“Bio Weapons Labs” in Ukraine

The idea that there are bioweapon labs in Ukraine is pretty effectively debunked by Ryan McBeth:

The fact that there are *biological* labs in Ukraine strikes me as entirely unsuprising… and entirely to be expected. Ukraine is an agricultural nation, and where you find agriculture *and* modern society, you find laboratories that study agriculture. And a large part of that is studying the diseases and pests that can damage agriculture. The midwest of the United States is littered with such labs, many in local universities, where researchers study everything from anthrax to locusts, aphids to fungi. But the Russian propagandists months ago made a big, fake deal of this, and a distressing number of people in the West fell for it.

    “but but but the US paid for them!”

    yup we did. back in the 1950’s and 60’s. because ivan with an empty belly looks at west germany kinda hungrily. a failed crop in ukraine meant a likely invasion. it was cheap war insurance, and it gave our guys a heads up on what wheat diseases were going to come our way.

    I love the russian theories that they’re losing because ukraine is making super-soldiers in these biolabs. because they couldn’t possibly be losing because they’re drunk 24/7.
