No “offensive biologic weapons” in any of the dozens of biological labs in Ukraine- Pentagon
Parse the statement carefully. It is a nothing statement meant to sound like something.
Let’s look at what the Biden administration says:
“I can say to you unequivocally there are no offensive biologic weapons in the Ukraine laboratories that the United States has been involved with.” - Deborah Rosenbaum, the assistant secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs, to the House subcommittee on Intelligence and Special Operations on Friday, April 1, 2022
This is not “unequivocally”. This is full of hedging and weasel words:
Why limit it to “offensive”? Biological weapons will boomerang on the user too so there really are few solely defensive or offensive biological weapons.
Why limit it to “that the United States has been involved with”?
Why limit it to “laboratories”?
Why limit it to “weapons”?
Why limit it to “biologic” vs “biological”? Parsing it, a 'biological' is an adjective derived from the word biology, so we have biological weapons whereas 'biologic' is a noun to describe a genetically-engineered protein which is derived from living organisms?
Why limit it to “Ukraine laboratories”? Are there non-Ukraine laboratories in Ukraine? e.g. Does the US have laboratories in Ukraine that are not Ukrainian?
Why has it take 20-30 years to handle this? One could easily dismantle and close all these labs in a few years if that was the goal.
This is an unequivocal statement: “There are no biologic or biological weapons or research on them occurring in the Ukraine.” Instead they try to say something “unequivocally” and yet have at least 6 instances where they hedge what they are saying. Why? This isn’t a casual statement, this is a statement (perhaps under oath) to the US Congress. What Ms. Rosenbaum said is an equivocal statement while she claims it is an unequivocal statement and a desecration of the English language.
What is being hidden? Love your country, but never trust the government. Just ask Snowden and Assange. Clapper and Brennan committed perjury to the US Congress and suffered no consequences and spied on every single American.
Is the US being lied to here? No one knows, but is it like the “WMDs in Iraq”? Hunter Biden’s laptop?
I am no fan of Putin, and not a fan of Zelensky although Ukraine is in the right to defend themselves, but the US does not help the case when they can not be honest and forthright to Congress or the citizens of the United States.
Putin has been warning Ukraine for over fifteen years to stop with the NATO crap and to stop with their cultist/Nazi Khazarian Jewish Mafia mess. I don't blame Putin. Would we want the CCP on our border? From what I have learned, more of the deaths in Ukraine have been from the Nazis' than from the Russian. Ukrainian Nazis' killing their own countrymen--women and children. I saw a photo where the Nazis' carved a swasticka onto a girls chest. Then they killed her. They are evil people. Zelensky is a Jew, a Khazarian Jew--not an Abrahamic Jew. Abrahamic Jews comprise only about 2 per cent of the Jewish faith. BB Netanyahu is not an Abrahamic Jew.
