US official confirms: US keeps Wuhan-like dangerous pathogen bio-laboratories in Ukraine. Tells us repeatedly they're not bio-weapons...and then spends a lot of time worrying the Russians will hit them, releasing dangerous pathogens.

Most of these labs keep things like anthrax to study. Clearly if that was released it would be dangerous even though it's not kept for the purpose of being a weapon.

They do crazy shit in those labs. It’s chemical war fare shit.

I guess it’s the “well if we don’t research it, they will”.

And these are black sites. Places that are not really mentioned because the shit they do is not legal on American soil.

This.

I honestly haven't done much research on it, but if you ever hear these places mentioned, perhaps it's worth reporting?

  • Kharkiv
  • Luhansk
  • Dnipropetrovsk
  • Vinnytsia
  • Ternopil
  • Zakarpartska
  • Lviv

These are the cities (or regions) Black & Veatch built laboratories in.

I brought up those links here. I will eventually format them to be more readable.

I am guessing Putin is well aware of these locations.

This is a pretty decent YouTube video that is short. 6mins.

It goes through the labs.

That's just a list mid level cities and towns in Ukraine. Of course if you want staff for your labs you build them in those places. They will also be the kind of settlements Russia needs to take to quell opposition. Kharkiv and Lviv are big cities, they were always going to be on the news in this situation.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Okay, Mr. jet199.

Why do you sound like you have experience on Ukraine demographics and city economics? Do you just take a look at Google Maps to decide they're big cities compared to others?

I'm honestly curious; I'd like to know your thought process.

[–]jet199 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The thing is you do likely have a lab like this near you somewhere.

It's not that the US exports this research because it doesn't want it at home.

There's only a small number of people in the world with the qualifications or will to do this work for a living so every country will have these labs.

Do you not remember the time anthrax powder was posted out in the US? That came from such a lab in America.

Playing defense for the US government again. What's the deal?

Anthrax is a bio-weapon. It was used in the terror attacks after 9/11, mailed to Tom Daschle and other politicians

It would be funny if Russia actually found WMDs.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

What do you mean? Please expand.

[–]filbs111 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I mean, NATO countries (or rather, those with power over them) "justified" saving Iraqis from the pain of living by cooking up a "Weapons of Mass Destruction" story. It would be amusing if Russia found that the bio-laboratories contained something that meets the definition of a biological weapon. Arguably any pathogen can be weaponised. Probably we should content ourselves that if this does turn out to be true, the fact that we won't get to hear about it adds to some kind of delicious irony.

This is how the nukes are going to go off.

[–]DirewolfGhost 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Probably not. The Russians are reasonable. It requires two unreasonable parties.

[–]On-Point 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

Nice tinfoil hat!

[–]Chipit[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Certainly, 7 day old account that's filled with insults instead of arguments!

[–]On-Point 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Stop sucking russian dicks.

[–]Cyberat 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Won't release any pathogens if you hit them with: nukes, heavy incendiaries, napalm.

BURN IT ALL DOWN !!!
