Self-anointed "fact-checkers” in the U.S. corporate press have spent two weeks mocking as disinformation and a false conspiracy theory the claim that Ukraine has biological weapons labs, either alone or with U.S. support. They never presented any evidence for their ruling — how could they possibly know? and how could they prove the negative? — but nonetheless they invoked their characteristically authoritative, above-it-all tone of self-assurance and self-arrogated right to decree the truth, definitively labelling such claims false.
Claims that Ukraine currently maintains dangerous biological weapons labs came from Russia as well as China. The Chinese Foreign Ministry this month claimed: "The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone.” The Russian Foreign Ministry asserted that “Russia obtained documents proving that Ukrainian biological laboratories located near Russian borders worked on development of components of biological weapons.” Such assertions deserve the same level of skepticism as U.S. denials: namely, none of it should be believed to be true or false absent evidence. Yet U.S. fact-checkers dutifully and reflexively sided with the U.S. Government to declare such claims "disinformation” and to mock them as QAnon conspiracy theories.

No. I have to disagree with you. There is absolutely no justifiable Bioweapon research laboratory, FRiend.
It is a moral imperative not to endanger the world population with such reckless activity - as evidenced by the insane Covid-19 Pandemic brought to you by the 185-year old Death Merchant Anthony Mengele Fossil.
Your link doesn’t appear to have any reference to the topic at hand. I am not saying we did have bioweapons laboratories, just pointing out the accusations.
The potential biolabs story has been on numerous threads here of Freerepublic. However, no definitive proof they were bioweapons labs has been presented. Even where I went to school there was a lab to surveil potential agricultural pathogens which could be released (at that time Al-Qaeda was of concern).
All good questions. No justification for a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
First was a wrong link so I reposted.
And Obama set these up.
No, not Ruskie. Just showing that the accusation has been made by both China and Russia. I have never said the assertions are true.
Where’s Fauci?
China has so much more credibility! /s
Not where he should by a long shot.
‘The Chinese Foreign Ministry this month claimed: “The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone.”’
O.M.G., if true. What are we doing? I’m surprised that there hasn’t been terrorist attacks on one or several of them. Maybe there has been, and it’s been covered-up?
He sleeps with the fishes.
She sure was hemming and hawing when it was time for an answer. Hiding what?
what is in there that can’t be burned or destroyed and why wasn’t it done over a week ago???
Okay I see the link. The Russians claim to have documents, but are the documents real? How would we know, if they have biological agents that are supposedly Ukrainian and sponsored by the US, that said biological agents were something sitting in a freezer in Russia that they just pulled out as “proof”?
I don’t think, unless someone has been extremely meticulous in their documentation, that we will ever know the truth behind this story.
Yep, there's Ukraine on the US funding map.
But look - Afghanistan had even more funding programs!
Putin must invade Afghanistan now! It's the only way to uncover the truth!
Reminds me of rendition....using other countries to skirt our laws.
Fort Detrick, Maryland has a Level-4 Bio Lab.
Yep.
So now we believe China.
The country that unleashed the SARS Virus into the world and caused pain, death, and even election frauds now makes claims that are supposed to be believed.
Mapping the human DNA is nothing compared to mapping the human ability to believe anything if it’s turned into a conspiracy.
Q———>Vaccines———>Bio Labs———>Lord knows what’s next.
