As the situation in Donbass (East Ukraine) worsens for Ukrainian forces, as reports are now leaking from Kyiv that Ukraine is losing 1,000 troops a day, the State Department has essentially admitted American mercenaries have been captured by Russian forces in-country.
Alexander John-Robert Drueke, 39, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Andy Tai Ngoc Huynh, 27, from Hartselle, Alabama are currently “missing” from the battlefield, however, their precise fate is as yet unconfirmed, according to a State Department official, reported Zero Hedge.
White House national security spokesman John Kirby didn’t confirm the reports, but strongly hinted that it’s the administration’s belief they were likely captured, given he stated to reporters the US government “will do everything we can” to get Huynh and Drueke back.
Meanwhile, the Kremlin is stepping up the information war against the existence, and explanation of, U.S. biolabs in Ukraine.
“The ‘explanations’ provided by the US don’t have answers to the questions we posed – why was the work carried out by order of the Pentagon, and its subject matter was not consistent with actual problems of Ukrainian health care? What for did officers from the US military agency participate in biological research in Ukraine, while the work was carried out in secrecy with restricted access of Ukrainian specialists to information and premises?” declared Chief of Russia’s Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Protection Troops Igor Kirillov today in Moscow, reported Russian state news agency TASS.
There are no answers either to the questions why strains of pathogenic microorganisms – potential biological weapons agents, and biomaterials of Ukrainian citizens were exported from Ukraine without clearly declared purposes. Why are the US officials, including Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, so worried that that the results of the US Department of Defense activities in Ukraine and materials in the bio laboratories may get into the hands of Russian specialists?
In addition, the question remained unanswered as to why the US and Ukraine keep quiet about cooperation in the military-biological sphere in international reporting under the Biological Weapons Convention, and why the US has been blocking the development of its verification mechanism since 2001, Kirillov said. The briefing focused on the results of analysis of the documents regarding Washington’s military-biological activity in Ukraine.
Here you go dopey.

Nuland’s belligerence has been instrumental in bringing about what is going on in Ukraine now. What is going on now is this. They are enforcing the terms of Minsk II and there is nothing the US can do about it.
Do you have Google? She said the Ukrainians have labs in Ukraine (because of course they do) not that America has labs. Nor did she say the Ukrainians had a biological warfare program, because they don’t. If they did, the Russians might have a better case.
Lafayette was unpaid but Von Steuben and Pulaski were. All volunteered to come to America and held commissions in the Continental Army. Only Lafayette’s home country was at war with Great Britain at the time.
A true mercenary is “for hire” almost to anybody and generally does not fight as a volunteer or for ideological reasons.
Am I an idiot?
A random sample of 10 current and former office staff resulted in:
Idiot - 3
Moron - 3
Asshoe - 2
Numbskull - 1
Boss - 1
Brave, Quant, and Yandex are not “curated”, or as curated, as DDG and the other mainline search engines.
There is no separating defensive/offensive in biowarfare research. Those in the field have pointed that out repeatedly. The “defensive purpose” trope is Biden administration rhetorical smog.
Golly, let me help you. Victoria Nuland disclosed the labs in Senate testimony in response to a softball Marco Rubio question. Rubio was, to say the least, surprised.
Nope. That's not at all what happened.
Here’s where it started: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5005520/senator-rubio-questions-undersecretary-nuland-biolabs-ukraine
And the follow through: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/06/us-department-defense-finally-comes-clean-admits-public-document-46-us-funded-biolabs-ukraine/
Go argue with the Pentagon, and don’t repeat the idiocy that they were “defensive” - all bioweapon research swings both ways - and don’t repeat the nonsense that we were dismantling Soviet remnants. That would take nothing like 20 years.
As you should know, Obamalini made a big show of the US “ending” biowarfare research in 2014. What he actually did, besides shut down Fort Detrick, was offshore bioweapons research (as the Bush administration before him probably also did). So, we took existing facilities overseas and funded them. Wuhan is the best known example (Thank you Saint Anthony Fauci), but there are many others. Of course, when we are working on bioweapons, both offense and defense, it’s purely peaceful...just like the Portland riots were mostly peaceful.
There is a low level rebellion brewing among European members of NATO against US policy. Biden has probably reached the threshold of intolerable incompetence.
You go ahead and pretend to be naive. I am not.
And then there is this from three months ago, on the satire website “RealRawNews”
“Putin Tells Trump, “We’re Burning the Trash.” Biolaboratories Destroyed
February 25, 2022
https://realrawnews.com/2022/02/putin-tells-trump-were-burning-the-trash-biolaboratories-destroyed/
” . . .According to Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy knew about the laboratories and had received kickbacks in exchange for letting them operate clandestinely and without official oversight.
“Putin told Trump he gave Zelenskyy many warnings to dismantle the labs, as far back as February 2020, and warned he’d do it himself if Zelenskyy didn’t comply. “ . . .

Satire site.
But then, so is Babylon Bee.
Line between satire and news is becoming very nebulous now.
I know I’d be mad if other countries were operating clandestine bio-terror labs on our border.

You might be hinting at Fentanyl from Mexico.
Maybe?
