The link below is from a post here on SaidIt. I don't know the source for it, nor what's going on in Ukraine. If I believed the media I'd be on my second booster already, assuming I survived the first and not twitching in a corner.

I saw this too, but honestly I find it extremely unlikely the US would build several biolabs just miles from the Russian border, and one near Crimea. Those aren't smart places to build research labs. I think it's fake tbh. But I could believe it if more info came to light, I'm not discounting it entirely

The only rationale I can come up with off the top of my head at the moment would be to provoke, or to create something that can quickly be gotten to the Russian boarder. If we think of "labs" as biological/chemical warfare sites the way a missile silo is to conventional or nuclear warfare, then along a border is a good place, both for offensive potential (I'm not picturing missile as defense, and biological/chemical weapons certainly not as defense) and as provocation.

Provocation would be putting military stuff near the border. But perhaps.

Only rationale I could come up with, is an intentional plan to create biologic agents that are then leaked or stolen by russian attack.

Even if they were biolabs, is blowing them up a good idea? Seems like a very haphazard way to do things that could release deadly viruses.

There's just quite a few pieces in that little biolab story that don't make sense to me, so it just doesn't seem real, given that one image and no additional information to look up. No names of labs, no names of companies, nothing. Just some random dots someone made in photoshop... so I'm inclined to not believe it, it seems like a distraction from what's actually happening, all things considered. Just my 2 cents. But if there is more info, I'd definitely re-think the theory.

Blowing them up might be a good idea, better then letting them send an intern over the boarder to release something. Are they blowing them up though? Apparently Russia is doing this so that Ukraine doesn't descend into such a puppet of the west status that it is just a military staging and logistics area for the "west" which I interpret as Russia being mindful that the western-owned oil and gas industry would love to invade and take over central Asia's gas deposits.

This could make Ukraine a nothern version of Iraq/Syria/Lebanon which is so tragic I'm going to pray to the Holy Mother of God to spare the people there from being victims of geopoliltical nonsense. If that seems like a waste of time, compare it to sending a carefully worded letter or email to my senators or Biden.
