Nice Fox News selective editing. I don't see that as a flat out denial.

I'm talking about an friend-U denial like this.

Maybe they should put up a Ukraine flag at town hall. They'll be tripping over money and aid.

Interesting the story is almost completely ignored

It is, what's even worse is that the chemical gas Phosgene, which was a gas used WWI as a nerve agent, and was responsible for 85k deaths, is also burning into the atmosphere and contaminating the whole region.

And the symptoms of exposure aren't good, in high enough concentrations it can cause pulmonary edema, and at that point it's almost too late, and the symptoms of exposure don't show up instantly it takes awhile, but when it does hit, it's nasty.



This is a perfect example of how a negligent company operating in an already neglected industry can really cause a lot of damage.

And where the current administration, who have been in power for 2 years, only blames the last administration for their own failures.

It took a day or so to kill WWI soldiers.
Deadliest gas used in warfare, in terms of # of deaths.
Must have been agonizing to slowly die of asphyxiation.

My grandfather was in WW1. He was in the trenches but luckily never got gassed. He never talked about it either.
