What in the hell are we doing building bio labs all over?

Isn’t one world wide pandemic enough?

NOTHING is Chomo Joe’s fault. Nothing.


This is the important lesson about everything. Inflation, shortages, Chinese virus, foreign policy, crime...none of it is Brandon’s fault and if you think it is, you just might be an insurrectionist.

If this is dirty, Russia is justified in raising hell and pushing a buffer from their borders.

Why on God’s green earth would the US build a bioweapons research lab in Kazakhstan?

In the shadowy world of global dealmaking, having your pic taken w/ a corrupt American pol is worth gazillions. None of which the greedy Bidens saw a Penny of......
just the paltry millions they sold their souls for.

Once again, the US should not have been there in the first place and screwed up as usual. Can you blame the Russians for not wanting anything what smells like the US anywhere near its borders? What the US political system has done to its own citizen, from corrupting the elections, to swamping the nation with illegals as well as pushing and promoting harmful cures which don’t work. Could you honestly say you trust your own government?

In addition to her industry, the US has evidently off-shored its biological gain-of-function research to cash-strapped ex-Soviet republics and mainland China.

Don’t think Putin is pure as the wind-driven snow.

The other three you mention. DEFINITELY concur. They are bad news.

It’s almost like there aren’t sovereign nations playing the game anymore.

We just don’t know it yet.

Crazy conspiracy article. It alleges that the US is building up its military biological potential by funding a lab in Kazakhstan, who is a close ally of Putin. Makes no sense.

USSR had bio-weapons labs in Kazakhstan. When it fell apart all funding was cut to these labs and scientists. US passed the Nunn-Lugar amendment which authorizing U.S. threat reduction assistance to the former republics.

The Department of Defense manages the Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) Program, which provides Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan with assistance in transporting, storing, and dismantling nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. U.S. assistance has helped these nations eliminate the delivery systems for nuclear weapons under the START Treaty, secure weapons storage areas, construct a storage facility for nuclear materials removed from weapons, construct a destruction facility for chemical weapons, and secure biological weapons materials. These centers have provided research grants to scientists and engineers so that they will not sell their knowledge to other nations or terrorist groups.
