The Kremlin has pushed false claims that the U.S. is working with Ukraine on bioweapons labs, a narrative that QAnon has picked up and further distorted.
This makes sense in the context of creating a bioweapon to potentially attack russia with if they wished to.
I mean, this also doesn’t make sense cuz that would be literally impossible to do.
Edit: also, yes the US has pulled shit like this in the past, but a lot of that was during the Cold War when I think the US was a lot more insecure in its power and so people felt the need to research goofy SciFi crap like using LSD as a truth serum and making microwave guns. Nowadays the US sorta has that shit down pat, they realized methods for breaking people that require just a dark room and a guy in a ski mask, no brain chips or LSD needed, and we can assassinate people from like a 100 miles away with a robot plane and a tiny bomb. Who needs untested wacko SciFi shit when you got focus tested board approved methods.
Which is what makes it an absolutely amazing military-industrial complex grift. Look at how much money they've poured into the dumpster fire that is the F-35; they'd happily piss away billions of dollars into a defense contractor startup that claims that it is going to pull Theranos-level bullshit, physical impossibilities be damned.
I feel like the grift is easier to hide in a complex engineer project involving 100s of companies than it is in a project who’s base premise is so fallacious anyone with a biology degree could tell you it’s BS.
