I don't know much about bio weapons but did read this which is why I made my comment. https://www.reachingcriticalwill.org/resources/fact-sheets When compared to the cost of a nuclear weapon programme, biological weapons are extremely cheap. It is estimated that 1 gram of toxin could kill 10 million people. A purified form of botulinum toxin is approximately 3 million times more potent than sarin, a chemical nerve agent. As a comparison, a SCUD missile filled with botulinum toxin could affect an area of 3700 sq.km, an area 16 times greater than could be affected with sarin. It is important to note that while it is relatively cheap to produce the biological weapon agents in large quantities, sophisticated weapons are slightly more difficult to develop and produce. For example, when a missile is flying it gets very hot, and biological agents are killed. Therefore, the missile has to be fitted with a cooling system. In addition, storing biological weapon agents requires much effort, due to the quick decay of many of these sorts of agents. However, as far as weapons of mass destruction are concerned, biological weapons are relatively cheap to develop and produce. In one analysis, the comparative cost of civilian casualties is "$2,000 per square kilometer with conventional weapons, $800 with nuclear weapons, $600 with nerve-gas weapons, and $1 with biological weapons." Not surprisingly, biological weapons have long since become known as the poor man's atom bomb. /critical-issues/4579-biological-weapons Edited March 24, 2022 by jmccr8 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially Russia destroyed their chemical weapons stockpile, so if they do use such weapons it would be yet another proof that Putin is a liar. The US helped fund the destruction of those weapons, so you should demand your money back ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Expand I see what you are saying but still have to wonder who and how he can blame that on as an attack by the Ukraine. The Ukraine has only been defending in their country and not taking aggressive action on Russian soil. If Putin uses bioweapon in Russia on Ukrainian civilian POWs in Russia he still has Russian people that will be affected. He might be able to make it out as an attack to the Russian people but the rest of the world will know better as they can track where a missile is launched from. I would think that any sample of a bioweapon could/would be identified which lab/country it came from. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occult1 Posted March 24, 2022 #2781 Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) President Of Pontian Greek Organisation on Mariupol: The Azov Battalion hide in civilian homes The president of the Panhellenic Coordinating Committee of Repatriated Greek Pontians, Alexandros Iosifidis, addressed a desperate appeal in every direction, for the safety of ethnic Greeks stuck in the besieged city of Mariupol. The president of the Pontian association claimed that the Ukrainian neo-Nazi Azov Battalion were hiding in civilian houses. “The armed units of the Aidar and Azov battalions have been deployed inside the houses of the citizens, making any attempt of the citizens to escape impossible,” he said. [...] “Those who manage to charge their mobile phones from the car, tell me about a state of absolute terror. The [neo-Nazi] militants eat and drink, rob civilians and threaten them inside their homes,” the community leader continued. Iosifidis said that Ukrainian forces were using civilians as a “shield.” https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/24/pontian-mariupol-azov-battalion/ Why is no one in the Western mainstream media mentioning these war crimes?

I don't know much about bio weapons but did read this which is why I made my comment. Yes, a biological agent would be much less controllable. I guess I was thinking Russia wouldn't be quite that insane. They have a history of using only chlorine gas on large areas. Agents like chlorine are more easily neutralized over time, depending on humidity and prevailing winds and so on. God help us if they begin using real bio agents that can cause transmissible disease. IF the media reporting is accurate, Putin's troops are stymied to the extent that he may decide to strike hard with a WMD. Because of the inability for average citizens around the world to really TRUST info, regardless of where it originates, the Kremlin AND DC can make accusations and provide cover for their own crimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no idea what people in Russia think and will not make projections on them. Read polls, listen to Europeans who know large Russian communities in their countries. They love Putin and every scummy thing he’s ever done, including this current war. Something like 80% support him historically, and 70% support the war. You can blame their indoctrination but at the end of the day they all have the internet now and the same access to information as anyone else. I’m not making excuses for them when their most watched talk shows are talking every night about nuking the world and invading half of Europe. They’re as bad, or even worse given the information at their fingertips, than the brainwashed Germans before WW2.
