Crucial question: does the DoD fund equivalent labs in other countries too, or is Ukraine an outlier?

- HWR_14 5y agoIt's not really a crucial question - the use or not in other countries doesn't change how stupid an idea it is. But, to answer you, it's mostly in former eastern block countries. It seems to be mostly funding (and technical assistance) for the Ukrainians to build their internal version of the CDC, although it seems to also act as monies to secure any leftover Soviet bioweapons. Here's the international agreement establishing the relationship: https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/05-829-Ukraine-Weapons.pdf https://www.state.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/05-829-Ukra....
