@lucash_dev Read that article again, more carefully. It'd do you some good.

@Tusk By that standard, what _isn't_ a foundation of bio warfare?

Highly infectious pathogens simply aren't good offensive weapons, because they pose a huge risk to your own people. The only plausible exception is to use pathogens that _aren't_ particularly deadly, in conjunction with social manipulation. It's plausible that china is doing that; it is not plausible that the US is doing that.

Stop being a useful idiot.

@Tusk Gain of function research has proven to be irresponsible. Quite likely even criminally negligent.

But it is _not_ on the same moral level as funding offensive bioweapons research. Not at all. And no-one is seriously accusing Fauci of funding that.

"Don't be a useful idiot

No, the United States wasn't funding bioweapons research in Ukraine; this was part of a long-running effort to pay off ex-Soviet scientists so they wouldn't take their talents to South Tehran"

Good read.

@jeffcliff Attacking nuclear plants is pretty clearly against international law in almost all circumstances _even if_ they are military installations. There's simply no excuse for Chernobyl, and I think the international community is right to set an example.

Of course, from a practical point of view, you want to encourage soldiers to surrender. So executing just the higher ranking officers involved probably makes sense.

@jeffcliff Absolutely. The interference so far is absolutely a war crime and the Russian soldiers involved already deserve to be shot.

The fact they are forcing plant personnel to stay at the plant rather than allowing them to be rotated normally and take time off is itself another war crime.

@jeffcliff Chernobyl has been closed for about two decades, so the fuel should be at the point where it doesn't need active cooling. The international atomic energy regulator claims the same.

That said, I could imagine the Russians exploiting this for fear purposes, eg with a false flag attack with deliberate radiation releases.

Sure enough the most competent reporter on covid is the one making the most sense on Ukraine.

Sounds like a rare example of execution for treason during a time of war.
