Unequivocally.

This is coolbert:

“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, Assistant Secretary of defense for nuclear, chemical, and biological defense programs. 

As devoted readers to the blog can well imagine, this headline is of instantaneous interest to me.

 From the "Washington Examiner" the story by Mike Brest, Defense Reporter |   | April 01, 2022.

"‘No offensive biologic weapons’ in Ukrainian biolabs US assisted, Pentagon says"

DEFENSIVE ONLY! NO OFFENSIVE! GET IT!

"There are no 'offensive biologic weapons' in any of the dozens of biological labs in Ukraine that the United States has partnered with on safety precautions."

"The U.S. has since 2005 worked with Ukrainian officials on how to implement additional safety procedures in 44 labs, which had previously been used for the former Soviet Union's illegal biological weapons program. These facilities have gained outsize significance recently amid a Russian disinformation campaign claiming that the U.S. is working with Ukraine to develop biological weapons, which the Biden administration has forcefully denied."

See all prior blog entries the bio-labs controversy Ukraine:

ONLY safeguarding bio-warfare labs as was part of the Soviet bio-warfare program? That is all? We have not heard the last of this and will not for decades to come. Think  the accusations of the USA using germs during the Korean War.
