Cheney: Use of chemical weapons is 'red line' for NATO intervention
Politico via Yahoo ^ | March 21st, 2022 | Shayna Greene

Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday agreed with Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the use of chemical weapons should be a “red line” for NATO to intervene in Ukraine.

“I think that we in the West, the United States and NATO — we need to stop telling the Russians what we won't do,” Cheney (R-Wyo.) said. “We need to be very clear that we are considering all options, that the use of chemical weapons is certainly something that would alter our calculations.”

Russian forces have bombed schools, hospitals and other civilian centers within the four weeks of their assault on Ukraine. Now, global leaders are concerned Russia is about to employ the use of chemical weapons.

Earlier in the month, Russia accused Ukraine of harboring chemical weapons, which U.S. officials believe to be a “false-flag” strategy to give Russia justification to use its own chemical or biological weaponry.

The term “red line” was also used by then-President Barack Obama in 2013. Obama had threatened airstrikes against Syrian government forces as a consequence for using chemical weapons. In that situation, Russian leader Vladimir Putin offered to force close ally Syrian President Bashar Assad to surrender his chemical arsenal if Obama promised not to bomb.

I said from the first day this was created to expand to WWIII.

The perfect tool to distract while implementing the BBB agenda.

Fine, if the Russians use chemical weapons, Cheney and her dad can fly to Ukraine and do something about it. Leave US troops out of it.

Why don’t she volunteer and go to Ukraine? And has she, her kids, if she has any, or siblings and family go to Ukraine? Leave the rest of us out of this war.

The creepy thing is that they don’t need anyone to believe the story. Both sides know it’s lies. Everyone knew the Assad “gas attacks” were lies. Everyone knew covid was filled with lies at every turn. Everyone knew Russia-pissgate was a lie. Everyone knows election 2020 was a lie.

They lie for fun, profit and power. They lie for fun. They swoon about how Bill Clinton could lie and smirk because we both knew it was a lie. They lie more than a city woman of reproductive age. They lie when the truth would actually fit better. They -especially- enjoy it when we KNOW they are lying but are powerless to do anything about it.

Putin hit the nail on the head when he called DC the “empire of lies”.

They just enjoy putting out a story so they can feel smug.

She sure is! The launch of that Kinzhal hypersonic cruise missile is no laughing matter.

Lindsey says “Free speech is great, but we’re in a war”? Who are we in a war with? Last I hear nobody has attacked or gone after us in any way.

Does Russia and Ukraine in a fight now mean “America is at war”?

They didn’t use a hypersonic missile because they had no other way to hit a weapons bunker. They used it with a conventional payload to send a larger message. It fell on deaf ears.

The truth is whatever they say it is. War is on the horizon.

Getting ready for a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident.

Ok literal boy. It’s now a figure of speech, a metaphor. Try to keep up.

Well, the chemical weapon threat worked well for her dad.

There’s enough garbage glowies and biolabs in Ukraine to get the job done. Cheneny just telegraphed the “go” signal.
