Nikki Haley warns: Russia could use chemical weapons in New York
The Washington Examiner ^ | 03/14/18 | Joel Gehrke

New York City could be the next site of a chemical assassination attempt if world leaders fails to punish Russia for its alleged role in poising of a former spy in the United Kingdom, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley warned Wednesday.

“If we don't take immediate concrete measures to address this now, Salisbury will not be the last place we see chemical weapons used,” Haley told the United Nations Security Council. “They could be used here in New York, or in cities of any country that sits on this Council. This is a defining moment.”

Haley raised the specter of new attacks during an emergency council meeting, held at the request of British officials who have accused Russia of using “a military-grade nerve agent” to target a former military intelligence officer who committed treason. Russian diplomats have denied responsibility for the incident, but British investigators say they have identified the poison as a chemical weapon produced by the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

“Time and time again, member-states say they oppose the use of chemical weapons under any circumstance,” Haley said. “Now one member stands accused of using chemical weapons on the sovereign soil of another member. The credibility of this council will not survive if we fail to hold Russia accountable.”

What a load of garbage, she only cautioned that the Russians could do the same here. Sorry, you have to criticize the Trump administration, you must be a liberal democrat.

Oh did she? Do you say the same for Trump who said the Confederate Flag belonged in a museum? What’s good for the goose, is good for the gander. She has every right to do what she did as a leader of a state for all people of the state.

There was no coup in Ukraine, no one wants to belong to the Oligarchy, regime of highly paid prostitutes, er, models like Russia.

Per the White House is saying the same thing, Putin Trolls should go over to DU if they don’t like it. Cry babies, liars. Maybe the Putin trolls can post on all the deals their idol makes with Erdogan and Saudi Arabia.

It was part of a spy swap; so you are saying countries just should not have spies. Brilliant! What else would we expect from the Putinistas.

“South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley endorses Marco Rubio in bitter GOP primary battle”

And Trump selected her as UN Ambassador. Do you have a problem with that?

And Russia is making deals with Erdogan and Saudi Arabia and child marriage does exist in Russia, it’s called Sharia law.

“Sarah Sanders just weighed in as well and is consistent with Haley.”

Exactly, the Putinistas are against Trump; sounds like they are males but they must be little chickens.

Huh? My posts on this site have never reflected that of a liberal democrat. Perhaps you need to study up before you open your pie hole.

I do not want a war with Russia. Liberals do. Oh that must make you a leftist, right? You want to instigate a war with Russia. I haven’t read your posting history, but I am going to accuse you based on a misunderstanding of what you may have meant. Now THAT is a lib tactic.

I have no love for Putin. I love America and I am tired of our people being used to fight other people’s battles with very little damage to their own.

People all over the place are rejecting globalist thought. The UK is a hot mess. Maybe they poisoned those Russians to instigate trouble. May is hardly credible. Brit voters aren’t going to get their Brexit and you know it too.

I love Trump, but he has had some of his own hires work behind his back at times. Like Tillerson.

I have never liked Nikki Haley. I see her as a drama queen.

Trump has to be very careful with his foreign policy and be very careful who he gives free reign to speak for his admin.

You should already understand why.

Not too much since it saved South Carolina from further damage by the dimwit Nikki “The Flag Made Him Kill” Haley.

I have no doubt Putin did it, as he has before. My point is I just can’t be bothered to find much sympathy with the UK these days.
