    I'm seeing grants for lab modernization, monitoring old nuke/bio/chem weapon storage, and repairing secure sites with samples on the USA today article and the DW article on the biolab theory.

    The US has an 800k acre facility biowarfare research area in the Dugway Proving grounds that does all sorts of crazy shit - stuff beyond VX was developed there. Some of the ground is so fucked up they have to use bunnysuits to walk outside when the wind blows. Dugway is where the DoD have tested all known chemical/bio weapons, why would they change now ? The DoD doesn't care about the few Mormons and Native Americans who live nearby with higher cancer rates. The military folks really don't need to use Ukraine to do nasty shit, they'll do it right here in the states.

      You haven’t explained why the Pentagon is handling these civilian agricultural biolabs and not the CDC, NIH or an agricultural or civilian group. Nor why they use foreign researchers with diplomatic plates

        I have no idea how American government procurement works but it looks like these DoD grants are specifically for countries with the possibility of proliferation from old Soviet programs.

        Link to the Grant Fact Sheet.

        DoD’s CTR Program began its biological work with Ukraine to reduce the risk posed by the former Soviet Union’s illegal biological weapons program, which left Soviet successor states with unsecured biological materials after the fall of the USSR.

        I have no idea how diplomatic status works on DoD programs dealing with bioweapon storage. Is having diplomatic status unusual?

          If that was true they would phase the labs out as Soviet scientists retire. Instead they keep the work going and bring in foreign scientists.

          This shit doesn’t add up, it stinks, the US lied and denied them until cornered & the US has a history of using bio warfare

          I don’t buy any of this and find it much more likely and simple that they are simply doing bio weapon research

        I never implied the US was currently doing bioweapons research at Dugway; however, if the US was doing bioweapons research that is where they would do it not in Ukraine or any other place.
