Which can only happen if we end all war, we have the means but not the will.
Nato could have easily stopped all of those conflicts and many more, we could have stopped uganda and rawanda happening too.
Someone NEEDS to police the world if we want to advance as a species.
One world government is coming.

So its peaceful non-weaponized study on deadly pathogens in Ukraine, and it was being paid for by the department of defense?
for the explicit purpose of 'asserting independence from russia'?
hol up

I get Hunter Biden being the avenue for corrupt Ukrainian entities to try to exert sway over US policy and bribe US officials to bring funding their way, with a cut "for the big guy". But I assumed it was state department money giving ambiguity and plausible deniability on biolabs. That it was DoD money changes the story


You can't maintain a pretense that military spending on Ukrainian biolabs studying deadly pathogens is totally divorced from bioweapons

"War... has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nano-machines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control... battlefield control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. War - has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from Weapons of Mass Destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War has changed... When the battlefield is under total control, war becomes routine."

what other pool of money was available other than Pentagon budget? legit question.

I assumed state department foreign aid was used for this kind of thing, even if it was aggressive action dressed up with plausible deniability like funding pro-democracy groups in Russia
If state is giving foreign aid to bolster domestic research programs in Ukraine that's one thing, if the military is paying to build BSL-3 facilities for the purpose of studying the most weaponizable pathogens, that's another

You can't be that naive. DoD funding peaceful research on foreign soil?

You realize the department of defense funds A LOT of non-weaponizable research, right?

And the DoD isn't going to fund supervirus-creating research out of anything lower than a BSL4 lab, right?

Really the fact that the DoD was involved at all totally disproves the existence of weaponizable research. Ukraine does not have a BSL4 lab and the DoD is not going to be doing weapons research in unequipped facilities where it can get easily leaked and traced back to them should it start infecting the public.

you realize the DOD funds all sorts of non-weapons research right? https://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/prgdefault

Yeah, they splash around in private companies, biotechs (non-weaponized stuff like cancer research), both domestic and abroad. I'm invested in a few. The DOD has a role in protecting American interests outside of combat/war/international relations. It's usually a one-time grant here or there unless something really shows promise, then it could be recurring.
@ some of the other willfully ignorant replies, this thread is a fantastic example of people with no fucking knowledge of context or existing paradigms hearing a scary word like DoD and defaulting to "oh well of course it must be something corrupt let's not even consider if there could be a reasonable explanation" bro wtf what a fucking simple and fear-driven way to live
