The Biden, Zelenski, Ukraine Story Just Keeps Getting Dirtier

I don’t normally suggest that someone should read one of my past columns. Normally, I just mention that one was written on a particular subject and leave it up to the person whether they want to read it or not. In this case, I really do hope you will read it in its entirety. It was written on March 4^th, 2025, and it was titled: “The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Concerning Ukraine, Russia, NATO, And The U.S.”

When Russia moved into Ukraine, Putin did it for two main reasons, and despite what the MSM propaganda would have you believe, it was not to expand their territory. One reason was a long time coming. NATO, urged on by the U.S., continued to push eastward until all countries involved were right up to the Russian border.

In that 2025 column, I explained clearly why they had every right to be upset. Here is part of that column.

“When the Soviet Union ended in 1991 and transformed into Russia, the parties forged an agreement that NATO would not expand eastward at all. Then, in 1994, the United States decided to ignore that agreement, and Bill Clinton signed off on NATO's expansion eastward, all the way to Ukraine.

In 1999, the first NATO expansion began into Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic. While this breach of the agreement irritated Russia, the expansion was not an immediate threat to its borders.

In 2004, Russia went from irritated to pissed off. NATO/United States expanded again into the Baltic States, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. Also, into Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, and Slovakia. Sensing that the expansion wasn’t finished, Putin publicly stated in 2007 that the NATO expansion needed to “Stop” and that it was “Enough,” but it went unheeded.

In 2008, at the insistence of the United States, NATO expanded into Ukraine and Georgia, right against the Russian border. With all of their request having been ignored, war was inevitable, and one month later, war broke out in Georgia, and it was destroyed.

In 2010, the U.S. placed missile systems in Poland and Romania despite Russia's loud protests. That same year, Victor Yanukovych was elected on a platform of neutrality. Russia still had no territorial interest or any designs on Ukraine at all; what they were negotiating was a 25-year lease for the Severstopol Naval Base, not Crimea or Donbas, just the naval base.

Then came Mink II, which said the Russian-speaking regions to the east of Ukraine should have autonomy. The UN Security Council unanimously supported it, but the United States and Ukraine decided not to enforce it. There were many thousands of deaths from Ukraine’s shelling of Donbas.

In December 2021 and January 2022, one issue was whether or not the U.S. had the right to put missiles on Russia’s border in Ukraine. Blinken spitefully told Lavrov in January that the U.S. reserves the right to put missile systems anywhere it wants.

After all of this, what were Putin’s intentions when the war began? It was intended to force Zelensky to negotiate neutrality, which occurred within seven days of the invasion's start. A settlement was close, but Ukraine unilaterally walked away from the table because the United States told them to.

The idea was that Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Türkiye, and Georgia would deprive Russia of International status by blocking it from using the Black Sea.

The corrupt Biden administration found the perfect partner in Zelensky. He is a greedy ex-comedian/con man suffering from Napoleon Syndrome who can switch from aggressor to victim in record-setting time. More importantly, he is the perfect funnel for American taxpayer dollars in a proxy war where no Americans are getting killed. However, almost a million Ukrainians have been killed or severely wounded.”

So, as you can see, Putin had good reason to be upset with NATO, the U.S., and Ukraine. The second reason was that Russia claimed Ukraine had bio-labs too close to its border. The MSM claimed that it was a hoax and that it was nothing more than a conspiracy theory propagated by the Kremlin. In fact, International bodies, including the United Nations, have consistently confirmed there is no evidence of biological weapons programs in Ukraine.

Really? Just propaganda? Hmmm

On Friday, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard presented evidence of U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine and elsewhere.

Posting on X, Gabbard said:

“Today, I’m releasing never-before-seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.”

“After months of searching through Intelligence Community holdings and files, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is revealing new evidence of longstanding United States government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries. These biolabs include labs in Ukraine, which may be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.”

“Until now, evidence regarding the full existence and funding of these laboratories had been knowingly withheld from the American people. The information surrounding the existence, history, locations, and funding of these US-funded biolabs has been intentionally covered up by powerful people falsely, claiming that they do not exist and accusing anyone who says otherwise of being foreign assets and traitors to America.”

Gabbard went further by targeting notable figures in former President Joe Biden's administration, specifically criticizing “so-called health professionals” such as Anthony Fauci.

“Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs, and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth.”

The accompanying documents identified that there are over 40 laboratories established and supported in Ukraine alone.

Documents indicated that bioweapons and disease-causing pathogens stored in these facilities include anthrax, Ebola, and the plague.

The evidence released supported Russian claims from early 2022, shortly after the Russia-Ukraine War began.

“Recently found documents show that components of biological weapons were made in Ukraine’s laboratories, with funding from the U.S. Department of Defense, in direct proximity to Russia,” the Russian Embassy in the United Kingdom posted on X.

The Russians correctly identified anthrax and plague as part of a U.S.-backed bioweapons program based in Ukraine.

In 2022, then-Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah accused Gabbard of making “treasonous lies” regarding U.S.-funded biolabs in Ukraine. Gabbard responded by threatening legal action against Romney and others who labeled her as a traitor.

However, in an interview from August 2023, conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson asked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., then a Democratic presidential candidate and now the Health and Human Services Secretary, about the alleged biolabs.

Kennedy responded this way:

“We have biolabs in Ukraine because we’re developing bioweapons, and those bioweapons are using all kinds of new synthetic biology and CRISPR technology and genetic engineering techniques that were not available to previous generations. And they can make frightening, frightening stuff.”

Russia had good reason to move into Ukraine. The Biden administration lied about the bio-labs and continued to launder and funnel money through the country. We may never know the full truth about this conflict, but what we do know is that behind the scenes, what Biden and Zelensky orchestrated was both dirty and dangerous and the American people were kept in the dark about almost everything.
