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.”

Nice to see you’re at least capable of making some moral distinctions. I was concerned that you were going to start spewing that one man’ s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter type of BS. You’re not a total lost cause. The problem with your analogy is that Germany and Japan have proven in the years since WWII that they are not what they were and that they have no intention of ever returning to what they were. Putin and Russia? Not so much...
Pompeo has called for killing Snowden & Julian Assange. Apparently, he would drown them in water or strangle them, rather than use a chem agent. Like he’s making a distinction (not).
Maybe one of the sad consequences of electing a man with good instincts but naive enough to be impressed by the wrong people
She is correct, and it also is possible for any terrorist organization in the world to infiltrate any kind of loathsome weapons across the unguarded Mexican border and kill millions of Americans.
Some terrorist organizations have already been caught at it. No one knows how many were not caught.
Add to that the Muslim terrorists who have been imported legally, to prove that we are not racist, and we really have a problem that Haley dare not broach in public, for fear she will be called an extremist racist and jingoistic. She can’t be accused of white supremacy because she is brown.
Nikki & her NeoCon friends said that Russia’s non-interference in our elections was an act of war. Yet she still has a job.
The Syrian people prefer to keep their President and their army instead of being ruled by a Western/Saudi/Israeli selected council of sunni radicals
Thank you very much
The ally that imprisons people for speaking ill of Islam? That’s not my ally.
Chinese weapons grade fentanyl and Mexican heroin are killing tens of thousands of Americans
THAT is chemical warfare
That’s the problem though. You keep comparing Apples and Oranges.
It’s not relevant, does not apply, and it’s a terrible analogy.
Strange
She didn’t talk like this when Kim Jong Un assassinated his brother with VX in Malaysia
Whose fault was that one?
Maybe England since VX was developed at Porton Down!
Nonsense. GB has been humiliated. Putin kills, GB expels diplomats. GB is now shown to be weak and isolated.
You KGB Vlad bootlickers never miss an opportunity to shine his size 8 shoes. How pathetic. All I can do is laugh at your naivete while one party state fascist Russia plays you like a fiddle.
OK
Disagree. History teaches you a strong military with superior weapons and a strong foreign affairs/intelligence agency acts as a good deterrence and prevents nuclear conflict.
That Russia chose to kill its traitors is good idea. We, as a nation, should do the same.
Absolutely. How about we start with Snowden in Moscow? How about a car bomb? I’m sure KGB Vlad won’t have a problem with that.
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.
Wrong. Progressives love Putin and Russia. They love stuffing their pockets with his cash. Hillary, Schroeder, etc.
In a matter of days, the Russian population is going to vote 90% for Putin and two candidates more hawkish than him. He is the safe moderate in the race. Your statement that “the average population is conflicted” is untrue.
Nikki has always been a NON natural born citizen. Her parents are foreigners. She was raised by foreigners.
You realize where the world got its baseline chemical and bio warfare agents?
Germany and Japan
And the worst murderers were given asylum as a reward for sharing their research with the so- called free world
The V series of nerve agents were developed by England, in England
Pompeo has advocated just that, Israel advocates and does just that. I don’t recall seeing criticize Israel.
They may be conflicted over a new Cold War, but there's no way they're conflicted over Putin. They love that guy.
Easy to smuggle ingredients and assemble anywhere

I’ve seen the movies.
Protagonist meaningfully moves through a convenience store, picking up a little xxx, a little yyy, etc.
Then goes back to ‘safe house’ and brews up a nuke equivalent substance.
My only experience is Jalapeno hot sauce plus Habanero hot sauce ...
The nuke is in the middle of the night.
