“There are liaisons that are there”

The White House has spent the past fortnight explaining and walking back idiotic and dangerous statements by Joe Biden, the latest coming on Tuesday after he appeared to admit the U.S. is training Ukrainian troops in Poland.

Biden was asked Monday during a disastrous presser what he meant when he previously appeared to tell U.S. troops that they would be deployed to Ukraine (below).

Biden claimed that he meant U.S. troops are “helping train the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland.” 

“I was referring to being with, and talking with, the Ukrainian troops that are in Poland,” he claimed, trying to get out of one calamitous statement by blurting out another equally dangerous comment.

Biden’s bumbling forced White House communications director Kate Bedingfield to have to explain Tuesday that no no “compromised information” was revealed by Biden.

Bedingfield claimed that Biden was saying that the troops he met in Poland are “routinely” interacting “with Ukrainians.”

“That being said, there’s nothing further that I have to say on that beyond what the president said yesterday,” she added.

When another reporter asked “Are they training in Poland or not?” Bedingfield responded “Well, as I said, there is regular interaction between Ukrainian soldiers in Poland and the US troops that the president saw on the trip.”

She continued, “There’s nothing, no further detail that I can add on that, except to say that there is regular interaction. As you saw, we were there near the border, and there’s regular interaction between those troops that he saw and Ukrainians.”

Watch:

The Pentagon was also forced to explain what in the hell Biden meant, with General Tod Walters telling Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas during a hearing “I do not believe we are in the process of currently training military forces from Ukraine in Poland.”

“There are liaisons that are there,” Walters continued, adding “They’re being given advice, and that’s different than I think (what) you’re referring to with respect to training.”

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby also told reporters that U.S. troops in Poland are merely “liaising” with Ukrainian forces, noting “It’s not training in the classic sense that many people think of training.”

Kirby did not provide any further details on the matter.

Watch:

Last week Kirby appeared to admit that Ukrainian troops have been being trained by the U.S. for some time:

Unsurprisingly, in the wake of multiple statements that are a risk to national security, Biden was allowed to take just one question from reporters on Tuesday:

    Seymour Hersh makes new Nord Stream sabotage claim

    The Pulitzer Prize winner has alleged the US blew up the pipelines because it was unhappy with a lack of German support for Ukraine

    US President Joe Biden ordered the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines because he was unhappy with the level of support provided by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, veteran investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has claimed. 

    Hersh first accused Washington of destroying the key European energy route in an article released in February, and made more allegations in an interview with the China Daily newspaper published on Friday.

    “The [US] president was afraid of Chancellor Scholz not wanting to put more guns and more arms [forward for Kiev]. That’s all. I don’t know whether that it was anger or punishment, but the net effect is that it cut off a major power source through Western Europe,” Hersh claimed.  

    Despite attempts by the US to deny its involvement in the Nord Stream attack, “Europe is in crisis now” and Biden will receive “a lot of criticism for what he did” in the coming months, the journalist argued.

    The Pulitzer Prize winner alleged that “the people that were initially asked to do the job” of destroying the pipelines were contacted by US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan towards the end of 2021.

    The initial purpose of mining Nord Stream 1 and 2, built to deliver Russian gas to Europe through Germany, was “to give the [US] president an option to say to [Russian] President Putin, ‘If you go to war [in Ukraine], we’re going to destroy the pipelines,’” Hersh claimed.

    Biden himself publicly confirmed that stance but “unfortunately, those people in the Western press seemed to have forgotten,” the journalist stated.

    Just under three weeks before the launch of Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine, Biden warned during a press conference on February 7 that “if Russia invades… there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

    According to Hersh, the US leader decided to order the detonation of mines at the bottom of the Baltic Sea last September because the conflict “wasn’t going great in Ukraine” from a US perspective. There was “at best a stalemate”during that period, in what Hersh described as “the American war that President Biden was so eager to support.”

    Russian Military Warns Uranium Shells Will Cause Irreversible Harm To All Ukrainians

    The Russian military has weighed in on the UK’s plans to supply depleted uranium tank rounds to Ukrainian forces, which was announced by UK’s junior Defense Minister Annabel Goldie in a Tuesday parliament briefing.

    Lt. Gen. Igor Kirillov, the head of the radiation, chemical and biological defense troops of the Russian armed forces, told a press briefing Friday that the weaponry will cause irreparable harm to all Ukrainians, whether civilian or military. 

    “Despite the fact that the use of such ammunition [with depleted uranium] will cause irreparable harm to the health of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the civilian population, NATO countries, in particular the UK, express their readiness to supply this type of weapon to the Kiev regime,” Kirillov said.

    “As a result of the impact of a depleted uranium munition, a mobile hot cloud of a finely dispersed aerosol of uranium-238 and its oxides is formed, which, when exposed to the body in the future, can provoke the development of serious diseases,” Kirillov said.

    He described that when compounds in the advanced ammunition seeps into the soil or disperses across the environment, it will be “dangerous for people, animals and the environment for a long time.”

    On Wednesday, Britain responded to Russian officials saying this constitutes escalation on the nuclear front, given that Kiev will be handed “nuclear components”

    James Cleverly, Britain’s foreign secretary, told reporters on Wednesday that there was “no nuclear escalation,” adding, “The only country in the world that is talking about nuclear issues is Russia.”

    Depleted uranium has for decades been used by NATO, and was known for being used against Serbian forces in the late 1990’s, as well as in Iraq. It is two-and-a-half times denser than steel, and thus can penetrate armor, for example it can cut straight through tanks.

    China has previously condemned the use of depleted uranium by the Western alliance:

    But it not only has radioactivity but is toxic to humans long after being dispersed on the battlefield. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova emphasized this in an initial Kremlin reaction on Tuesday…

    “Yugoslav scenario. These shells not only kill, but infect the environment and cause oncology in people living on these lands,” she said, in reference to cancer and other deadly ailments.

    “By the way, it is naive to believe that only those against whom all this will be used will become victims. In Yugoslavia, NATO soldiers, in particular the Italians, were the first to suffer. Then they tried for a long time to get compensation from NATO for lost health. But their claims were denied,” she said.

    Medvedev Warns Germany Arrest of Putin Will be Declaration of War on Russia

    Says Moscow could bomb the International Criminal Court.

    Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev has warned Germany that any attempt to arrest President Vladimir Putin will represent a declaration of war on Russia and said Moscow could respond by bombing the International Criminal Court.

    Medvedev made the threat after the the International Criminal Court at the Hague issued an arrest warrant for Putin, accusing him of perpetrating war crimes by being involved in the forcible transfer of children from Ukraine to Russia.

    German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he supported the ruling and during a visit to Japan said “no one is above the law.”

    Russia, which doesn’t recognize the authority of the ICC and is not a member of it, hasn’t reacted kindly.

    “Some idiots, halfwits like the German justice minister, say, ‘Well, if he comes, we’ll arrest him.’.. Does he understand what that means? Let’s imagine… the incumbent head of a nuclear state arrives on the territory of, say, Germany and is arrested. What is this? A declaration of war on the Russian Federation!” Medvedev said in an interview Russian media outlets.

    Medvedev said Moscow would respond by targeting “the Bundestag, the chancellor’s office, and so on.”

    The former president even suggested in a Telegram message sent to his followers that Russia could bomb the ICC headquarters.

    “It is quite possible to imagine the targeted use of a hypersonic launch from the North Sea from a Russian ship at the Hague courthouse,” wrote Medvedev, describing the court as “shitty” and “useless”.

    “The court is just a miserable international organization,” he added, noting that those working within it should “carefully look into the sky” to see if they can spot Russian missiles.

    He went on to add that Russian relations with the west “have probably never been worse in history” and that NATO’s goal was to wipe out Russia altogether.

    “They do not want to see the Russian Federation itself, they don’t need us. And this is their geopolitical, geostrategic idea of very old times. Why do they need such a country, which has a huge territory and the most serious nuclear shield, and which does not even obey the Americans?” said the former president.

    Meanwhile, Russian law enforcement officials have opened up their own criminal investigation into the International Criminal Court, focusing on judges and prosecutors who made the decision to issue the arrest warrant for Putin.
