An adlai stevenson-valerian zorin moment coming up?

Russia has called for a meeting of the UN Security council over the US biolabs in the Ukraine. … I get the feeling this will be a replay of the famous confrontation between Adlai Stevenson and Soviet Ambassador Valerian Zorin during the Cuban missile crisis. “…Don’t wait for the translation…” The shoe may be on the other foot this time…

Is it just me, or hadn’t Kennedy and Kruschov already concluded a secret deal by then, wherein the USA promised not to place nuclear missiles in Turkey, thus avoiding the crisis?

Correct! They were removed as a result.

Hope we get to see the Russian evidence on these biolabs.
Wonder when the council convenes?

The briefest of internet searches shows it is happening right now and is being livestreamed on the internet. Russian Federation are accused the US of creating biological weapons capability right next door to EU, entrusting it to unstable ultra-nationalist groups in the Ukraine and quoting article 5 of Geneva Convention.

I had to move on to something else when the amazing statements by the Albanians got started. Their ambassador is calling the RF delegation liars and conspiracy theorists. Skirpal and Assad got a mention too. It sounded like a script written in Washington.
