information...and third that the RuAF cannot encrypt HF traffic."
"These issues may present vulnerabilities that the Ukrainians could exploit fairly easily to gain electromagnetic dominance."

I didn't watch the video because of one single statement - "NATO expansion". That's how you know it's a complete and utter BS.
NATO doesn't expand. It is joined willingly.

So conspiracy mongering folks, LOTS of places have bio labs that study deadly pathogens. Where the F do you think vaccines come from? Do you think all the world's disease fighters just sit around and wait to be attacked by the next mutation of something. WTF does this have to do w anything? Please just stop. No one gives a F about this. It's not any excuse for this invasion and you are just feeding propaganda.
Did any of you see the post from a couple days ago about idiots chasing shiny objects? Look in mirror.
I guess I have a vacation coming but someone has to say STFU. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE W YOUR IRRELEVANT BS.
