Russia has possession of several of these labs.
It is a bit late to start trying to hide them now.
Remember when Obama told Medvedev he could do more in his second term? (for Russia, in context) ... maybe this was it, look the other way in 2014 over Crimea, look the other way in 2022 (his third term) when Russia knocked on the doors of the labs, mission accomplished, gain of function.
Just sayin, we only think this administration is opposed to Russia because they keep invoking the Trump-Putin connection they invented. Who can really say they are opposed? Maybe they were playing both sides, making money at both ends.
The time has come, certainly, for the Senate to start asking more searching questions and every leading Democrat past or present should be grilled about all these matters. I don’t know what other western leaders may have been play acting all along on these issues, could be some, could be all. That’s the problem of their own political processes. I wouldn’t trust Trudeau or Freeland on such things, it’s easy enough to say “Ukraine, democracy, freedom” in a sentence but we saw in Ottawa with the truck convoy how weak the commitment was to democracy and freedom. Why should the Ukraine be any different?
Back in the day, all these politicians aligned with Moscow. Vlad hasn’t changed that much. He’s still good buddy with Havana. I always thought Biden (meaning Obama) and Trudeau would also be buddy with Havana ... and Caracas ... and Hanoi etc etc. Globalism after all is just communism with billionaires instead of university professors.
It is a bit late to start trying to hide them now.
Hence the bleating warning about Russia performing a bio/chem false flag attack.
They just want to get ahead of the story if something nasty gets out.
