I want to know what exact bioweapons were being developed. Right now it’s a he said she said.
West says it was for defensive purposes and Russia says it was for offensive capabilities.
So then tell us exactly what was being researched (with documents). That should tell us if it was legit defense or offensive. Or illegal to do in the US. If it proves to be another Wuhan situation then lets see the documents.
I’m kind of tired of the Russian trope. Where they have some master info that they can release at some date in the future and it never gets released. Like the Seth Rich murder, DNC Hack, Hillary’s emails, Stolen Election, Bioweapons, etc...
Just like the left accuses Trump of collusion we believe Russia has some master intelligence files on everything, yet never releases it to their advantage. To me that sounds like info-operations. Where they have nothing, but spin it as if they do.
Let's take a step back and do something we're not used to doing, at least in the field of international relations: let's try to look at the situation through someone else's eyes.
If there really are bioweapon labs in Ukraine, then Putin would not merely have an interest in shutting them down; as the leader of Russia (Ukraine's neighbor), he would be morally obliged to do so.
Semantics about them being defensive or offensive in nature mean nothing to him (nor would they to us); all of the insistence that we can bleat that we would never use them offensively would (and should) fall on deaf ears.
