00:00:00.000Again, folks, Russia has nefarious designs on the United States.
00:00:04.000If you read anything that Vladimir Putin has ever talked about in his home language, or if you read his favorite philosopher, Alexander Dugin, or if you actually just pay attention to what Russia is doing right now, like Russia over the weekend threatened Lithuania that if Lithuania allowed nuclear weapons to be stored on their soil, Russia might invade Lithuania.
00:00:20.000Meanwhile, they've been threatening openly Poland.
00:00:22.000They've been flying drone flights around Eastern European countries.
00:00:25.000They've been pursuing operations in Western European countries.
00:00:50.000They've only cheated on every single deal we have ever cut with them, including anti ballistic missile treaties, including biological weapons treaties.
00:00:57.000Why in the world would you trust that now they're going to start abiding by treaty commitments?
00:01:23.000If you broke your leg and I give you therapy, it isn't going to help.
00:01:26.000And if you are violating all of your commitments and there's nothing for us to negotiate over and no enforcement power that is actually delegated, there is no way for us to come to an agreement that has any actual teeth.
00:02:12.000It doesn't mean that we can overthrow every regime we don't like, but it does mean that we ought to keep in mind who these regimes are and what they want when morons just start shouting diplomacy every five seconds about solutions to the Russian problem or the Chinese problem or the Iranian problem.
00:02:27.000According to the Moscow Times, health authorities in Siberia's Irkutsk region, which you know from the game Risk, have placed nearly 200 people under medical observation after a laboratory worker died from plague.
00:02:40.000Daria Sh, they didn't give her last name, a 27 or 28 year old employee of the Irkutsk Anti Plague Institute by the exiled news outlet Lyudy Baikala and a pro Kremlin broadcaster, Ariane TV.
00:02:52.000She reportedly told medical staff she had accidentally broken a test tube containing live bacteria while collecting samples for testing.
00:02:58.000She was hospitalized Tuesday with symptoms of severe pneumonia in Shelikov, a town near the regional capital of Irkutsk, and she was put on a ventilator and then she died on Thursday.
00:03:08.000Media reports have described the suspected infection as pneumonic plague.
00:03:12.000That is not the same as bubonic plague.
00:03:16.000It's not the same as the Black Plague.
00:03:17.000Nonetheless, according to Kevin Esfeldt, who's an MIT biologist, Russia's five hospital quarantine, because they quarantined some five hospitals, the involvement of the FSB and the hazmat suit use after the death of a single researcher is inconsistent with typical plague infection because typical plague infection, we could kill it off with antibiotics.
00:03:34.000So they're obviously researching something that is antibiotic resistant.
00:03:39.000Again, this could mean that the responsible pathogen is a pandemic weapon or otherwise embarrassing for the government.
00:03:45.000Here is Secretary of State Rubio talking about it.
00:03:48.000We know what we know, obviously, about whatever the Russians have provided, which is it seems that there was a worker at the lab that was infected, and there's concern that that could have spread, at least internally.
00:04:02.000So you see them do quarantines and deaths of that nature.
00:04:05.000There's very limited travel between the U.S. and Russia, obviously.
00:04:09.000But like anything else, something like that gets out.
00:04:22.000It is worthwhile noting at this point.
00:04:25.000I saw somebody online yesterday saying, well, can't we all just agree not to develop, you know, bioweapons that can kill millions of people?
00:04:31.000I mean, we in the United States can agree to it, we can agree to not do that.0.57
00:04:35.000But you know who has agreed already to this and then continues to do it would be Russia.0.83
00:04:39.000Russia is a signatory to the Biological Weapons Convention, the BWC.
00:04:44.000That is the principal international treaty that prohibits biological weapons development.0.61
00:04:47.000And it does bar signatories from developing, producing, stockpiling, acquiring, or retaining.
00:04:52.000Biological agents or toxins of types and in quantities that have no justification for prophylactic or protective or peaceful purposes.
00:05:00.000This isn't even like gain of function research, so you can figure out how to stop it.
00:05:04.000Okay, this is just people putting together biological weapons, pretty obviously, and they just violate it.
00:05:07.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:05:08.000First, you know, you have one asset that's probably worth more than all your other assets, maybe combined, and that would be your home title.
00:05:14.000Now, you're not thinking about how somebody can take the value from that because, hey, I mean, you own your home.
00:05:17.000Nobody's going to like jack it up on wheels and take it somewhere.
00:05:20.000But the way that criminals gain access to the asset value of your home is they forge your name.
00:05:25.000On a signature sheet, and then they basically steal your home title and they start borrowing against it.
00:05:29.000Well, you can stop them from doing this by checking out Home Title Lock.

00:06:12.000Without an enforcement mechanism, it doesn't matter what enemy states like China or Russia or Iran sign.
00:06:17.000This has been perfectly obvious for literally all of time.
00:06:20.000The enforcement mechanism for international law, by the way, at the end of the day, is usually the power of the mailed fist.
00:06:28.000That is usually the enforcement mechanism.
00:06:30.000If you don't enforce your treaties, what you end up with.
00:06:32.000Is people just violating it willy nilly.
00:06:35.000And again, we did this routine already.0.82
00:06:36.000China unleashed a global pandemic that killed legitimately millions of people in 2019 to zero consequence, despite the fact that they weren't supposed to be developing that kind of stuff, let alone releasing it, let alone hiding it, let alone using the WHO as a cover for it.0.89
00:06:49.000It turns out our enemies are enemies are enemies.0.92
00:06:51.000By the way, speaking of enemies, insane story out of Germany.
00:06:54.000Apparently, German police on Tuesday detained the country's former head of its foreign intelligence service on suspicion of espionage and attempted treason in one of the bigger scandals to engulf the spy agency since its creation in the mid 50s.
00:07:06.000A person named August Hanning, who led the Federal Intelligence Service or BND from 1998 all the way to 2005, was arrested under suspicion of illegally obtaining classified information for years and at least in one case passing it on to a foreign intelligence agent.
00:07:22.000One of Hanning's former bureau chiefs allegedly passed on classified information to Hanning for more than a decade in his function as bureau chief.
00:07:30.000He passed almost 2,000 documents to Hanning up to June 2022, like well beyond when Hanning was actually there.
00:07:38.000It has not been fully reported, but it appears that he was passing this information on to the Russians.0.50
00:07:42.000So, if you ever wonder why Russia seems to have a shockingly dominant position in Europe over France, over Germany, this would just be one reason.
00:07:50.000What an amazing video you just watched.
