Russia Raises Iraq WMD Hoax at UNSC Meeting on US-Supported Biolabs in Ukraine

The Biden Administration, reflecting the arrogance of the Anglo-American war party, insists on judging the behavior of others it targets but refuses to allow itself to be judged. During yesterday’s UN Security Council meeting, called by Russia to discuss US-supported biological laboratories in Ukraine, US UN ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, said Washington was “deeply concerned” that Russia called the session as a “false flag effort” to lay the groundwork for its own use of biological or chemical weapons in Ukraine. Although she provided no evidence of an imminent Russian threat during the meeting, she said: “Russia has a track record of falsely accusing other countries of the very violations that Russia itself is perpetrating.” She added: “We have serious concerns that Russia may be planning to use chemical or biological agents against the Ukrainian people.”

“The intent behind these lies seems clear, and it is deeply troubling,” she said. “We believe Russia could use chemical or biological agents for assassinations, as part of a staged or false flag incident, or to support tactical military operations.”

In reply, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vassily Nebenzia raised the Iraqi WMD hoax of 2003. “[Y]ou cannot help recalling another episode that was repeatedly mentioned in various contexts,” he said. “I mean C.Powell’s famous test tube that he demonstrated in this very room and that served as a formal reason for the US invasion of Iraq that caused an enormous number of victims and huge damage. It affected the entire region and triggered i.a. creation of ISIL terrorist organization.”
