Love it. Tulsi gets her due. Among the many achievements and bonafides that Trump loves is her willingness to look the other way when it comes to Russia. She is, after all, trying to prevent WW3.
What better way to announce her nomination than to have it done by longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone, who announced it on Alex Jones' show. (Isn't he bankrupt?)
So, Tulsi meets secretly with Bashar Assad and then conveniently states that Trump's 1st sec of state, Rex Tillerson, is wrong when he said Syria used chemical weapons. Of course, its no coincidence that this was the exact line given by Russia, who blamed UK secret agents for the chemical attack. uh huh
Yes, she is right about the chemical attack not being from the Syrian army, but from Al-Qaeda-affiliated jihadis armed and financed by the US, UK, as part of the multi-billion covert operation named Timber Sycamore.

This fact was corroborated by several independent experts, including MIT prof Theodore Postol who has analyzed the incident and concluded that the State Dept. and MSM were lying about the fact, along the same lines as the lies they have pushed in the runup to the Iraq war (yllowcake, mobile biolabs etc)

And the doozy about US supported chemical weapons plants in Ukraine. As the more sane minded on this board may recall, this was one of the reasons why Putin decided to invade.
It was biolabs in Ukraine, not chemical weapons, right? Their presence in Ukraine was confirmed by Tory Nuland in a Congress testimony.
And btw Ukraine did use nerve agents dropped from drones on Russian soldiers. They haven't scaled up their use because it is more efficient to blow up a target with explosives than to drop a canister of gas.

And Elena Branson. The head of the Russian Community Council of the USA. A center that sought to advance Kremlin interests under the guise of preserving the Russian language and cultural history in the US. *chuckles* FBI raided her home and she fled to Russia. Kinda like Maria Butina.
No wonder she was on the watch list.
Every major western country has cultural centers spread around the world to promote their language and cultural heritage and products: Alliance Francaise, Goethe Institut, British Council, etc. There are nearly 100 chapters of the Alliance Francaise in the US alone. But if the Russians or the Chinese want to set up such facilities, they are nefarious dens of spies.
This is an interesting one 88.
First off, Timber Sycamore was an arms program from the Obama Admin designed to get weapons and training to groups fighting the Assad regime. It was canceled in 2017 because, yes, arms were finding their way onto the black market and, in some instances, were getting into the hands of ISIL and other Islamic groups. However, there was never any chemical weapons or bio weapons that were given to any anti-Assad group and any attack to that effect came from the Assad regime. The weapons that were given to anti-Assad groups were rifles, mortars, RPG's and most notably, the BGM-71 TOW missile. I repeat, there were NO chemical or bio weapons given to any anti-Assad military group.
As for Theodore Postol. His theories, and they are nothing more than that, have often been debunked by the scientific and military analyst communities. Even when he has attempted to publish, he does not make his findings available for peer review. He is often criticized for "working backwards" to establish a model that fits his theories. Specifically with respect to the Ghouta and Khan Shaykun chemical attacks, these attacks were thoroughly investigated. Postol and others were to publish an article in Science and Global Security which tried to discredit the findings of the UN investigation of the Khan Shaykun attack. However, the Bellingcat Group, reviewed the Postol report and found it to be inaccurate and inconsistent with the facts of the chemical attack. As a result, Science and Global Security decided not to publish the report.
There is no agency beyond the Syrian government or Russian Defense Ministry that claims these attacks did not come from the Syrian government.
As for Ms. Gabbard, and the so-called US bio weapons labs in Ukraine. This theory you espouse is pure Russian propaganda, made popular by Tucker Carlson, QAnon and Gabbard. In fact, there are labs that do research on diseases. But these are for advancing public health in post-Soviet countries. But these theories have been going around since the early 2000's - that Ukraine may unleash a bio attack on Russia. This is one of the major explanations from Russia as their impetus to invade. There was also a theory advanced by Russia that Hunter Biden and George Soros had control or vested interest in these companies. Pure Russia propaganda that resonates with MAGA in the US.
And finally we get to Victoria Nuland. The testimony you speak of was given at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting. Here's what she said when questioned by Little Marco:
"Nuland affirmed that Ukraine has "biological research facilities" and that the U.S. is concerned that Russian forces may seek to gain control of them. Nuland also stated, "There is no doubt in my mind" that if a biological weapon is used in Ukraine, it would be the work of Russia, not Ukraine or its allies."But Tucker heard things differently. He then went on to advance the conspiracy theory that the US was making bio weapons and Ukraine was going to unleash them onto Russia.
And as far as I can tell, England and France didn't invade Ukraine. Nor have they tried to influence US lawmakers or been caught influencing the media or social media. Only the Russians have been caught doing this. Once again, the symbiosis of Russian propaganda and Fox, NewMax is stunningly clear.
