The Ukrainian biolabs debate seems to ignore some important observations:
Why was Victoria Nuland so worried about the pathogens developed in these labs from falling into Russian hands?
They were stated not to be 'biological weapons' but 'research materials' by Nuland (see clip) so what's the big deal?
It's pretty obvious that Nuland was worried about the contents of the labs falling into Russian hands precisely because of what the Russians may have found.
They may have found pathogens that could easily cross the line into becoming biological weapons and the last thing the USA wanted was for Russia to find out that the USA was funding biolabs on Russia's borders to develop pathogens that could quickly be converted into biological weapons to use against Russia.
There have even been suggestions that the Ukrainian biolab research used Russian DNA to try to breed pathogens that could only target Russians.
One wonders what the UK would think if it became clear that some 40 biolabs funded by Russia had been operating for years in Ireland, just across the border from the UK's Northern Ireland, that the world knew little about or denied they existed?
Or what the USA would think if it became clear that some 40 biolabs funded by China had been operating for years in Mexico, just across the border from Texas, that the world knew little about or denied they existed?
I think we all know the answer to those questions.
But as usual the narrative is: it's alright if the biolabs are in Ukraine - just don't put them on my borders - and it's alright if the target is Russians, as long as it's not me.
Nobody seems to give a damn about what happens if these deadly pathogens escaped into the local Ukrainian population just about preventing these 'research materials' falling into the hands of the Russians.
