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

Posted on 03/14/2018 2:17:54 PM PDT by Enlightened1

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.”

Alleged? Don’t you think we should have proof first Nikki?

Didn’t Obama kill US citizens with drones in foreign countries? Along with untargeted bystanders? I don’t see where the US has a leg to stand on, after Obama.

I don’t think anyone is threatening war. But using chemical weapons is tantamount to dropping a nuke.

Facts, logic, and proof do not mean anything to Globalists. They use hysterics and false flags to send our families off to die for their self enrichment schemes.

Yep, the reason the progressives hate Putin and Russia now is that Putin keeps saying Russia is a Christian country. Progressives, being mostly Satanists, fear this like cockroaches fear the light.

Whatever floats your boat. What happens to an ally is our problem as well.

Speak for yourself. I’ve detested the globalist carpetbagger Nimrata for years now.

We have no allies in the world. We have a collection of wheedling grifters and dependents.

Each and every one is liability and a charity case, and we don’t need to float another Moslem sh!thole like Britain.

No peace in Syria until Assad is ousted, says Nikki Haley

In a departure from the administration’s previous stance, US ambassador to the UN suggests regime change is now one of its priorities

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/09/no-peace-in-syria-until-assad-is-ousted-says-nikki-haley

As far as I know this has never been President’s Trump’s policy.

That’s irrelevant Sam. I don’t care if she is talking about the price of beans in China on a late Wednesday night.

There is no point in saber rattling. It is beyond being stupid and very dangerous! Reading Comprehension 101

Furthermore, Nikki is acting as the United States does not Drone anyone.

What the f*ck is she thinking??? STUPID !!!

We need to keep reminding Trump that his team is off the reservation when it comes to his foreign policy that he campaigned on.

He can’t surrender these things solely to Mattis or State Dept.

I sent email to WH.gov regarding this. I am trying. ;(

Did President Trump engage in “saber rattling” with North Korea? Did President Reagan engage in “saber rattling” with the USSR? Moral relativism is fun...

It’s not that, at least for me. Just strange Nikki would speculate on something that would probably never happen. Many of us are now, after Christopher Steele, and all, skeptical of claims made about Russia.

I don’t know why I got a notice from Youtube, but I clicked on it and this played:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8TS-bDHlGM
March 12, 2018
Nikki Haley says Assad used chlorine gas 3 times recently and threatens to attack the Syrian army if they fight against the terrorists.
This is from RT News.

Then this followed up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH96bgiNNdY
March 13, 2018
Russia says they will attack the U.S. in Syria
This is Press TV

Again, this was followed up with:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUYTqDpnKEc
Saying Russia will attack the U.S. Military in Syria
This is World News Radio March 13, 2018

Why am I seeing this stuff and why is it not in the many news sources I read?

You do realize Russia has a much bigger Muslim population than UK? Have you been to Moscow lately? If its an Islamic holiday, public schools get shut down to make room for overflow from the mosques.

Move to Russia and enjoy Putin’s rule in all its glory instead of bashing the United Kingdom.
