I think it’s necessary to ask why the United States got involved overseas with biolabs in 1991. Yes the relevant date is 1991. Well, what happened in 1991? When the USSR dissolved at the end of 1991, it left roughly 30,000 nuclear weapons, an estimated 40,000 tons of chemical weapons, and the world’s largest biological weapons program spread across what became 15 separate countries including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Ukraine alone briefly became the third-largest nuclear power in the world. None of these new governments had the money, institutions, or expertise to secure all of it. So in November 1991, two senators Sam Nunn (a Georgia Democrat) and Richard Lugar (an Indiana Republican) passed the Soviet Threat Reduction Act, creating what became the Cooperative Threat Reduction program. The logic wasn’t sinister at all. It was actually pretty damn sound. It’s cheaper and safer to pay to dismantle and secure these weapons at the source than to face them later in the hands of an enemy or a terrorist. The biological component specifically did three things: secured or destroyed the dangerous pathogen stocks left from the Soviet program, converted former weapons labs into public-health and disease-surveillance labs, and employed the scientists in detecting natural outbreaks instead of engineering them. So really we had to clean up the super secret bio labs Russia created and kept in secret. Behind a civilian front called Biopreparat, the Soviet Union ran the largest and most advanced secret bioweapons program in history. It employed 70,000 people, and it was in direct violation of the 1972 treaty it signed not to do that. So instead they created a biolab to test anthrax, plague, smallpox, tularemia, and Marburg, and genetically engineered strains to resist antibiotics and survive missile flights. The weaponized anthrax leaked from a military plant at Sverdlovsk in 1979 and killed dozens (Russia blamed on tainted meat for 13 years); then an open-air smallpox test near the Aral Sea sickened ten and killed three in 1971 (this was also hidden for three decades). Russia also ran the world’s largest chemical-weapons stockpile, including the undeclared Novichok nerve agents later used to poison Sergei Skripal in 2018 and Alexei Navalny in 2020, plus the radioactive polonium-210 assassination of defector Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006. Every program was built in secret, denied, and exposed only by accidents, defectors, or forensic trails. Ukraine emerged from the USSR as the world’s third-largest nuclear power, so the entire 1990s went to get Ukraine to give up the nuclear weapons left on its soil.  Through that decade, Cooperative Threat Reduction money in Ukraine was spent dismantling warheads, missiles, and silos. Once the nuclear work was winding down and bioterrorism had jumped to the top of the US security agenda (post-9/11 and the 2001 anthrax letters), attention turned to Ukraine’s remaining unsecured Soviet residue: the dangerous pathogen stocks still held in the old anti-plague network. That’s exactly what the new deal targeted the Soviet-era anti-plague network, which still stored dangerous pathogens.  The agreement was signed in Kyiv in August 2005 to secure them and convert them into safe research facilities. So if you wanna talk about the role of the media in the entire Ukraine war and what they said in 2022 and how they were not forthcoming and how the fact checks were so stupid that all of us kept telling them they’re full of it, we can do that. If you wanna talk about how they used every single thing they could as leverage to convince Americans to support Ukraine, we can do that too, but at the end of the day, but we’re not gonna do, at least those of us that are pro the United States of America is repeat Russian talking points. You’re the only country who funded secret bio labs was Russia. And they got caught.
