Jesus this is fucking retarded lol
How about you guys define what you think "biolab" means. Why do you think this is some kind of smoking gun? And how involved do you think the US is in this?
I don't even know what position you're arguing. Elaborate what you think is going on.
.. And before you say watch some random YouTube video by "Dilyana Gaytandzhieva" that features scary shamanic drums and shaky-cam footage of a Honda Odyssey parked outside an embassy, just know that I don't consider this compelling evidence lmao
I think the Russian claim is that US is developing or harnessing biological weapons. So, for example, mosquitoes that could be used as weapons.
The evidence, as far as I know, is:
1) Blueprints of a drone that carries mosquitoes
2) Human blood being transferred to some pentagon lab
3) Someone qualified to study insects working at the pentagon lab
4) Cherry-picked interviews by politicians who make weird statements under pressure
5) Websites being taken down by US government
6) Biolabs not disclosing what they are doing
7) Requests by China to disclose Biolab activityI.e., nothing conclusive, as far as I can tell, but nonetheless interesting enough to read and pay attention to.
I believe this is a case of "something secretive going on, so therefore <insert explanation>", when the actual answer is "I don't know." I'd imagine it'd be easy to find 1-7 even without anything weird going on. It all depends on the alternative explanations and their plausibility. Unfortunately, they are not assessed objectively in any of the investigations linked thus far, hence why I'm not convinced. Indeed, the linked sources all give a very one-sided narrative and lack objectivity.
However, why are you so adamant that the opposite is true? You seem to believe that the US is definitely not having biolabs in these countries. Why are you so convinced?
Thank you, that's informative.
The only thing I'm adamant about is that the US isn't operating biological weapon research facilities in Ukraine. We do help fund some eyebrow-raising projects all around the world, but we wouldn't base our own infrastructure and personnel in a country that didn't have a formalized security alliance, for obvious reasons. Regimes change, people get kicked out, assets get seized etc etc
If there are biological weapon research labs in Ukraine (which wouldn't be inherently suprising - many countries have them), they'll be owned and operated by Ukraine. Not the US.
I'm bemused by why this is considered a big deal too. Most developed countries have high security research labs, and many look at potential biological weapons. Russia themselves have labs with weaponized smallpox, and those are just their "on the record" labs lol
