U.S. Sen. Dick Lugar applauded the opening of the Interim Central Reference Laboratory in Odessa, Ukraine, this week, announcing that it will be instrumental in researching dangerous pathogens used by bioterrorists.
The level-3 bio-safety lab, which is the first built under the expanded authority of the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction program, will be used to study anthrax, tularemia and Q fever as well as other dangerous pathogens.
“The continuing cooperation of Nunn-Lugar partners has improved safety for all people against weapons of mass destruction and potential terrorist use, in addition to advancements in the prevention of pandemics and public health consequences,” Lugar said.
Lugar said plans for the facility began in 2005 when he and then Senator Barack Obama entered a partnership with Ukrainian officials. Lugar and Obama also helped coordinate efforts between the U.S and Ukrainian researchers that year in an effort to study and help prevent avian flu.
The Nunn-Lugar Act, which established the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, was established in 1991. Since that time it has provided funding and assistance to help the former Soviet Union dismantle and safeguard large stockpiles of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. The program has also been responsible for destroying chemical weapons in Albania, Lugar said.
bttt
The clowns that rule us need to be in prison.
Sam Nunn. Democrat war hawk.
How many biolabs does Russia have in Canada or Mexico?
Asking for a friend
Dick Lugar. I’ll defer to one of our friends from Indiana.
Jeezy, pretty soon we’ll hear from Patsy Schroeder or Daniel Patrick Moynihan. You know.....Democrats that had brains and not just one nerve bundle straight between ears, emotions, and mouth, bypassing any processing need in the brain.
If true, that would explain how Obama is able to afford the multimillion dollar digs in D.C. that he turned into a cyber spy station and the 12 or 14 million dollar digs in Martha’s vineyard.
They need to be SHOT!
Every country has bio labs.
This is the stupidest conspiracy I’ve seen in a some time.
Joe Biden’s ear lobes were even better.
“Oh noooooooo Brazil and Belgium have bio labs!!!”
So where are the soros stooges telling us this is pro Russia propaganda?
(Hint, dear readers, if soros and his ilk are for something, you’d best be against it.)
“Gain of function” ring any bells?
So what does that mean??
I’m a realist so I don’t believe for one second that the Wuhan Lab is the ONLY Lab that works on Gain of Function and even worse nasty deadly viruses.
There are Government Labs throughout the World.
Finland, Croatia, India, Israel, Japan……..and guess what?
They all perform research on the worse crap on the planet.
The Labs in Ukraine are only a topic right now because they’re being used as propaganda.
Do you think Bio Labs in Syria are working on allergy cures??
But, why should the Russians assume our intent is safety when we are bringing dangerous pathogens into their part of the world? That is especially true given what happened under Fauci's direction in Wuhan.
And, now, Marco Rubio acts shocked when this news comes out when these labs have existed for more than a decade. He knows damn well they existed and what was going on in them.
Rubio was just covering Deep State's ass.
Think really hard about it.
Your Fauci is showing
Your Fauci is showing
How many GOP Senators backed this?
I’m betting more than a couple
Oh yes…….drop Fauci into it = win argument.
Tell me……how long and for how reasons are you Q/Anti-Vaxxer people to use Fauci?
Couple of years?
Blamed for every bad current event until the next generation?
Use to be the first one to mention Hitler or Nazi, automatically loses the debate.
We need to add Fauci to the list.
So happy that Mad Vlad has no bio weapons. Careful Mad Vlad, your desperation is showing.
