Sergiyev Posad-6, a military site northeast of Moscow, was a biological weapons research center during the Cold War. A major renovation began at the site shortly after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Washington Post reports.

    Russian officials have said that the purpose of the labs is to study Ebola viruses and other deadly microbes in order to protect Russia from possible bioterrorism.

    So they are weaponizing Ebola and other deadly microbes in order to commit bioterrorism.

    Every statement they make, the complete opposite is the truth.

    I’ve been wondering what the endgame is for Russia if they can’t defeat Ukraine. You know they won’t accept defeat without some scorched earth sorta business first…dirtier and dirtier tricks etc. This is gonna get a lot worse before it ends…

    Operation Unthinkable should have happened. It would have meant millions more deaths right after WW II, but it would have prevented decades more of Russian oppression in the Soviet “republics” (ie. their colonies).

    It was our last chance to unfuck Russia, but now that they have nuclear weapons, they’re going to be a threat to the rest of the world for as long as they exist.

      I never realised what it was called but have always thought that we should never have stopped when we did. Yes it would have been costly in loss of personnel (civ and military) and expensive but think of all the suffering and money saved by not having a Soviet Union.
