    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
