Russia, China Accuse U.S. of Making Biological Weapons in Ukraine - Demand Confidential Info
2022-03-11
[Daily Patriot] On Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry of Russia claimed they have "confirmed" that the United States is allegedly developing "biological weapons" in Ukrainian laboratories.
See?? The Ukrainians have a wet market too!
They reported that Russian troops found "documentation" of Ukrainian scientists destroying evidence of "plague, anthrax, rabbit-fever, cholera and other lethal diseases" on February 24, according to Foreign Ministry spokesman Maria Zakharova. This came after Russian President Vladimir Putin began a full scale invasion of the country to "de-Nazify" it, as he argues.

Conveniently enough, once Russia announced their alleged findings, the government of Communist China started publicizing the accusations. They are now demanding that the United States reveal all classified information regarding biological military research.

Imagine that, China, where the coronavirus pandemic fire was sparked, is working in cahoots with Russia to accuse the United States of dabbling in biological warfare. The irony.

Breitbart reports:
The official stance of the Chinese government is that the Chinese coronavirus pandemic — which began in Wuhan, China, in 2019, was triggered by a laboratory leak in Maryland and covered up using cases of e-cigarette injuries. Beijing has yet to explain how the virus began spreading in Wuhan before it spread in the United States if this theory is accurate, or how non-contagious injuries could secretly be cases of highly infectious Chinese coronavirus transmission.

"We confirm that, during the special military operation in Ukraine, the Kiev [sic] regime was found to have been concealing traces of a military biological programme implemented with funding from the United States Department of Defence," Zakharov stated Tuesday. "Documentation on the urgent eradication of highly hazardous pathogens of plague, anthrax, rabbit-fever, cholera and other lethal diseases on February 24 was received from employees of Ukrainian biolaboratories."

U.S. Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland confirmed in a Congressional hearing on Tuesday that Ukraine was home to “biological research facilities” and that the State Department was “quite concerned” Russia would seize them as part of its military campaign in the country.

“Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of,” Nuland said in response to a question from Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), “so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.”

Nuland added she would have “no doubt” that Russian forces would be responsible in the event of any biological attack in Ukraine.

So perhaps Russia is planning a biological attack and plans to blame it on the United States. That would explain the foundation for those claims being laid now.

#19  Nuland may not pretend to be conservative but she's definitely a war monger.

#18  James Carden at The American Conservative explains

Stop Biden’s Neocon Nominee To The State Department
Victoria Nuland helped fuel a coup and violent war in Ukraine, yet the president-elect thinks she's a perfect fit.

#17  To me a "neo-conservative" is a lib who pretends to be "conservative" to root for war.

#16  Huh? Victoria Nuland is the epitome of a neo-conservative ... meddling and conniving to promote "democracy" in unstable countries outside of our sphere

#15  No, Mr. No. Except for the Communists, there are plenty of the other groups who are more or less quietly conservative.

As for Ms Nuland, she came up through the State Department, then the Center for a New American Security — called “President Obama’s farm team” for good reason — so I don’t see how she could be counted as a war-mongering conservative, which is what neocon means to me.

#14  #6 I really hate that I dont trust our government on issues like this.

I do, too. The majority of Americans are with us. It's only gheys, Communists, swampies and neocons (talk about a Star Wars bar-scene freak show) who trust this government ...

#13  Here's Glenn Greenwald today on the fucking neocon bitch who helped trigger this whole shitshow

Unfortunately for this propaganda racket masquerading as neutral and high-minded fact-checking, the neocon official long in charge of U.S. policy in Ukraine testified on Monday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and strongly suggested that claims [that Ukraine has bioweapons labs run by the US] are, at least in part, true.

#12  Well, they didn't nuke the labs to hide the evidence, so we have that going for us.

#11  This lab thing is a mix of US and Foreign Gov's, NGO's, big Pharma and big Ed Research. Too many financial interest in corrupt countries. I'll wager this pre-dates Obama. It is just more visible as it became normalized and thererfore less covert.

It's part of an old game. Anyone ever wonder where human trials were done before the were approved in the US by the FDA?

#8  All the corrupt people here who thought they'd covered up their corruption were merely letting it fester to give Putin and Xi another weapon to use against us.

#7  ^ Well said. Nothing this administration says about biolabs can be believed. They haven't even come clean about Wuhan, let alone the Pfizer side effects data.

#6  I really hate that I dont trust our government on issues like this. The releases for the last few days were denial that we had labs over there. Then it was we were there to help them remove the lab material. Then our government said to expect a false flag operation from Russia. Now here we are. With the Wuhan lies and how all that went down, with knowing the Obama admin outlawed this then moved it all outside the US, I dont know what to believe.

#5  So perhaps Russia is planning a biological attack and plans to blame it on the United States.

Just like they did with that Russian lab in Wuhan. Oh wait...

#4  Ex President Obama is rumored to be tied to this. He will not be protected from prosecution if this proves to be true. Ya gotta know the US wont say a word about the China labs because we were having work done there as well.

#3  So, the entire thing has been precipitated to give the deep state an excuse to disappear Fauxi via extradition to Russia. I like it!

And for those who said (including myself) "we don't have a dog in the fight." What now ?
