How can you be so sure ?


look at US record of backing various factions to fight each other , and then double crossing one or other

( e.g. )

A biolab is either used to diagnose infections with highly lethal and transmissible pathogens, or they are used to research these pathogens to improve our scientific understanding of how they work and to develop new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics tests.

a bio-weapons is not the same....I have never heard of, or come across, an official "bio-weapons" lab other than in films......but they would not be used to develop drugs etc

Gain-of-function labs are not banned in the US. The ban on funding gain-of-function was lifted in 2017 by the US. In fact it was only banned for 3 years.

why they be banned at all , and what is the sole purpose anyway…

They were not banned. What was banned was public money being used to fund labs performing gain-of-function activities. This was mainly due to several accidents in U.S. biocontainment labs. However, the NIH in 2017 determined GoF studies can be of great benefit in understanding how disease works and can be combated.

The public are the voters are they not , the government thought they couldn't get back in with such abhorrent scheme so these companies shifted to places where voters hardly get a say

and they wouldn't get the blame - if something catastrophic was ever to occur ......

He's also implying that all of the biolabs in Ukraine are involved in gain-of-function research, which again hasn't been established.

Or to put it another way, a digression of a digression of a digression of a digression ... of a claim which was already pretty spurious to begin with. Pretty much like everything else he posts here.

Said every paranoid delusional conspiracy believer ever.

It must be torture living inside your head. When was the last time you went to bed and didn't wake up screaming in the middle of the night?

So a possible cease fire , and this apparently gives US free reign to Openly dump tonnes of ammo on Ukraine

meanwhile it took Putin to get us to repay debts to Iran , and release Nazaneen

Nope, but looking for and somehow finding an off-the-wall, counter to basic logic and reason explanation for pretty much every single thing that ever happens anywhere in the world sure as hell does!

Of course, only those with the same special insight as you are capable of understanding anything, right?

The only thing that will make anyone think is that you're either just blatantly trolling now, or you're starting to lose the final few marbles that you still had.

Even if you accept the very highest of estimates of casualties for the conflict in total (approx 1.5M, from 2003 to 2017), there's no way in hell that a full 20% of them occurred in just the first 3 weeks.

I might be a lot of things, but I'm not a drooling wibbler or a troll. You, without absolutely any question at all, are certainly one or the other.

Right, heaven forbid you might occasionally do the right thing, if there's the slightest risk it won't be in some way "sticking one to the man", "bashing the established financial order", or whatever other flavour of tripe it is you're swallowing today.

Intervention eh bud, but who? U, S gets involved then china gets involved its a road to to nowhere.
Hopefully Putin gets overthrown and meets a watery grave and we get a moderate leader of Russia.
