Fake?! https://youtu.be/ydSf57SRtcQ
You cannot target Russian DNA. For starters, it's very similar to Ukrainian DNA...
Organizations like CIA have a long history of pursuing precisely these kinds of insane ideas.
You seem to know as much about genetics as you do about politics.
Didn't say anything about genetics troll. What I said was that the CIA has a history of pursuing absurd projects like this. This is just one example https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758989641/the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control-torture-lsd-and-a-poisoner-in-chief
Yet, there's no actual evidence of any of it
Seems too soon to claim that, we don't know what's in those labs and this will come out after the conflict is over.
It is functionally identical, given the close recent history between the two countries. For that matter, all humans are close, especially at a population level. People are trying to make this too complicated. Conventional weapons are perfectly capable of doing massive damage to an army without insane amounts of collateral damage, both to civilians and allies.
You won't believe what genocidal empire won't sign bioweapons control treaty https://www.nature.com/articles/nbt0901-793
The US doesnt care about sacrificing Ukrainians as long as they can hurt Russia.
But Ukraine would, and the accusation is that this is being developed in Ukrainian labs.
Ukraine isn't a sovereign state, it's a puppet régime run by US.
Ok, I should have been more specific: the way it is often framed (and the way I have seen it framed, and how the linked article frames it) is as if these were US-affiliated labs working on bioweapons. That is not what Nuland said. Biological research facilities do not have to be bioweapons labs, just as explosives research facilities need not be arms manufacturers.
Greenwald (the author of the linked article) of course does what Greenwald recently is hell-bent on doing, which is to try to scandalize anything he can. I used to respect the man, but that was a long while ago.
These were bioweapons labs left over from USSR days, and US didn't take over these labs for any sort of altruistic purpose.
