Putin Might Be Dropping Hints About His Plans For Chemical Warfare

President Joe Biden said Monday that Russia accused Ukraine of having biological weapons because Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely planning to unleash chemical weapons on Ukraine in a false flag operation.

Putin’s “back is against the wall and now he’s talking about new false flags he’s setting up including, asserting that we in America have biological as well as chemical weapons in Europe, simply not true,” Biden said.

Russia is “also suggesting that Ukraine has biological and chemical weapons in Ukraine. That’s a clear sign he’s considering using both of those. He’s already used chemical weapons in the past, and we should be careful about what’s about to come,” the president added.

“As we have said all along, Russia is inventing false pretexts in an attempt to justify its own horrific actions in Ukraine. The United States does not own or operate any chemical or biological laboratories in Ukraine, it is in full compliance with its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological Weapons Convention, and it does not develop or possess such weapons anywhere,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement early this month.

“It is Russia that has active chemical and biological weapons programs and is in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention and Biological Weapons Convention,” Price added.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg had expressed concern on March 15 that Russia may use chemical weapons in a false flag operation.

Biden said on March 11 that Russia would pay a “severe price” if they use chemical weapons, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin warned that the use of chemical weapons would get a “significant reaction.”

“If a chemical or biological weapon was used, you’d see a significant reaction from not only the United States, but also the global community,” Austin said Sunday. “I don’t want to speculate about what exactly would change our calculation. I think engaging in hypotheticals is probably not helpful here either, but this is a very serious step and as you heard our president say, we won’t take that lightly.”
